What makes a small town great?
Is it the historic downtown? The local diner everyone recommends? The Friday night ballgames? The annual festival? The bookstore, the barber shop, the farmer's market, or the familiar faces who still wave from their front porches?
The answer is yes, and so much more.
In 75 Things That Make Small Towns Great, author Dr. David Powers explores the places, traditions, businesses, people, and ideas that transform ordinary communities into places people are proud to call home. Drawing from real-world examples across America and his own experiences living in Liberty, South Carolina, Powers examines the qualities that make small towns thrive and why they still matter in the twenty-first century.
Inside you'll discover:
- The people who form the backbone of strong communities
- The businesses and gathering places that create local identity
- The public spaces that encourage connection and belonging
- The traditions that bring generations together
- The overlooked details that make visitors want to return again and again
- Practical ideas that any community can adapt and implement
This isn't a book about nostalgia.
It's a book about possibility.
Whether you're a resident, business owner, elected official, community volunteer, preservationist, entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves small-town America, this book will inspire you to see your community with fresh eyes and recognize the opportunities hiding in plain sight.
Because great small towns don't happen by accident.
They are built by people who care.
And the future of America may depend on them.
