Even though I’m in Peru now, I sometimes miss my hometown San Antonio, TX (minus the politics of course). Hands down there is the best Tex-Mex and my Dad’s garden.
What is special about your hometown?

Mhmm! I can't fault the village, though. I don't know what their finances look like but I can imagine they're just getting by exactly because there are little to no "modern" things popping up. The newest visible addition was a supermarket (think Aldi, not WalMart) relatively far outside the village center. I wouldn't be surprised if the council/mayor purposely keeps big investors like this out. The advantage: It keeps its "German rural village" charme and aesthetic over literal decades Disadvantage: Probably little money to fix anything but the most pressing issues.
