When we lived in our younger shells, we had a place in Millfield, Ohio, not far from Athens. We were kind of in college but kind of not. It was a slow life. On Saturday nights, we watched the Porter Wagonner show (with Dolly Parton before she was Dolly Parton and when Porter started sporting those Nudie jackets), played a lot of John Prine records, and drove a Corvair without a gas pedal (we just used a cord tied to the gas line under the car and tugged on it to go). We went back last weekend for a graduation and took and picture or two like this classic run-down building, which has been there a long time. We also drove down to the site of the 1930 Millfield Mine disaster when 80 men died one cold day at the Sunday mine. Millfield hasn't changed much but then neither have we. We could have move right back in and been very happy.
