The Town Behind the Land of the Outlaw Amish: Photos by James Neighbors

My friend and fellow actor James Neighbors has taken these remarkable photos of the quaint little place I live in. He even took one of me writing...

We have a little square:

with a fountain...

and statues:

We have frescoes and reliefs:

and not only  ivy covered houses:

but a log cabin:

Jesse James hid out not in the cabin, as might be expected, but in a cave just up the road:

There is another fountain

atop a scenic and historic hill. It has a panoramic vista:

The vista is in front of this amazing auditorium, (I stage managed a play Jim was in here):

We have a marvelous clock that chimes:

and an antique Railpark, (with baggage unclaimed for a century), 

where I sang songs and read The Elves and  the Shoemaker for children,

including not Amish but Mennonites, at Christmas time:

The square is filled with cute little shops and another chiming clock:

and one uber-uber cool hip store:

Sometimes vicious storms attack us:

Sometimes we drink coffee:

sometimes we find ourselves pastry-less:

I am occasionally caught writing in public:

...and magnolias. We have lots of magnolias.
