The beauty of small towns

Galena, Illinois, is often pictured when urbanists want to show the ideal American main street. It was also listed as number 35 in a recent Architectural Digest report on 50 Most Beautiful Small Towns in America. While this list is subjective, it does highlight the treasure of America’s small towns (and another great list could be made of small cities). Small towns are often beautiful, and they represent a particular scale of urbanism that is very desirable. Thousands of small towns are also threatened if they are not dead already (effectively or actually).
