Then again, the county I live in in NC is a blue county in a red state, so I guess there can be pockets of progressive folks just about anywhere!

I've never heard of Yellow Springs -- it sounds neat. Is that where you live, Jennifer?

Emily,
Yellow Springs is where my not so local bike shop is located. It is indeed an artsy, quirky town. I live about 20 miles south west of Yellow Springs, in a city which is unfortunately very conservative. *sigh*
