Yellow Springs
A small town in Ohio who residents are so in love with how "tolerant" they are, that they don't realize just how intolerant they are of anyone who doesn't share their worldview. Anything that could potentially be cool about the town is ruined by the residents.
For example, one may think that going on a guided hike in Glen Helen would be a fun time. However, such a hike is infected by the "young men with a cause" who show up for it, and spend the entire hike talking about their cause to each other and bragging about what they have done for their cause.
Also, a potentially cool store like Dark Star comics is ruined by the million buttons and bumper stickers that one has to deal with with that contain angry and hateful slogans towards anyone who doesn't share the leftist political views of the typical yellow springs resident.
Other examples include the local head shop being filled with "You steal you suck" signs and etc etc etc.
Basically, it's a town that claims to embrace diversity and hate fundamentalism, but in all actually it's a homogeneous
fundamentalist cesspool for the self-appointed "prophets" of the far left.
In conclusion, you'll hear more preaching after spending 30 minutes in Yellow Springs then you'll hear from a listening to a years worth of sermons at church.

Boy, Glen Helen would be an awesome place to hike if it wasn't in Yellow Springs. Actually, almost anything in Yellow Springs would be an awesome place if it wasn't in Yellow Springs.
