I grew up in a town with about 200,000 people and a metropolitan area close to 500,000. I disagree with you, Ziggs, in saying these towns have no character. There is plenty of character and pride in these towns. Ninnu, your question, "what is wrong with small towns?", is kind of vague but I think I know what you are getting at. As opposed to Europe, the U.S. is frickin' huge in land mass. With the exception of the Mid-east/Northeast and Western California, there is so much space between big cities that they are all very different from one another- dialects, customs, everything. So, people from the North are always making fun of people from the South and vice versa. People from big cities are making fun of people from small towns for being ******** and misinformed.
People from small towns, especially in less densely popualated states, are generally not as connected with the rest of the country. they are more isolated and less cultured.
But, to answer your question, I don't think there is anything wrong with small towns. They are just different. When you get outsiders and big wigs from the city coming into these towns, they are kind of culture-shocked, and look down upon it.
