There are alot of nowheres-villie towns/cities in the US,Canada and the UK. Did you grow up in one and what was your experience? From what I have observed there are really two types of nowhere's villes, the countryside version and the hopeless rundown inner city variant
I grew up in a medium-sized city. Too small for anything important but way too big to be able to see people that you recognize just walking around.

seems shitty how do you live like this?

It's a city filled with mutts, spics, and nogs. But it has a large rich white neighborhood that's filled with the worst boomer stereotypes possible. It really is shitty but I don't know where else I'd go.
Ethan Howard
Yeah. I grew up in a nowhere-ville. It's a small town (that's so small it's classified as a village). >no jobs Sort of? There are a couple. >smells like mudpies Nope. It depends on the season. In the winter, it smells like cold. In the spring and summer it smells like flowers, because there are a lot around. My house has a lilac bush. In the fall it smells crisp. >everyone is on drugs Yes and no. There aren't many smokers, and the drugs aren't as bad here as they are in slightly larger cities. Many of the methheads live in a neighboring town, about fifteen minutes away. Mostly alcohol and marijuana , with a side of smokes. >girls get snatched up Nah. A lot of the girls from my high school are in relationships with former classmates, or dudes from the class above me. My graduating class was 38 (36 if you count those who didn't graduate on time). Nothing really changes. Quite a few of my teachers taught both my parents. I like it though. Nowhere-villes aren't half bad. >t. Michigander

Seems cozy. I don't know why the drug addict stereotypes only get applied to rural hicks. Go to any large city and there are bums on every street, leaving used needles and literal shit on the sidewalk.

I live in Los Angeles, but I visit my family up in Klamath Falls every year. Just got back today actually. I know exactly what you mean. I woke up Sunday morning and was shocked that there was no cars out, no one going to the only bagel shop / cafe in town. Last time I Was there the streets were so empty a deer was running around in the mist at like 10am. Went to to a bar on sunday night and no one is there, so the bar maids stand outside for two hours at a time just chain smoking and talking to friends and only come in if you ask for a beer.
Been out other nights too in years past, but this was just the other day. It was so jarring compared to regular LA life.
>FULL of seniors, you can go a whole day without seeing anyone under 60 >The only young people who don't leave immediately after high school are underachieving losers like myself, druggies, or wannabe rednecks >Very little to do, impossible to meet people unless you want to join a bridge club or knitting group >Tons of vacant part-time minimum-wage jobs but nobody to fill them because half the population is retired, plus housing is so expensive that it's pointless >No culture >Sour smell of chicken shit all summer
Normies who say "just go outside bro" are completely ignorant of places like these

>The drug addict stereotype That's because it's true. It's a stereotype 100% grounded in reality. There's a town about 5 miles away from mine, and it has a TON of druggies. It's still small, but it has actual infrastructure. There are a lot of druggies there. The high school had a weekly (maybe even more frequently?) drug check, dogs and all. My town just isn't big enough to have it. There's a school, a police/fire station, a gas station, a hardware store, and a pizza shop (that has the best pizza in at least 6 towns). There isn't anywhere to deal them. It makes more sense to just live in the other town if you want "the stuff". >t. had a neighbor that was a turbo druggie, and moved to said neighboring town.
Michael Johnson
What causes them to congregate there?
Ryder Myers
The presence of druggies acts like a druggie magnet. You have one guy who goes to Owosso Michigan, and then deals it to everyone in his town. This is present in the neighboring town, and others too. Owosso is known for being one of the larger meth hotspots of Mid-Michigan. One Breaking Bad wannabe ruins a house each year on a minimum.

michigan, it always seemed like alright state, I was in Bellville briefly for fa job, but it was kinda dull. youtube.com/watch?v=QVfTouXOJDI
Rust belts have a rustic feel, but it just seems to be leading nowhere.
I was a Navy brat, I always envied people who had lifelong childhood friends, hometowns, that sense of permanence from growing up in the same area, etc
shit sucked man. These small towns are hotbets for drugs and fuckery.

>Live in small alpine village >Beautiful scenery all around >Everybody knows each other and are pretty much on good terms >Have traditional celebrations throughout the year Feels good
I'm pretty convinced my friend and I found a bag or heroin at our local park, but we actually just destroyed it because we were such good boys
Jonathan Butler
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice dubs, but what about >jobs >women >asstiance with building passions
I lived in a similiar place with beautiful scenery, but everyone either played sports, did drugs or played an instrument. I did neither of these things, thus I didn't fit the bill.
Majority of folks didn't stick with what they were doing though, shit doesn't feel good.
>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a ziploc bag of off-white powder we found taped on the inside of the trash we tossed it around stabbed it sniffed it then threw it in the river
I didn't even think about it until like 15 years later.
Xavier Rivera
that's dreadful why would someone dump that in a park
Caleb Campbell
It seemed like a dead drop and there was nothing else around
