Where's the action in this town?

Okay, we live in a very small town. More young people move over here, but still, it's a town where many elderly live. There's not much to do around here. We have a supermarket, a small grocery store, 1 pharmacy, 4 bars, 2 diners, 1 small school, 1 library, a couple of hair dressers, 2 gas stations, 2 butchers, 2 bakers, a retirement home, a police station, a fire department and a post office. That's about it. 

Around midnight, everyone is asleep. You might see a lost cat, but you won't see people hanging out on the streets. We get a good rest at night. There is hardly any vandalism. No car accidents. No abnormalities. No action. No nothing. 

It doesn't bother me. That's why we came to live here. That's why we bought a house in this cute little town. That's why our kids can still run errands by themselves or ride their bikes. I'm happy and I like to live here. I wouldn't want it otherwise. Unless..
