The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?

I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.

One of my hobbies is doing improv. There aren't a lot of small towns with improv theatres. A lot of small towns don't have theatres at all.

Having lived on both for extended periods, I'm very much a "West coast is best coast" kind of person, but that does not apply to comedy. If you like stand-up comedy, you want to be in New York or Philly, obviously preferably New York. Number one location in the world. Chicago might argue, but they would be wrong.

Austin is having a little comedy hit right now, interestingly. But yeah, NY is top

That does sound challenging. I mean, lack of culture in general probably makes this kind of thing difficult for so many different types of performance art.
