Nothing like Stand By Me happened in good ole' Bell, FL. Fellow EH Team member Nick can attest to that.

It's such a great story.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394045103473759585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836370962531240642.post-41621282225665104072013-04-17T09:26:00.153-04:002013-04-17T09:26:00.153-04:00Great list!

Growing up in the suburbs outside Baltimore City I always sort of romanticized small town life from books & some movies (like Now & Then or Stand by Me). Once I hit high school I realized that my thinking was a bit off base and became very glad to be in a metropolitan area. This list of shit that goes down in small towns makes me extra glad. I would prefer to avoid the Lillian, Ohio's and Dante's Peak, Washington's of America.

I still love the hell out of it today.<br /><br />And you're right about Jaws, it's the tell all end all of small town/big problem movies.<br /><br />Great work!<br />Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
