There's a place in Mercer County, Kentucky, a bit southwest of Lexington, that keeps drawing me back. Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill is a historic old religious commune that dates back to the early 1800s,

Barring other obligations, most of my Saturday mornings during the warmer months are spent at the South End Community Market in Iroquois Park. The market is a f
