Grew up in a town with a strong town meeting tradition (to this day) and unfortunately moved out. There really is nothing like it.

Always thought the state should push to shut all business that day so everyone could attend, but wasn't meant to be. Seems like they've promoted it less and less.

There is no substitute for face to face, neighbor to neighbor communication about local issues. Doesn't matter if you're 5 gen woodchuck or moved from the flatlands last year. It's a great way to get involved with your community

Hate to see it slowly disappear
