When I was a kid and teenager, we often went up to my dad's cabin.  On the way there, there was a REALLY TINY town.  A general store, a bar/restaurant, and that is about all (not even a gas station).

The general store and the bar/restaurant were right next to each other, with maybe 10 feet of space between the buildings.  Due to the way the telephone company drew the lines for long-distance telephone calls, it was a long-distance call from that general store to the bar/restaurant.   🤣
