Plain Folk Café, Ohio SR 132

How many times have you traveled down a two-lane highway, passing through a small town, and come upon a place on the side of the road that looks so inviting? You stop, or maybe pass by saying, โ€˜Iโ€™ll stop next time.โ€™

The Plain Folk Cafรฉ in Pleasant Plain, Ohio, is one of those places. Giving rebirth to the two-room school house, built in 1913, the cafรฉ serves up coffee, meals and music.

The walls, lined with album covers and musical venues, remind one of the former days when patrons wore tie-dyed shirts and drove VW vans. Itโ€™s a little bit of nostalgia, and a little bit modern with the free wifi. About half of those album covers are very familiar, for they reside at my home protecting the vinyl LPs inside.

After passing by so many times, thinking I will stop next time, today was the day I stopped. Iโ€™m glad I did. Iโ€™ll be back.

When youโ€™re traveling home after some time away, there is a sense of being close when you enter the state where you reside.

The day was just too beautiful to not be in it. So, I rolled out my photography utility vehicle and wandered the countryside.
