Quiet and Pretty

This place is very quiet and pretty. There is no flood wall, so there is an occasional flood in town. It's surrounded by rural farms. Lots of deer and tobacco and corn farmers. Not a good economy. No major fast food chains. Only one grocery store. Everyone knows everyone unless they are hermits, which is easy to accomplish in this town. Very dead. Feels like you're the only one around sometimes. Kind of depressing. People are mostly poor and there's not much to do unless you go to the neighboring West Union, Ohio or Maysville, Kentucky. Unless you're a farmer, doctor, business owner, teacher or retired, I wouldn't move here. Pretty darn bland. Not very diverse culturally. If there is something fun to do around here besides drive around the "Eat-N-Treat" dairy bar or drive down to the boat dock, I sure would like to know. Of course, one time back in 2000, I did attend a swing dance at a local restaurant. Fun events are few and far between in this town, though. Mostly desolate place, though. You can smoke in Blake's Pharmacy last time I checked! Ha!
