A newspaper in Ohio last year wrote, (and I’m not verbatim here) that if the entire earth were to be destoyed, only berea would need to survive to populate the Earth and maintain the cultural diversity of it. That says someting, as least I think that says something. This little hole-in-the-wall town has diversity enough that it is nvere boring, yet maintains the hown home feeling of a small community.
As a child, all I wanted to do was get out of this dump, now that I am grown, I have bought a home, had children and decided that there would be no other place that I would want my family to be than here.
I would stongly suggest a visit the Berea. There’s no place quite like it.
