  • The 2022-23 Guide to Yellow Springs

    By YS News StaffOctober 13, 2022

    “The View from Yellow Springs” is (yet another) deliberate reworking of the famous and oft-imitated, oft-parodied March 29, 1976 New Yorker magazine cover by Saul Steinberg, depicting a New Yorker’s view of the world from Ninth Avenue. While the original was meant to poke gentle fun at New Yorkers’ perception of their city as the center of the world, this cover is meant to convey the disproportionate influence that the small town of Yellow Springs has had on the world at large — from live-saving inventions to life-changing gains in social justice, to groundbreaking cultural contributions.

    With the theme of “Contributions, Big and Small,” this year’s Guide to Yellow Springs shines a light on the revolutionary inventions, pioneering patents and novel ideas that originated within the 2.7 square miles of the village.
