One-Horse Town w/o A Hitching Post

There are a number of people in Boundary County, younger folks, mainly, who complain that there’s nothing to do here. Back in the day, they’d have called it a one horse town. There is one man in this county, however, who finds plenty to do in all seasons, and those who watch can set their seasonal clock by him when he hitches up his one-horse shay and makes his first six-mile trip to town after the snow breaks. In his one-horse shay, Wayne Nishek is as sure a harbinger of spring as the robins. He does have one problem, though. In a town filling up with parking lots, he has no place to hitch his horse. “The last time I came to town,” he said, “my mare got upset because there wasn’t a hitching post”/ Mike Weland , News Bonners Ferry.

Question: Have you ever lived in a place that could be called “a one-horse town”? Did you enjoy the experience?
