This snapshot was collected in conjunction with the Museum on Main Street program at the Smithsonian Institution. It is part of the "Stories from Main Street" storytelling project, intended to capture Americans' thoughts about their neighborhoods, waterways, towns, traditions, and personal experiences.

Talk about how you came to live in your town.

"When we got to Cozad I liked it, it was small and quite but much bigger than our old town. And all I saw was little kids running around and playing so I wanted to go and join them. I thought it was going to be awesome, then I got older and there was nothing to do. The only thing you could do is bowl and I don't like to bowl, but good thing I play sports.

I was scared to move to Cozad but now I'm good with it. I have a bunch of friends but I still miss my old ones. Now we are here for ten years since we moved here. I like it and it's so quite and small, but we are really good at sports and I have a bunch of friends, and that's what I have."
