I admit it... I started out with giggles about Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not, but as i wandered around the town, I set those aside and just absorbed what stood out to be a small town that just oozed charm and homey-ness.

By coming in the back roads, we were welcomed to town with a sign that was a bit more quaint.	Ripley, amongst other things, is the county seat of Jackson County - hence the pretty building.	One of the shopping areas, but as we found soon enough, downtown is deceptively big.
There were homes here of all sizes and types, but this one rather appealed to me.	Ripley High School is quite roomy, and just across from Ripley Middle School.	Not the only Biscuit World, but the only one conveniently located just down from the high school.
