Kick Ass Small Towns

Hello Internets,

I would like to share a story my friend recently told me. One of my dearest friends who grew up in a relatively large city had to move to a very small town about just under a year ago for work and is discovering some of the wonderful things all us small town folks can sometimes just take for granted. An excellent example of this is recently she made an appointment to get her car fixed, on what should have been her day off, but she got called into work so she simply dropped her car off before the shop opened and intended to call and let them know what she had done. The universe however had other plans as she proceeded to be run off her feet at work and only remembered about her car as she realized she was going to have to walk home, by now it was much to late to call the shop so she just walked home. She was finally able to get in touch with the shop about 30 hours after she had dropped the car off and what did she discover when she got in touch with the shop? They had simply assumed that they were supposed to do the work previously discussed and that she would come back and get the car when she was ready. This blew my friend away, the shop didn't even have a number to call her on to let her know her car was fixed, but they just did the work and waited. I should mention at this point she has used this shop for parts and work before, but still it was pretty amazing. So I would like to take a moment to say thank you kick ass small towns for continuing to help people out and for the quiet faith you put in your community it is truly a wonderful thing to be a part of and absolutely the best thing I have heard this week.

Keep finding the joy,
B
