Akron, Ohio

Submitted by Sara

It has one of the best local music scenes.

Akron, Ohio

Submitted by Tyler Craig

Akron is the home of the 1st Hamburger (though it is still in debate with some punks from Texas). It's close to alot of stuff: Cedar Point, the amusement park with the most record breaking roller-coasters; Cleveland, US' poorest city full of fun little places; Cuyahoga National Park, one of the largest and most visited parks; and finally, the Akron Art museum which open to the public on July 17th and has been recognized as one of the most important architectural designs in the world for this year. That's all. It's a fun little place.

PS- Craig Tyler just entered something below. His name is mine reversed! No way! (I hold no relation to him).

Alliance, Ohio

Submitted by Abbie

I grew up just outside of this small town in North Eastern Ohio. Its home of the Carnation. They have a great Carnation festivial in August just before the big Hall of Fame activitys in Canton. I grew up on a farm in Marlboro Twship and have many great memorys. If you get a chance take a drive down into southern Ohio into holmes county where there you will find a lot of amish great cooking and some nice senic areas!

Dayton, Ohio

Submitted by Blondie

Dayton is beautiful at night. Theres a little tavern in Oregan District called the Oregan Express. You can sit up top of it at night and watch the trains go by. You can see all the Dayton night lites and watch people act crazy as they bar hop down the streets of Oregan. I would suggest this to vacationers or passbyers. It can really be a great place if you can get past all of the panhandlers on the courners!

Findlay, Ohio

Submitted by Stephanie

I grew up in Findlay and lived there until I was 11. It's the county seat of Hancock County. It's a mix between the old and the new: the downtown area is reminiscent of times long ago, and yet is experience large modern growth. I know Ohio is stereotyped as flat and boring, but it's really gorgeous and friendly. Findlay still has that small town feeling. The song "Down by the Old Mill Stream" was composed by the shores of the Blanchard River (which flows through Findlay) by Tell Teller; you can still see his house today. There's an old fasioned ice cream parlor called Deutse's that is absolutely amazing.

FINDLAY, Ohio

Submitted by ROB ANDERSON

I LIVED IN FINDLAY FROM 1976 THRU 1981. STEPHANIE IS RIGHT ON THE MARK...WHAT A GREAT LITTLE TOWN ALSO KNOWN AS "FLAG CITY". A COUPLE OTHER MEMORABLE ITEMS, PRESIDENT GERALD FORD VISITED HERE, IT IS THE HOME OF COOPER AND HERCULES TIRE AND RUBBER, IT ONCE WAS HOME TO MARATHON OIL BEFORE BEING PURCHASED BU US STEEL. AT THE END OF THE 1800'S THE LARGEST KNOWN NATUAL GAS AND OIL RESERVES WERE DISCOVERED UNDER FINDLAY LEADING TO A SIGN THAT WELCOMED VISITOR STATING "OUR WOMEN DON'T CHOP WOOD" BECAUSE MANY HOMES HAD GAS SERVICE LONG BEFORE MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. NFL SUPERBOWL QUARTERBACK BEN ROTHLESBERGER IS FROM FINDLAY. THE UNIVERSITY OF FINDLAY IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS HAVING THE BEST COLLEGIATE WESTERN AND ENGLISH EQUESTRIAN PROGRAMS IN THE NATION. LASTLY, IT ALSO WIDELY STATED THAT DAVE THOMAS (OF WENDY'S FAME) WORKED AT A RESTAURANT IN FINDLAY NAMED "WILSON'S" THAT TO THIS DAY SELLS SQUARE BURGERS, THICK CUT FRIES, AND THICK FROSTY DESERTS...COINCIDENCE, I DON'T THINK SO!

Toledo, Ohio

Submitted by Tim Hatch

Home of some famous people including Jamie Farr and Danny Thomas too name few. We're also known for our Famous Restraunt Tony Packo's which serves a great Hungarian Hot Dog. We have many things to keep you occupied, such as the Mud Hens Baseball Team, which is affliated with the Detroit Tigers, and the Metroparks. On Friday's we have a get together by the Maumee River to celebrate the Weekend, it's called Rally by the River, which features some local bands and even some nationally known bands.
Our history is that of Making Glass, thus it was once known as the Glass Capital of the World, and also for the World Famous Jeep. The Liberty was being made in parts of the orginal 100 + year old Plant, which Diamler Chrysler is going to tear down in the coming year, to make way for something else. Favorite things about Town are going to the Baseball games and hanging out with friends and family. We are just a short drive down US 23 or I-75, so come down vist a bit and see how things are here. We're friendly people and I would be glad to have you stay with me.
