Hey, small towns aren’t for everyone.

But if you grow up in one, you might feel trapped and stifled by the lack of excitement and the lack of opportunities.

But there are probably a lot of great things about small-town life, too!

A young man named Mack shared a TikTok video and talked about the realities of growing up in an out-of-the-way place.

Mack said, “Growing up in a small town was pretty boring. I mean, we literally only have one stop light.”

He also told viewers about the size of his graduating class, how everything in town closes before 9 p.m., and that his town doesn’t have a whole lot of standard businesses, like McDonald’s, Starbucks, Chipotle, etc.
