The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway hosted its Festival of Steam last weekend. The magic of the steam engine returned to our Valley, as the leaves were just beginning to change. Picture the video below with leaves touched with orange, red and yellow, and the sky a brilliant blue, and you are here this day, in the Village of Peninsula, Ohio.
This week’s abbreviated My Town Monday is a prelude to next week’s Fall in my Valley (this week’s events, including a visit to the orthopedic surgeon, precluded a more extensive post). The Village of Peninsula, Ohio, population 602, gently resisting change since 1832.
As always, My Town Monday, comes to a website near you via the incomparable Travis Erwin. Check out what he has to say this week, and see what other MTM participants have to say about their towns.

Creativity and education are subjects that are close to my heart. Folks often tell me that they are not creative, that they wish they were so. And yet, these are people who are parents—what better manifestation of creativity that our children? And our children that are kind, compassionate world citizens are testaments to our paths.
These are people who write, or who work with people or who live their daily lives with their humanness intact. Manifestations of creativity abound. We just need to know how to see them.
Sir Ken Robinson is an interesting man. Listen to what he has to say, and let me know what you think.
