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.

    Are you really suggesting people know your family in NYC? If your last name isn’t Trump or equally famous pretty much no one knows who your family is.

    You might be known on your block or neighborhood but NYC? Get the fuck outta here.

      So being well known in your 'hood isn’t like being well known in a small town? Maybe you need some perspective on the discussion and the differences? I’m just trying to point out that the similarities exist.

      Also, I’m just generalizing NYC as a region to avoid specifics, why would I want to dox myself?

      Also let’s be real, there are far more well known families in NYC than just the Trump’s, the Trump’s are outcasts of high society, which contains people who are actually wealthy, also there’s another term for the Trump’s and that term is infamous.

        My reaction is to someone claiming to be known in New York city because of their dad. They would need to be internationally famous for that to be the case because NYC knowing you is different from a handful of people on your part of the block knowing you.

        You are literally claiming to be known by millions and that is just hard to believe

          You’re still just putting words in my mouth, I already explained that wasn’t what was meant, but whatever go off chief.

            “I grew up in New York City, my pops is fairly well known, we’re part of a large family, most people knew me as his son or one of my female cousins cousin”

            No one is putting words in your mouth. You literally claim your pops is well known in NYC and most would know you.

              Nah you’re just being an obnoxious douchbag ruining engagement on this site because you want to feel better about yourself by being a judgemental prick towards others, sorry your life is so small enough and sad enough that you have to try and tear others down to feel better about yourself.
