An out-of-town car charging from an electric pole being front-page news in the local paper the same day it occurs is the most small-town thing ever, and I love it.

I assume if the transformer had blown the Californians would have had to work off the charges living in the little town, being hilariously angry for the first ~~act~~ month, only to come around, leave after some emotional misunderstanding, but then return just in time to save the town hall from getting bulldozed.
