Theme characterised by lovely imperfections as opposed to ungraceful big city decomposition. With a taste of details and humor.

Ooooh, what a wonderful idea for a theme-thread! I have nothing to contribute, just wanted to express my appreciation. :)
(Love the football field!!) ;D

"be careful"
If the dogs come, lie flat and wait for help.
If no one comes - good luck

Thank you, Elsa!

From a small harbour. In front of the houses there are 3 benches each with a sign - translates approx. to this:
- left: "Lie bench"
- center: "Confession bench"
- right: "Truth bench"

I wouldn't exactly call this town life :)

A 20 mile 4x4 trail connects the desert town of Pioneertown to the mountain resort town of Big Bear California. Along the trail is a handful of secluded homes.

Perhaps not reliable pizza delivery?

A few farmhouses in the forest on the border between Belgium and Netherlands.

Very interesting topic and lots of great pictures!

Not so much.

Skorovass, a small, shut down, mining community in the "periphery of nowhere". Some people still live and thrive there, but mostly weekend visitors maintain the houses. The community house however seem like it was left in the middle of a show. Lots of great photographic opportunities :)
-
An eerily reminder of the abandoned mining town, Knaben, in southern parts of the our country.
Perhaps mining enterprises are fraught with uncertainty? This picture is a literal 'short story' by definition and in its content.
-
"Short story", a fitting title :)

Even in the megalopolis Tokyo, there are areas that carry the feel of "small town".
Assort of posters billing (from left to right, top to bottom) an event hard to decode (lol), a live show by an "enka" (Japanese old-school pop music) singer with a guest saxophonist (!) with the weird title "Acoustic Concert", Japanese traditional dance and a downtown theater performance.
Shot ten years ago with Sony CyberShot in Asakusa.

In the fall of 2014 a colleague and I got sent to Nunavik (northern tip of Quebec) to so some bathymetric work for a mine. Our flight was delayed due to weather and we had to spend a night in a large Inuit community (a small community by southern standards). We quickly realized we weren't in Kansas anymore when we asked where we could get some food. The only place to get food was the co-op, and they had closed hours ago. Thankfully we struck up a conversation with a police officer who scrounged some food for us.
It was a cool experience. Canada is such a big place with so much diversity that it's easy to forget about the First Nations people beside you, let alone those in the North.
The photo is of a small periodic fishing village on one of the larger lakes by the mine. Inuit would catch arctic char here and likely smoke it for the winter time.

Kind of reminds me that there a more places to travel and winter still exists.

Great that you revive this thread, Arturo - very nice image, and I wouldn't mind seeing the bakery outside if you have an image?

What was it like?
Colin, it's a wood-fired oven, and of course I bought two loaves of bread, six angel hair cupcakes, and four orange cakes. The town must have about 140 residents. The baker inherited the bakery from his father, but business isn't going well, he told me.

Lars, this is the street where Benito's bakery is, it's one of the houses in the back, it doesn't have a sign,

Many thanks, Arturo - I looked at a map and Puebla de Mula looks like a small town.
Very nice image - weathered old houses and especially with the person in the sun coming from the side street. I guess everyone knows (or can smell) where the bakery is in small towns - no need for a sign.
