Coming home from Indiana, I traveled the National Road to Springfield and then hit other back roads to reach the Yellow Springs area. Here I ate at the Golden Jersey Inn (had an amazing black bean burger) and then walked around Yellow Springs for a few hours.

Home to Antioch College, Yellow Springs has a happy, laid back sort of hippie vibe. It reminds me a lot of Athens where I attended Ohio University. There are lots of quirky shops and restaurants to enjoy plus it’s pedestrian friendly and packed with interesting architecture and public art.

Have a look!

Don’t you want to just go sit down in one of those chairs? And I just want to say, there’s a lot of wisdom in that sign message. I am nicer when I like my outfit! Lol.

Wanna go? You should! They love visitors and there’s a lot to do in that area.  I’m plotting a return trip over the holidays to see the light display at Clifton Mill and to shop the antique malls at Springfield. Oh! And for all you architecture fans out there, Springfield is home to a stunning Frank Lloyd Wright home.
