<p>I would absolutely recommend stopping in to Ginko Gallery. In front, there’s a boutique of locally-crafted art. In the middle, there are work spaces for local artisans. In the very back is the work space of Liz Burgess, owner/artist/Oberlin College alumna/cat whisperer. In her space, Liz fosters abandoned kittens as part of a local nonprofit, and she welcomes anyone to come help socialize the kittens. (Specifically, this means petting, holding, and playing nicely with them.)</p>
<p>Ginko is representative of Oberlin in many different ways (college and town), and Liz is happy to talk to anyone about Oberlin.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there are also self-guided walking tours available in a box outside Admissions. Or you could PM me (a recent alum wrapping up my one-year appointment as a staff member) for a meet-up.</p>
