As I have been studying in my local Starbucks lately I have run into quite a few friends and acquaintance that I have not seen for quite some time. It's always a great feeling when you are just sitting there enjoying some coffee and reading a good book and see a friend walk in door. That small town sort of feeling when you can just run into friends during the normal course of a day and stop and catchup is probably the reason that so many people like the feel of small towns. It makes you feel like part of society when you can go places and have people you know and who know you be there.
