Good to know...because I think a pair of "cheaters" might be in my future—like the next couple of years. Of course, I suppose I could get those anywhere....

They have a store that specializes in Berkenstocks, too.  And some cool bookstores and coffee houses and cafes and bistros. I swear, you feel like you're somewhere else. Big-time tourism, because of it. Lots of pretty nature areas in the area, too. I hike there quite a bit.

I didn't realize they've always been making cheese.  I thought that was something recent.  I'm due for a trip to Young's soon.

There is an optical shop (I forget the name) in Yellow Springs that is famous in our business and has one of the best collections of frames to choose from in the entire US.

Yellow Springs had a bit of a Berkeley feel to me when I visited.

And yes—everyone who lives here has been to Youngs.

Have you ever been to Young's?  They're making cheese there now.

Had no idea Allison Janney was from Dayton.  I thought it was just her character on West Wing.  I just checked out her bio on IMDB.com and it looks like she might have been my cousin's classmate at Kenyon.  I remember my cousin telling me he graduated with Alan Alda's daughter.

Antioch University——in Yellow Springs, OH. A cute, earthy little town that looks like you could set it down in northern California (think Mendocino)/southern Oregon and it would fit right in.

Rod Serling was from upstate New York (Syracuse & Binghamton areas).  I think he went to college near Dayton, and worked in TV in Cincinnati for a while.  His production company was named for a county in NY State (Cayuga).

Yep, he was an infant when he moved to Cleveburg from England.  His dad owned and operated a hardware store in Cleveland Heights and Hope was here from infancy til he hit the bricks for Vaudeville and beyond.

The town claims him as a native.
