With an official population of just over that of a modern day hamlet, it's easy to see why anyone not form the area would pass up on perhaps one of the best small towns in America!
Like a mass approaching the event horizon of a singularity, from the outside world Yellow Springs looks as though it came to a standstill some while ago, or at the very least slowed way down! Because of its mastery over time dilation and founding as the point example of utopian society, Yellow Springs has managed to remain an unchanging point of convergence for Artists, Poets, Barefoot Hippies, and Nature Loversalike!
== Getting In ==
There are naturally many roads that lead into and out of Yellow Springs, none of which are interstates. If however you are traveling by interstate, the best way to get in is to get to by I-675 and take taking the exit for Dayton Yellow Springs Rd (#20) There is a newly commercialized shopping center just off the exit, with lots of traffic. From here I have had much success finding a ride into Yellow Springs, as it's only 10 or so miles down the road heading East.
I-675 connects I-70 (EW North of Dayton) and I-75 (NS West of Dayton), so if you're heading on either of those towards Dayton it's easy to make the jump to I-675 and follow the above.
If you, however, interstates just aren're t your bag, there are plenty of country roads crisscrossing in one of every conceivable direction between the many small towns that surround surrounding Dayton. If you just happened into one these towns, ie. Troy, Piqua, Tipp City, New Carlisle, etc... I have found it very easy to stand on an exit road heading in the general direction of Yellow Springs and find a ride at least to the next town (1 town closer to YS!) then repeat.
