I grew up near a town of 1200 that was 30km from a city of 20k. I was considered odd for enjoying reading but luckily went to a feeder high school of 1500 kids so met up with fellow geeks.

10k is not a small town.

Ok, sure.

Did you leave the vicinity of that small town because you were into reading?

Or did you leave it to get an education & a job?

Both. People ask if I will return to my home town when I retire and “hell no” is always my response.

The oneupmanship going on here is ridiculous. Both towns are incredibly small to me.
