A good porch sit requires three things: a chair that has opinions, a beverage, and at least one vehicle to wave at.

Mechanicsburg Main Street scores high for foot traffic (Simple Coffee cups, Frosty’s smell) and low for privacy.

St. Paris Springfield Street scores high for boutique browsing between sits.

Monument Square, Urbana scores high for people-watching and medium for exhaust.

Township roads toward Cable / Rosewood score high for sunsets and medium for bugs.

Anywhere with a ceiling fan is automatically in the top tier.

Send your porch photo to the newsroom. We will judge kindly.
