I'm retiring in a few months, 20 year stay air force, glad to finally be done with it. I've always wanted to live in a little town. Few near by franchises, mainly kept together through the populace, peaceful living. The thing is, I've been led to believe that such a thing no longer exists. I've seen towns as such in other countries but never in America where I would like to stay (family).

So does such a thing as little populace run towns exist? If so, where do I start looking?

Try looking in West Virginia. The country I'm from had 8,000 people. The biggest town in the country had 1,500 residents, and the county seat, where I'm from, had 800.

It's not just my count, it's largely like this everywhere. People are really nice and community is important. Although folks in the town/county may be a little nibby, but that's small town life.

The biggest town in the state only has 54,000 people. That just demonstrates that there are small towns of all sizes here.

Just make sure you're at least 100 miles from the nearest Wall Mart, or you're likely to find that small-town atmosphere you're looking for gone. I lived for a year in Battle Creek, MI, and the local downtown was EMPTY. There were maybe two business on Main Street. They'd tried rennovating it, everything - and the Wall Mart down the freeway was where everyone went because there wasn't enough parking downtown. Fucking America.

That what I'm trying to avoid. I have a huge savings, that what happens when you don't spend money on anything but video games and movies for 20 years so can live anywhere, I was also thinking Ireland or Britain.

Good advice, my home town turned to crap ever since wal-mart came in.

It's more of a family thing, I've always been close with my family, flying from some place in the states to somewhere else in the states, is alot easier than flying from Ireland.

You could move to Vashon, Washington. The people there vote 'no' on anything that sounds remotely modern (such as a bridge to the island, for example) and it really has a 50s or 60s feel to it (the last part, I'm not old enough to know about, though). The best part is, is that it's a tiny small town, but a short ferry ride away from downtown Seattle.

Try looking in the Adirondack Park. There's plenty of small towns with that small town feel to them. Parts of Vermont are like that too.

Maybe town was the wrong word, I'm thinking more village... e

No thanks.

Go there, and then get a real estate guide. Small towns abound around this one. Even Abbeville itself is small, depending on what you're looking for.

Ely, Nevada.

I think it's the most isolated town in the contiguous U.S. and the closest corporate-owned establishment is in Elko, around 200 miles away.

I visited some family during the holiday season and it had a nice picturesque, small-town vibe. Also, it very rarely gets hotter than 95F despite the warmer weather lasting for the majority of the year.

The population is around 6,000.
