Long ago, someone noticed a spring surrounded by large groves.

So simple.

So fundamental.

Maybe even a bit ridiculous.

Really, we’re going to name the town Spring Grove?

Some things just seem obvious, and yet, they also seem ridiculous.

Live, before you die.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it!
