Your posting about the clock tower makes me want to stop by to hear the tower bells next time we are visiting our friends in Greene, NY. I remember how surprised I was the first time we were visiting our friends in Greene and I heard their clock tower. I'd forgotten such things existed in the great small towns of America.
Thanks Where2!
I think the hour strike on that large bell is almost magical. When I first heard it I thought it was too slow but it has a special charm to it that you just can't describe.
If you're going to be in the area drop me an email and I'll give you my number.
