Not a bad little town - 2/5/2009
Having lived in and around Polk most of my life, I might be a little biased but Polk is a nice small town, roughly 15 miles in any direction from any towns of significant size. The town doesn't have the things it once did, partly because a lot of people have moved from town or moved to outlying areas because of a desire to have a more "country" setting for their home than living within the corporation limits of the town. During the years I grew up there, the town had three stores (Neal's Market, Polk Country Store, and a pool-hall that later became Smetzer's Hardware), post office, bank, school, and volunteer fire station. That was in the early 1970's. Since then, the post office is still there but the old Polk Country Store is now a residence beside what used to be the Polk State Bank (which later became a branch of First National Bank of Ashland and then National City Bank of Ashland and is now unused as far as I know). What was once Neal's Market is now the Polk Country Store.
