February-Location, location, location!
(view spoiler)[There aren't even 300 people in my town, which technically isn't big enough to be considered a town.

Our school has (and I just counted on my fingers to get this number) 11 kids. Believe me, I understand middle-of-nowhere-itis. :D

Anyway, my town has 12 letters, one of them an X. My area is Northwestern Ontario, which is not only too long but has way too many Ns and Os. So I'm going to read my lake which is abbreviated LOTWs (Lake of the Woods) and a book that takes place in my area.
