Nelligen is one of those places that almost wishes not to be noticed. It invites passersby to take a Sunday afternoon nap with it.
It has a Mechanic's Hall that keeps one eye open just long enough to give tourists a chance to buy a few trinkets.
Trinkets such as a mug from the Sydney 2000 Olympics for just 10 cents. Selling something for 10 cents these days is like saying, "We want you to have this as a gift from us but we don't want you to feel bad about it, so give us a coin you forgot you had."
And I almost forgot that today Padma is doing volunteer work at the Mechanic's [sic] Hall which was built back in the days when Nelligen still had a mechanic. Just the one!
Some things change and some things stay the same: today Nelligen no longer has a mechanic but its burghers still misplace the apostrophe! ☺
