Ahhhh, awesome! I’m so glad to hear this! Everyone making an effort to help out on a community level says more about a town than the amenities it has, IMHO. I’m so glad that there’s a library…a good library can be life-changing (I know it was for me).

We don’t do much “big shopping” since we tend to buy in bulk and grow/raise a lot of our own food. And public transportation isn’t a huge deal for us…we’re a one-car/two-motorcycles/two e-bikes family, and I WFH full-time.

And I’m SO glad to hear there’s a good arts scene! I’m a printmaker, former college art professor, and I used to own/run an art gallery and community workshop space in Atlanta. I’d love to bring something like that to life again wherever we finally put down permanent roots. The arts infrastructure in Randolph is so good that they don’t need me, lol (which is awesome in its own way).

Where do you work, if you don’t mind my asking? We’re going to see this property in Newbury tomorrow afternoon and maybe we can swing by where you work and say hi if you’ll be there!
