Our Town

 

Our Town

Hello! This is Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask just 4 questions each week in an effort to get you blogging, thinking and learning about others.
Maybe we can discuss the town you live in. It might be nice to find out more about where you live and why you live there. Sometimes we just fall into a place and other times we \choose.
Here's a chance to sing the praises of your town or uncover it's faults.. have at it!

1. What are the good points to living in your town? Could you interest us in moving there?  It is small, the population is 911.  It is quiet and there are a lot of trees and wildlife.  We have good air quality and water.  My favorite is that it is quiet.

2. Are the things you need convenient to your home? (shopping, library, schools, entertainment?)  It is not super close to a lot of things, but we do have a Dollar General, 2 restaurants, gas station, post office, schools, several churches and some antique stores.  If you drive about 10-15 minutes, you have access to a lot.

3. Did you choose your town or did you just end up there?  I ended up here.  My husband had bought this house before we got married, so I moved here after we got married.

4. Is your town known for any special foods, activities, places or people?  This town is known for The World's Smallest Cathedral. When I first moved here, it was active and taken care of by a Catholic Priest, but it has sadly closed.  We actually used to have tour buses come to see the Cathedral and take tours.  The Priest died years back and the Cathedral was closed in 2010.  I went to visit it before it closed.  It was cute.

Highlandville is also known for The Pensmore Mansion.  It is huge home and a big mystery around here.
