How long have you lived in Oxford? 25 years
Five things you love about living in Oxford:
1. Square Books–in particular, buying a book I’ve been anticipating and stepping outside to sink into a seat on the balcony so I can start reading ASAP.
2. The Whirlpool Trails (South Campus Rail Trail). I’m out there every Sunday. It’s the only place in Oxford where one can run while in the shade (mostly) on a path that’s not asphalt. I hope the city protects it from developers!
3. City Grocery bar, especially the far corner on a Thursday afternoon when a bunch of regulars show up and chat a while.
4. The Grove–though for me I appreciate it most not while tailgating but while cutting across campus and relishing this deep green calming center of a busy workday.
5. Thacker Mountain Radio. I love the musical guests, the literary readings, and the unique offering of a live show that’s open to all and that one can only find in Oxford.
