I grew up in the midwest and when I was a child-teenager, I would take evening walks with my mom. Every one we passed by smiled and said hello. It was very nice. Most of the people we smiled and said hi to, we never met before. There were a few regulars on our walking route and that always felt like home.
Now I live in Texas... in a very large city. I always smile, some times they smile back... but not always. I do miss the smaller town feel. But no one says hello any more. Even me.
