____________
Today, the village of Curry Run is not considered a large metropolis or even a small borough. We do have a church, body shop, and self-storage business. Our population is currently at 26 but fishing season is coming. If we consider our suburbs, we can increase our population by about 7 people. We are a small village nestled in the hills of Clearfield County where hunting, fishing, hiking, four-wheeling, and nature are the main attractions. It is a quiet life compared to some societies but we like it here and call it home.3903
