Chagrin Falls, BW's Childhood Town.
My cousin lives in Chagrin Falls a few blocks north of the town center and my wife and I go see them any chance we get from 900 miles away. The town, the nature, everything about it seems to fit BW's depiction of Calvin's childhood and his adventures.
​
I didn't even learn BW grew up there until our second visit when the bookstore in town had such a good collection of his work. When the worker told me, I was blown away. Calvin and Hobbes was a massive part of my childhood and it felt like I had accidentally made a pilgrimage to pay homage, lol.
​
If you get the chance, go see the town. It's worth it.
