Y.S. stroll, part 2

Bookstore, cinema and old houses - generally signs of culture.

Yellow Springs stroll

After breakfast we went for a stroll. The street fair done and over, we were able to properly appreciate downtown Yellow Springs, free of crowds. There was plenty to appreciate. At bottom, to the left, is the outside of Winds Cafe where we dined the night before.

Sunrise Cafe

 

We more or less got up at sunrise to have breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe. It was decent and the colorful murals reminded us that Yellow Springs - home to Antioch College - is as close to a "hippie town" as one will find in Ohio.

Winds Cafe

It certainly helped improve our Yellow Springs, OH experience when we were able to keep our dinner reservation at Winds Cafe and the restaurant proved to be quite cozy on a damp evening. I thought the food was good, especially the lasagna.

2nd impressions of Y.S.

 

Our second impressions of Yellow Springs, OH were a bit better due to the street festival ending, finding parking, and being able to walk what is essentially a walkable downtown.

Yellow Springs, OH

Our troubling first impression of Yellow Springs, OH had to do with 1) the unexpected street festival and the lack of parking that caused 2) the rain 3) our unglamorous lodging, which we realized was probably a direct result of the street festival.
