Nice to meet you. So what high school did you go to? Really? My sister was 3 years behind you and my cousin played against you guys in the state championship game.

*the most exciting thing that happens the entire year is when the grain silo by all the businesses downtown catches fire and everyone just kinda stands there watching and drinking beer til the fire department shows up

quote:

On the afternoon of Nov. 7, 1996, a fire started at Heaven Hill’s Warehouse I. Fueled by 75 mph winds, the rapidly growing fire ravaged the warehouse, with flames reaching heights of 350 feet. A river of fire spread downhill towards other warehouses and the distillery as the warehouse collapsed from the heat. Flaming Bourbon crawled across the Heaven Hill campus and through a nearby creek, burning seven warehouses, the original Heaven Hill distillery and several other buildings in its path. Over 90,000 barrels of Bourbon were lost, two percent of the world’s whiskey at the time.

Clearly people in cities like Hockey though because that's where the arenas and major teams are. But I have noticed people from small towns are often way more into sports. I think playing a sport like Hockey is just too expensive in a big city so it's more of a small town/suburban thing these days, specially if your small town actually gets winter with actual ice outside.

There are only 10 cities in all of Canada that have population of <500,000 and every small township and community has a local rink for hockey, ringette and curling. In the winter they are usually the only place were you can socialize with the rest of the town.

*first day of hunting season is considered an acceptable excuse to miss school, for students and teachers*


If you live in tobacco country, the entire school system shuts down for a week or two while kids and teachers both work the fields. Pays pretty well too.
