I don't know how 'rural' a rural Southern abode is :-).  The northern tier 
of Pennsylvania is very rural. I'm 3 miles outside of town (the county seat 
and largest town in the county...less than 3,000 people). When I moved here, 
there were only 2 other houses visible from my house; now there are 5 houses 
and a church visible. Being so close to town, the area is getting built 
up...the rest of the county is much more rural.  The closest Walmart is 15 
miles, and the only large chain store in the area (AMES) closed 5 years ago. 
We do have a Pizza Hut and a McDonalds in town.
