RBS is the only other town in Macon County, about 10 miles thataway. The population is 1215 1213 souls at last count.
I've been here over 8 years and I've been to RBS maybe a half dozen times, and every one of those were for dump runs because that's where the County transfer station is. Matter of fact, I was there yesterday for just that reason. Other than that, I've got no business there.
Seems like a nice enough little town, though. Its claim to fame is an abundance of (you guessed it) hot mineral springs in the area that used to draw in the tourists from all over during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The different baths supposedly had different medicinal values. There's still a couple of the old hotels still operating there, the best known one being the Donahoe Hotel.
The only other thing it's known for is its entire police force, all 4 or 5 of them, quitting en masse every so often.
