Chagrin Falls

entry picture

A town in Ohio, suburb of Cleveland,

takes its name from the river

that runs through its heart.

 

The town and its waterfalls

are referenced in a song

by Canadian rock band

The Tragically Hip.

 

I’ve never been there,

and I guess I never will.

Which is a matter of some regret. 

 

Give half a chance

I’m sure I would have loitered

in the Fireside Book Shop,

with its three floors of books.

Thanks, Graham. Just one of those spots I will never get to - even less chance of doing so these days. But it got me dreaming about the place, and in particular, the bookstore.

Greg, I like the way that you avoid using the 'c' word in V3 to illustrate the title. Clever. I wonder how many of these towns (Malice comes to mind) are there, names after emotions and the like?

Great news about the bookstore, JD! I must check out the song. I saw the name on a list of WOL users in the first few hours of February, and thought how wonderful it was.
