Pleasant Hill is one of those magical villages that has, generation after generation, produced some of the finest minds in all of the nation. Sadly, there have never been enough career opportunities in this tiny town and almost all of the young people have moved to other places. However, there has never been a heart born or raised in Pleasant Hill that doesn't long to return home. As it is now, Pleasant Hill is best suited as a retirement destination for those with roots in the area, for hunters and fishermen, and for those who want a safe, slow style of life.

With luck, this once thriving town will soon be rediscovered and it will have the future it so richly deserves.[read more...]
