If you want to try local food, then Purple Monkey is the place for you. This is a small town pizza shop that serves everything from subs to ice cream to pizza. You can eat in or take out. Their hawaiian pizza is highly recommended and don't forget to ask for extra cheese!

The South Charleston Pool is a local summer staple for those who live in the area. It is a great place to spend a day with the kids or cool off after a long day at work. It is an outdoor pool and only stays open during the summer months.

John Bryant is a place near and dear to my family. This state park is host to many hiking trails, a playground, volleyball court, basketball court, and cook out areas (including picnic tables and grills). We love to have family cookouts here throughout the year and often take our dogs hiking on the trails.

Young's is an all-time favorite of all in Clark County and the surrounding areas. Young's is a family owned farm, petting zoo, and dining experience. They make their ice-cream using milk from their onsite cows, which you can meet. Depending on the time of year, you can pick pumpkins, enjoy carnival rides and corn mazes, or cut down your own Christmas tree. We particularly love their two mini-golf courses, which are a great way to spend a summer day.

Neighborhoods

Yellow Springs is a culturally prosperous town not far from our home. There are many local artists and shops that are great to visit on the weekend. They have a farmer's market early on Saturday mornings where you can find everything from fresh produce to honey and flowers. The Glenn located around the town is great for hiking.
