I was back in my own hometown on Monday. It's a small farming community. The population is about 2000 people and has been for decades. It's the largest town in any direction for 20 miles, with smaller towns of 600-1200 dotting the countryside every 7-10 miles. I live about 2.5 hours away in a city of about 250,000 with a metropolitan area of about double that. Interestingly, I feel no need or want to give anything back to my hometown. It isn't animosity; I'm not angry at them. I just feel nothing toward the town I grew up in.
