Yellow Springs

It's a beautiful day, come out and play!!

About Me

I am a unique little village of about 4000 interesting and beautiful people. I have over 2000 acres of woods you can explore, 50 shops you can get lost in, 15 different restaurants to feed you, a lovely little movie theater and I am located on about 2 miles of a 70 mile bike path they call the Little Miami Scenic Trail, they say my 2 miles are the prettiest of all!My namesake is a breathtaking golden spring that you can visit in the Glen Helen, they say it has healing properties...**~~~~**~~~~**~~~~** I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4~

Music:

I love all kinds of music, especially all of the music at Peach's Grill, The Emporium, The WEB Coffee house, and spontaneous street music. As well as music written by friends who used to live with me: MUSIC: Windblown-amazing up and comming local band of minors Zapp & Roger (computer Love is still a cool song!), Richie Furay, Asleep at The Wheel, Harry Partch, Mad River, Gregory Leroy Dewey, Cecil Taylor, Pop Wagner, Ian Buchanan, John Hammond, Jr., Jorma Kaukonen, Tucki Bailey, Patti Dallas, Nerak Roth Patterson, Ann Rabson, Magnolia Bolthead, Crazy Joe and the Mad River Outlaws, Steven Gregory, Dawn Cooksey, Eli Brothers, Ohio Corndaddys, Oh! So many to name!

Movies:

I love movies about interesting people and small towns. I especially like movies I'm in! Like "Blue Car" and "Dave Chapelle's Block Party" (I'm in so many scenes!!)and who could leave out "A Lion in the House" written, directed and filmed by my close friends Julia Reichart & Steve Bognar, that documentary is so poinant, it always makes me cry. Oh there are so many films and TV shows I love! Here are some of there creators, also friends and neighbors of mine. DRAMA: Meredith Dallas, Arthur W. Lithgow, Dave Chappelle (Who doesn't love Dave???), Ken Jenkins (From Scrubs! He's so funny!), John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun was the coolest!), Daniel Jenkins, Nancy Meckler, John Fleming (he's still here!!), Herb Gardner, John Korty, Victor Nuñez, Gerald Feil, Jim Klein (talented & a nice guy!!), Ed Radtke, Whitney Leblanc,

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV because there's so many other things to do, but I do like the Twighlight Zone, because my old buddy Rod Serling wrote it, I'm in one of those episodes too, do you know which one?? Oh and I loved the Chapelle Show, but I am biased, you know...

Books:

Wow! Too many to mention! I love all the books about me like "Yellow Springs" & "More Yellow Springs" by Irwin Inman. "1000 Strikes: T-Ball Yellow Springs Style" by Irwin Inman & Jimmy Chesire, "Two Hundred Years of Yellow Springs" The Yellow Springs News is responsible for that great history book. As well as all of Virginia Hamilton's writings, she was such a profound writer and a good friend. Oh! and "50 Greatest Art Towns" I bet you can guess why I like that one! and of course books by my other friends over the years: Authors:Ed Ward, Suzanne Clauser, Arnold Adoff, Earle Reynolds, Barbara Leonard Reynolds, Tim Reynolds, Ted Reynolds, Jessica Reynolds (So many Reynolds!!)

Heroes:

Heros? hmmm... that's hard! I have so many heros. Of Course Martin Luther King & Coretta Scott King, she lived here and went to Antioch you know. I'm having a memorial center built for Mrs. King.Other Heros: I always sorta liked Sante Fe New Mexico, it's artsy like me, Eugene Oregon has a real neat Yellow Springs' vibe, Belize is cool is you like to Travel, Key West too because even though she's so popular she hasn't gotten too big. Oh and Atlantis! For her mystery, though I'm glad I'm not her, if I was you couldn't come visit me!
