I should have read further down--Clifton is close to Yellow Springs. I'm lacking in suggestions for there. But it's sooooo close. I should email you my phone number, if time allowed for us to pop over for a short visit and hello.

Nope, Clifton the neighborhood of Cincinnati. But we'll be in Chillicothe the 23rd-25th - which side of the city are you on? I think it's about an hour and a half from the airport. But are you in any condition to be popping down?
