clauses with "where"

0I am having a problem with clauses that have "where" instead of clauses that have "that"02br
02br
00i.e. We went to a town where everyone was nice02br
02br
00I thought that you you used "where" in the objective case and "that" in the subjective case.02br
02br
00But...02br
02br
00I went to the store that my aunt owns.02br
02br
00I wirk in a store where my aunt works.02br
02br
00They are both in the objective case, but sometimes we don't use "where"02br
02br
00Is it something to do with adjective clauses and adverbial clauses?0-
