there's presumably pizza in the smallest towns tho, I'd suggest Time To Theatre. Not because of the Theatre per se, but because "big enough to have a theatre" is probably a good proxy of "big enough to be appealing to people who enjoy something other than nature".

In Indiana, my favorite dinner theater is in a town of 500 people.

For a while, someone was trying to start a theater in an even more remote spot, an unincorporated community about an hour from there with maybe a dozen homes nearby, but they finally moved it to a large town.

  • I think by "theater" the OP was implying professional theatre. Lots of small towns have theater, but professional theatre is a much higher bar.

    In my case, my old workplace in Ottawa, Canada had a "time to moose" of about 5 miles and a "time to theatre" of about 1/2 a mile. Sadly, the professional Opera company in Ottawa went bankrupt so we only have amateur Opera now, but we do get regular professional Broadway productions so it still counts.
