Zelda: Spokane’s A ‘Small Town’?

Did anybody get a chance to read Timothy Egan’s “Lost Town Blues” op-ed in the NY Times today? He starts out talking about hard times in Spokane, then goes on to discuss Obama’s remarks about “bitterness.” It’s worth it to read the blog comments from Inland Northwesterners. It didn’t go unnoticed that he called Spokane a “small town”/ Zelda .

Question: What do you consider to be a “small town” in terms of population?
