Today I and some classmates walked down the main street of Cooperstown and looked through shops and restaurants. It is a very nice town. It definitely has a small town feeling to it as you walk down the street. One lady in a store even said her dad saw us and said, “Hey look there are 
college students here this weekend!” Everybody knows everybody here in the town. It is just like how it is portrayed in movies with small towns like Radio.
As we walked from shop to shop we realized everybody in this town loves baseball. Store owners were reminiscing about the game that took place last night. We had conversations with some of them about plays from the game. They are all very friendly people and understand that we are all in awe of the memorabilia that is here to look at. All of the shops are very nice as they all have the typical baseball memorabilia such as hats, shirts, jerseys, trading cards and baseballs, but every shop is also unique in its own way. Every shop has different baseballs signed by players, signed jerseys or signed pictures. Each artifact is unique and most are very expensive.
There is also a beautiful lake right down the street from the Hall of Fame. Outside of the main street with the shops it is mostly residential housing. The main street has a weird feature that all of us are baffled by. There is a flag post in the middle of the street that is in the middle of an intersection. It is very odd but it makes for a great centerpiece for a picture of the street.
