On a side note that's totally unrelated, just because your town is 6000 now doesnt mean it wasnt larger in the distant past. There is one of these little crapsack towns built along the highway by where I used to live. Really annoyed me because of the low speed limit for the 1000 or so people that live there. Looked it up one day and it turns out that in the 1910s-1920s it had a population of around 15,000 based on a large coal mine that existed at that time. Once the mine closed it shrank, and you would never know it was so large.
