At the risk of sounding pollyanish, I'd like to express my gratitude to the people of Coeur d'Alene. My husband and I moved our family here three years ago and have never had a regret in choosing Coeur d'Alene as our relocation destination. The schools have provided an excellent education to our children, the business community has been open-minded, and folks you meet in the course of a routine day are about as friendly as they come. As the world around us becomes increasingly complex, bordering on inhuman, I am thankful for the warmth and friendliness I encounter here in the course of a normal day. Coeur d'Alene still is a small town in the important ways/Leslie Macomber, Coeur d'Alene.

Question: Are Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden and Sandpoint still small enough towns for you?
