I grew up in a hamlet (un-incorporated village) in NYS. It was formed at the intersection of several roads including NYS route 7. We had a traffic light, a corner store with gasoline and a tiny post office, a volunteer fire department, a branch of the county library housed in what was a tiny house, a diner where I washed dishes starting at age 14, a gin mill (bar), a Quaker meeting house, a church, an antique dealer, a carpenter, a florist/greenhouse and a plumbing, heating and electrical contractor (my dad). And maybe 60-70 homes in a half-mile radius. About 4 of those were small farms with some livestock.
Today it still has the traffic light, firehouse, corner store (minus the gas and post office), diner, Quaker meeting house, church and a newer, larger library and a public sewer. I think an attorney lives in the antique dealer's home. It was a good place to grow-up and probably still is, but a little different. Used to roam all over on foot, bicycle, dirt-bike or snowmobile but more houses now and land lost to I-88. Kids don't have the space and freedom I had growing up but they do have the Internet.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
