Outside Oxford: A day in the Village of Yellow Springs

(02/06/17 10:00am)

An unabashedly liberal haven nestled in middle of rural Ohio, the village of Yellow Springs advertises itself as "everyone's favorite place." Its permanent residents range from professors of Antioch College to stand-up comedian Dave Chappelle. Restaurants and stores are painted in orange, blue and purple. Even the trash cans that line the street are whimsical works of mosaic art. A musky scent of incense hangs in nearly every store, and it's not uncommon to see "No DAPL" or "Bernie Forever" posters taped to shop windows. Although a love for Senator Sanders or organic co-ops is in no way a requirement to enjoy the village's charms, the town is sure to bring out any latent hippie tendencies.
