THE VILLAGETOWN; AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME...

 THE VILLAGETOWN; AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME...

What if you could relocate your small/medium business to a timeless, beautiful and authentic village among villages with a total population of around 10,000 where:

• The children can play together safely because there is no automobile traffic
• Commuting away from home is not necessary
• The elders live in safety and dignity among people of all ages
• Resources are managed sustainably, and planning is done for seven generations
• You are part of a diversity of talent
• Design rather than rules help people get along without telling them how to live
• We create and sustain a complete community with a self-supporting local economy that enables its citizens, youth and visitors to enjoy a good life, understood as the social pursuits of conviviality, Citizenship, Artistic, Intellectual and Spiritual growth 

And you could move to a home that was:

• At least as roomy as your current house or apartment, but less expensive to keep;
• Fireproof, earthquake-proof, and virtually soundproof;
• Within walking distance of: 

• Your work
• Schools and university
• Shopping, small businesses and a locally owned bank
• Live theater, concerts, artists and art displays
• Unique, locally owned restaurants and cafes serving well-prepared, slow food
• Plazas where friends can gather
• Preventive health care, urgent care and elder care
• Athletic, equestrian and festival fields
• Parks, gardens, forests, meadows and wildlife
• A fully equipped indoor athletic complex
• Fresh, natural, locally grown food
• Locally owned research and manufacturing facilities
• Diverse local professional services

If a place like this in the Midwest appeals to you, contact me.  I would like to hear from you, especially if you are a small/medium business owner in the St. Louis, St. Charles, or WestPlex area.  For more details on the VillageTown concept (which I did not develop), go to villagetowns.net.
