As a non-American, I’m very confused by this. If it’s a town, it’s not rural by definition. Because, you-know, it’s urban.

Also, could we get a definition of town vs small town. Do you not have the concept of a village? (Village in the UK would be a settlement with a population of a couple of thousand, with usually a pub, local shop, maybe a post office and primary school if you’re lucky).

      But wait there’s more! Like Hamlets which are smaller than a village.

      And we haven’t even started getting into the different types of cities: Metropolitis, Twin, Satellite.

        Minneapolis is the best of the two twin cities :)

        Sorry, St Paul. All you’ve got going is Casetta’s and Can Can Wonderland.
