A few thoughts on Cooperstown and a "sense of
place"
Everytime
we visit Cooperstown, N.Y., it is like going home. The irony is, we
have never lived in Cooperstown.
Authenticity
never grows old, and that is why being in Cooperstown makes us feel
right at home. Walking down the tree-lined, toy village-like Main
Street, gazing at pristine Otsego Lake from a relaxing wooden bench,
chatting with friendly residents and marveling at the presence of their
proud, old homes lends a welcome sense of place from a previous
generation.
When
one is intune with something that is special, there is no need to
constantly be on the run. No big city, and its constituents of high
rises, malls, bars, nightclubs, manufactured housing developments and
preoccupation with cell phones, laptops and Palm Pilots could ever
match the peace of a village that happily rises with the vibrant, daily
country sunrise. Cooperstown is just that place, a village where the
big sky allows you to see beyond just buildings and other distractions,
thus, creating a clear vision for your own personal dreams.
It is
always sad leaving a place you love, but knowing it is always there
makes one glad to return to one's own community and start looking
forward to returning home again.
