There are some sights that just holler, "Ya gotta love this small town!".
Which is pretty much what I said out my car window to this hipster urban cowboy, (for my wordy sisters: definition of urban can include "pertaining to town...") thus starting a pleasant, impromptu conversation.
If you've never lived in a place where strangers waive to each other when they pass in the road, at least treat yourself to a visit.
