Assuming you aren't being sarcastic we have incredibly different definitions of small towns. My rule of thumb is when it becomes difficult to quickly count all the stoplights in a town in your head it often isn't a "small town" anymore. For example my wife grew up in a quinessential "small town" and it only has three stoplights.

A three-stoplight "town" is a village at best, more like a crossroads or a couple of junctions :)
Cities are urban. They have congestion, nightlife with noticeable quantities people on the streets in the evening, chance encounters as you walk around, and a general feeling of lots of stuff happening within a walkable distance.
