Always good to hear too of a town that is re-vitalizing its downtown area. Lots of history there I am sure!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-29127982970850046182015-07-06T22:26:17.856-04:002015-07-06T22:26:17.856-04:00Nothing like Small Town, USA!

It seems like Ohio, Ashland, is a wonderful community and can serve as a model to other cities its size across America that have suffered economic setbacks and are struggling to bounce back. Some of my favorite early memories are of attending concerts in the park with my family, sitting on a blanket on the grass in front of a band shell and listening to an orchestra play. This past week Mrs. Shady and I upheld a tradition and watched the 5 hour movie Gettysburg, recalling the Civil War battle that took place July 1, 2 and 3, 1863, and marked the turning point of the War.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, dear friend YaYa!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-90217235950308249962015-07-06T07:22:24.143-04:002015-07-06T07:22:24.143-04:00I'm right there with you Yaya.
