I live in the Village of the Town. We are mostly a rural farming area. One funny thing about our Village is that nearly all the Bars are on Church Street and all the Churches on Main Street. We have a few Mills in the Village but we are hurting for jobs and industry. Everyone seems to be either a beautician or a realtor. We have a central school in the Town, kindergarten - 12th. Mostly everyone grew up here. I am an outsider, only been here about 25 years. Everyone knows or is related to everyone else so you have to be careful what you say. I do not know all the connections. It is a quiet place but we have had our share of suicides and murders. Doors are still kept for the most part unlocked. It is a pleasant place to live. We are best known for being the home of Grandma Moses. Her grandson continues her tradition of folk painting.
