In my case, the whole state of Maine is a small town.
From the local paper:
Driver punches headlight back on
WINSLOW - Police stopped a vehicle that had its passenger-side headlight out at 1:47 a.m. today, on Bay Street.
According to the report filed by Officer Haley Fleming, the operator stepped out of the vehicle and punched the headlight. The headlight came on and was functional, and no action on the part of police was required.

Wow. That made the papers?
I didn’t even post the story about the call to police about a noise. They came to investigate, but determined it was just the wind.
LOL.
We interrupt this broad cast! A moose has been spotted licking salt off a back road and all people are warned against going near him! NO ONE BE A HERO!
haha
hahaha…i grew up in NB canada, right on the border to you. Nothing beat “crossing the lines” for red hot dogs and cheap milk. Small town indeed.

As an East Texan…I can say that living in Lewiston-Auburn…and Lisbon Falls was quite the experience for me…along with having short stint as jailer for Androscoggin Co.
I do miss the summers there…it was funny hearing people complain about 80 degree weather.

HA! That’s the joke-- I did post it!! The whole story: “A strange noise was reported. Police came to investigate, but determined is was the wind.” LMAO! Talk about newsworthy!
NB, eh? Glad to know you’re in the neighborhood! I have distant family in “Beersville, NB” 
I remember when I went to UConn and I was driving in one morning. The big story on the radio was that the Mansfield manuer spreader had broken down on one of the main streets and thet had to close down the road. It was the biggest story we had all week, lol.

LOL. Once you did, though, you’d have a story.
…but no reporter to report it.
Dang looks like Worcester Street is pretty tough.
Nice.
I grew up in Bath/Brunswick. Damn, I miss Maine.

I tried to find a street that was repeated on that list to try to think of a witty joke to say about it. I didnt think two mentions warranted a witty joke.
