How is the town of Waymer described in the novel, Wringer?

It is understood that Waymer is a small rural community based on a newspaper clipping announcing the details of the next Pigeon Shoot. Other indicators of Waymer's size are the freedom with which Palmer and his friends roam the town and ride their bicycles. There is no danger from high traffic areas or less than friendly neighborhoods to be avoided. The Pigeon Shoot, which is the source of Palmer's distress, is held at the only soccer field in town to raise funds for the town's only municipal park.

The author provides images of small town America with the boys climbing up the side of Palmer's house to reach his bedroom to retrieve him for a midnight adventure. Palmer and his friends live close enough to the only school so that they are able to walk. Even the town's grocery store is a short five blocks from Palmer's house, indicating a low-key village atmosphere.
