That's no village. That's a scout camp.
Back in the sixties, I was driving to Daytona Beach from Michigan.
They were still building the interstates, and in Tennessee I hit a
stretch where I'd be on new interstate for 20 miles, then off on a state
road for 10, back and forth like that for, as I recall, most of
Tennessee. At one point, waaaay out in the back woods, I came over a
rise and saw down the hill in front of me three or four buildings next
to the road...and on my right was a hand-painted sign that said: Welcome
To Stupidville Pop. 7"
