Shay Bardwell - Corydon

Shay Bardwell
March 16, 2011

            Corydon is so great because there is nothing.  No one is around and when they are everyone seems happy to see each other. It seems that everyone has grown up together and no one leaves.  You learn everyone’s face because there isn’t that many around. I love being able to walk across the street without having to worry that some woman late for her desk job runs the light. Here you sit on your porch and only five cars could go by in a whole day instead of 1,000 cars by the hour.
            In the night, you can see stars and the next town's lights 30 miles away.  The crickets chirp and the frogs make their sounds.  The wind really blows here not like in the city where the buildings block it out. Corydon isn’t so bad when you enjoy the little things that make life simple.  For instance, the nothingness that can make you bored can suddenly become a mudslinging fight in a cornfield or a snowboarding adventure in the winter.
