Here are some highlights:
- There are 3400 residents in the village.
- Boo... street parking is pretty regulated
- They have a setup where residents can leave a copy of their home key in a lockbox at town hall in case you get locked out of your house or apartment. (?) That's kinda cool.
- Boo also...you have to put a special sticker on each trash pickup. Ah well.
- Hurrah - On sunday evenings in the summer, they have carrillon concerts in the bell tower park three blocks from our place. Lovely.
- They have a setup where you let the police know when you're heading out of town on vacation, and they'll swing and check on your place if you want. (It's like the Waltons or something!)
- They have town meetings that actually include a town crier in period costume. I'm going to feel like I live in Greenfield Village. ^_^
- The area of the village is .9 square miles, yet has 50 acres of parks and greens.
- It's about 15 minutes to the museum center in downtown Cincinnati, the botanical gardens, the zoo, etc.
- ANNNND, they just broke ground on an IKEA! It's kind of lame how excited I am about that.

Ooh, most of that sounds just wonderful! And a town crier too?
Nothing like that at our new place although it has its own list of novelties. Among them, we love the sound of church bells that ring mysteriously at 7:30 every morning and evening near our apartment.
