When you are in the middle of something it is very tough to take a step back and gain perspective. This happens with Ashland, especially when you grow up here. Let's see . . .
It's a beautiful town; quaint, friendly, nice. Many people describe it so, yet when you have spent your whole life here that doesn't matter too much. Before I moved away from Ashland I already knew that it was all of that and more, yet I didn't experience it so much anymore.
Moving away and then coming back reinforced it for me, though. Ashland really is friendly. It really is nice. Quaint . . . well, a lot of things are quaint and that's perfectly fine, but regardless of quaintness, Ashland has a lot going for it.
People smile. That says a lot!
