Pendleton County, Where the hardware store, the bank and the courthouse are all on the same street. Where a filling station has a bakery, and the pepperoni rolls are the reason you stopped. Where maple syrup runs faster than the handyman, and more reliably too. Where Mass is at noon on Sunday, and that is the whole schedule. Where 696 square miles are shared between about six thousand people. Where the iPhone only really became a thing in 2025. Where the lime company has been working the Germany Valley stone for over fifty years. Where the grocery still traces back to the Franklin IGA Foodliner of 1970. Where there is no hospital, and everyone knows exactly how long it takes to get to Petersburg. Where a bank chartered in 1852 keeps a branch on Main Street. Bowers Garage, who will be at the accident just before the fire department. Where one of the campgrounds costs nothing and asks nothing of you either.
