ysabetwordsmithThese are the setting notes for "Clothes Worth Repairing."
Maple Park Apartments has studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units. First-floor units are ADA accessible or adaptable and feature fully accessible access routes. Second and third floors have stairs and elevators, so they are also accessible, but they are less convenient and don't have the ADA floorplans for mobility impairments. However, any apartment can be modified for other disabilities such as Deaf or blind accommodations.
The entrance includes access to an underground parking garage.
Community gardens grow near the parking lot. There are more in back too. They include raised beds and in-ground plantings along with picnic tables and benches. Some raised beds have roll-under space for ADA accessibility. There are plans for raised beds along with other ideas for accessible gardens.
The back yard has a one-acre activity area that includes a playground with an accessible wooden climbing structure, a lawn for free play, a border of trees and bushes, and a perimeter trail that's mostly hidden under the maples and evergreens.
The climbing structure includes two small playhouses and one large playhouse, three tube slides and one slope slide, an ADA station, two billy goat bridges with binoculars, a crawl tunnel, a crow's nest with binoculars, two extended bubble panels, four grab-n-go bars, three mirrors, a learning center, a play lemonade stand, a rock wall, four ship's wheels, a tic-tac-toe panel, and other attractions.

Emerald Mountain Glen is an intentional community just outside of Rutledge. It started as a hippie commune in 1961. The founders bought the core site which included a 3-acre lot with an old farmhouse and a large farm garage that was soon converted to function space for the commune and its Community Supported Agriculture. In 1962, they build a solar farmhouse on the far site of the lot. They developed most of the yard as a permaculture homestead. Later they built a cottage adjacent to the old farmhouse. Over time, they acquired more land around the original core, adding more homes and agriculture. Currently people from Emerald Mountain Glen own several businesses in Rutledge as well as the ones run out of the community itself.
The retrofit garage has the Community-Supported Agriculture with seedlings and distribution toward the front. On the right it has space for meetings and classes. The back left has a large screened covered porch. The kiosk and the welcome area are just outside the porch toward the front of the building.
The small notch atop the building has a working dovecote for pigeons. The right side has meeting and craft space. The upper story is craft space. The wreath is hanging over the old hay doors. Behind those doors, there is now a glass window, but it leaks heat like crazy so the hay doors are usually closed in winter.
Inside, the first floor has a triple sink as a washing station for produce.
The Community-Supported Agriculture business has a distribution area with tables and chalkboards.
Coming into season for May:
Asparagus*
Greens*
Parsnips
Radishes*
Rhubarb*
Scallions*
Spinach*
A Family Share provides enough produce to feed 4 omnivorous or 2 herbivorous people for a week. (A Couple Share provides enough for 2 omnivores or 1 herbivore. A Solo Share provides enough for 1 omnivore, or 2+ people who want to eat fresh produce several days a week.)
Radishes (roots and tops), red lettuce, collards, bok choy, rhubarb stalks, green lettuce, white turnips (roots and tops), red beets (roots and tops), baby spinach
This large area has seedlings for sale in spring and early summer, occasionally other times as different things come into season for division or planting.
The retrofit garage has three bathrooms. The multiuser bathrooms have similar layouts. The men's room has 2 stalls, 2 urinals, and a double sink. The women's room has 2 stalls, a baby changing station, and a double sink. The dottie has a sink, a toilet (not visible from this angle), and a bathtub with a shower.
The meeting and class space is a big open area with couches, tables and chairs.
The screen porch is surrounded on three sides with floor-to-ceiling screens, crammed with bohemian decor including various seating options.
Upstairs, the sewing room faces the front of the retrofit garage; the large window has the old hay doors that can close over the glass to protect from heat loss. The door on the left leads to low attic storage space, and there's a matching one on the right not visible from this angle. The table under the window is a T with a second sewing station farther right beyond the two middle tables forming the base of the T-shape.
Fabric storage includes square wooden boxes repurposed as shelves.
The craft desk for yarn is surrounded by yarn storage on walls and shelves.
This room holds craft supplies and books. The stairs come up near here.
The craft desk for dollmaking includes tools, supplies, and reference books.
The papercraft and ribbon desk includes storage for ribbons, stamps, pens, and other supplies.
This craft desk supports beading, jewelry, and other small metalwork. It has a whole rack for bead storage.
This studio for drawing and painting lies above part of the screened porch.
