"Back in my little town"

Note: I have not yet purchased anything from this company yet, but I can't seem to resist posting about this charming, Rhode Island-based ceramic village manufacturer.

MyLittleTown features regional and recognizable creations for village displays.

My Little Town offers limited edition and hand painted buildings of New England Icons.

Some examples of product include:

Trademarks and well known icons such as Denny's, Dunkin' Donuts, White Castle Hamburgers and Benny's Home & Auto, Autocrat Coffee, Haven Bros., Del's Lemonade Stand, and the Roger Williams Park Zoo gate. They also have many buildings which are local to Rhode Island. They also produce a set of christmas ornaments, some of which are a miniature version of their buildings.

Prices seem to range from $49 to $89 (for the Dunkin' Donuts). I have not yet determined if there is an aftermarket. I'll research Ebay and such.

Now I can't get the song "My Little Town" out of my head.

Words & music by Paul Simon:

"In my little town
I grew up believ--ing
God keeps His eye on us all
And He used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall
My little town

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze

And after it rains
There's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagin-ation they lack
Everything's the same
Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

In my little town
I never meant nothin'
I was just my fathers son
Saving my money
Dreaming of glory
Twitching like a finger
On the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

Repeat and fade:
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town"
