Week 13: Philo!

I love small town America - let's just establish that right now. I really love it.  And so, I decided to bike to Philo. Fortunately, I had HUGE tailwinds and got a ride back from a classmate. It's kind of cheating, and I'm totally okay with it. :)

The streets are named after presidents. The location of the town is the intersection of Route 130 and the railroad tracks. These are already things I knew because I'm such a small town nerd. I don't even live in one; I'm just going to go ahead and blame this all on my love for bicycling.

The town has expanded quite a bit. There are several public high schools: Unity High, and a private school too. As the town has grown, houses have become more modern farther out, and the churches have grown enough for the presence of a private high school.

This was a fun day! See below for more details.

Stereotypical bike shot - Casey's in the background. This defines the town: it's ability to have a successful Casey's General Store.

Bike-bus selfie! Such a fun class!

Here's the "McDonald's-style post office." Hinders calls it that because people just come in and grab what they need. It's a 70's-style storefront, if I recall correctly.

Here's the AMAZING Philo Tavern. The food was so good. Thank you so much, Professor Hinders!
