I figured I'd share my tiny, tiny town too. There's not really much to show...and nothing exciting. In 2000, the population was a whopping 1,015 people...lol We just had a centennial celebration last year, so the town is going in its 101st year. Not much has probably changed other than a few new buildings & houses. Sticking out tongue

Here's Main Street - where all the action happens, lol This is right by my house, and it was taken during the 'busy' part of the day - haha

post office is to the right, on the left is a garage, the beauty salon, and a closed down resturant. On the right side, you can see a parts-place (I think that's what they do, I'm not really sure), the police station, the library, and the city hall where the green tarps are. Our electric company is also squeezed in there too.

The schools are all located together, but they are in 3 separate buildings. The Elementary school is one of the few Level 5 schools in our state (the best level obtainable).

Here's where Jake goes to school:

Here's the middle school:

And the High school:

This used to be the school but it caught on fire and burned completely.

We have two restaurants in town.

They just opened an ice cream shop a couple of weeks ago too - yum! I'm sure the boys will visit there a lot this summer. Smiling

We have one general store in town:

We just got a grocery store in town - woohoo

Our town hall/library (they're combined - town hall is on the left side)

The beauty salon:

Our gas station:

Flower shop:

We just got a YMCA last year also. No pics of it though, lol

We also have a park that is the center for baseball and soccer around here. No pics of it either. Our baseball team is often known for being one of the best in the state.

Caledonia is most known for being the place where employees/military from Columbus AFB reside. It's one of only 4 pilot training bases in the U.S. so we CONSTANTLY have planes flying overhead. My hubby works there too.

We are home to Cedar Hill Animal Santuary. They take in abused/abandoned exotic cats.

Churches are EVERYWHERE. I can think of 10 within a mile from my house, and there are dozens more than that around town.

Although we're about 5 hours north of the coast, we did get some damage from Hurricane Katrina also. The town is still in the process of repairing some of it. It was a Cat. 1-2 when it came through here, but the winds lasted for HOURS.

Tiny example, but it's the only picture I took.

My neighbor's house (all is well with their home now):

We have the Tombigbee waterway nearby which gives us beautiful views such as this:

So, there you go. Big city living - haha. The closest city is Columbus, MS. Memphis, TN is 3 hours away, Tuscaloosa, AL is a hour away, New Orleans is 4 1/2 hours.

It doesn't have much, but it is very quiet, the neighbors are friendly and watch out for you, and I feel safe here. Smiling When/if we move, I'm really going to miss it here despite my complaints of how tiny it is. Sticking out tongue
