Did anybody else here grow up in a rural area? Not rural in the sense that some may think Salt Lake is rural, but 5,000 people rural.

Although I have no interest in moving back to my hometown of Price, Utah, I do miss some aspects of the area. There were great debates over Ford v. Chevy and Coke v. Pepsi. One of the most memorable times was when Wal-Mart first came into town and soda pop was being sold at a ridiculously low price. K-Mart got in on the action and thus began the great pop wars of '89. People were loading up their pickups with $1 six-packs. It lasted about two weeks, but it was the talk of the town for a year.

I know some others here grew up rural, were there any great debates in your hometown? I'm sure the Heber natives on this board have great memories of arguing over whose train set was the coolest or which Sanderson brother was the cutest.
