Actually, that pretty much sums up my town. And it’s Slow-Motion Goshen. Well, Goshen has pretty much everything in that poem except for the water and ferries and junk like that. Very nice!

It was good growing up in a small town. And although it may be nicknamed Slow Motion Goshen by the teens and 20-somethings who find it boring, it is a pretty place.

Not bad, as they say, for a guy from the sleepy county seat that some wiseacres call Slow-Motion Goshen.
