I can see it now, advertised throughout Mudcatville, "Come to Orillia, the center of the Mudcat Universe."

It could be the start of a whole series of pilgrimages.

I cannot say anything about small towns. I grew up in a town with a population of under 500. The "big city" was only 10 miles away and had a population of about 8,000.

I don't know what the population of Bath, Maine, is but we have three stop lights. All in the same intersection.
