The charming idiosyncrasies mostly involve goods at the side of the road. You will be hard pressed to drive our way and not find a garage sale. One weekend in June, the area has a 200 mile garage sale. Everyone has stuff out. It's kind of odd; charming but odd.
The benefit of this peculiarity is the ability of rid ourselves of items that are no longer useful, have no value at home, we have no ability to transport and we have nowhere to dispose of it. For example, this storage unit.

It may look handy but it's kind of gross. It came with the cottage and I could never really get it clean. The wood was rough and for me, that's like fingernails down chalkboard. So out to the side of the road it went. Paul set his timer. 90 minutes, it was GONE. Problem solved. And it was replaced with a cool, nicely built storage unit. No rough wood for me.
If you drive up this way and you see stuff sitting at the side of the road, take it. It's yours. Unless it has a price on it. Then pay for it.
And should you be inclined to pop in for a visit, you will find us here:
