They changed the name of where I live from the Woodlands, which is a suburb, to "The Woodlands Township", because a lot of upper-income snobs live here, and "township" sounds British. About 150,000 people, that is a pretty big town. Corsicana, Texas, with about 25,000, is a small town, but there are much smaller specks.
Of course, Chicago is my kind of town.
