Simply awesome!

Any idea as to which 16 counties will be included? Will it include the Youngstown, Sandusky, or Mansfield areas?

Not a bad idea at all! Great presentation :)

ACH could be sold, could be idled By ANNIE ZELM | Thursday April 10 2008, 11:32am http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2008/04/10/front/676097.txt MARGARETTA TWP - When it comes to the future of hundreds of workers, uncertainty seems to exist on an industrial scale. Automotive Component Holdings, Erie County's largest industrial employer, may be forced to shut down operations at its Sandusky plant if the plant is not purchased soon, a spokeswoman said.

I guess they may need to change their county flag:

Retro!

Driveway dispute a hurdle for Maui Sands By ANNIE ZELM | Friday April 04 2008, 11:18am http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2008/04/04/front/669164.txt PERKINS TWP - A resort along U.S. 250 faces a few roadblocks in its final stages ofconstruction, but a spokeswoman said it still aims to open in mid-May. In a letter dated March 28, atraffic planning engineer from the Ohio Department of Transportation informed the owner of the Maui Sands Resort the new development violates the State Highway Access Management Manual.

^Great point; and I hardly believe that anyone would think of taking I-70 as an alternate to I-80 (as the article suggests) considering the two highways have distance of 100-150 miles separating them.

Put your hands up for Detroit! A lovely city...

These 'shoes' a good fit for Norwalk By AARON KRAUSE - Reflector Staff Writer | Monday March 31 2008, 11:03am [email protected] http://www.norwalkreflector.com/articles/2008/04/01/news/local/iq_526349.txt Tom Carabin was sad when he heard Norwalk's Shoestring Players was disbanding; it would mean someone was going to miss out on a valuable learning experience. As a member during the 50s and 60s, Carabin not only honed his acting skills; he learned how to better work with people, present himself in front of others and communicate.

I was using the July 2000 estimate; but you are correct if you look at the April 2000 estimate.

Also, I LOVE this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UKrCmNfCe0

If you're more into rock/alternative/post-punk/electronica I recommend The Bravery and Mobile. Also, I'm a sucker for Missy Elliott (she keeps the beat going) :)

I'm supposed to be studying for a mesoscale meteorology test; but I was bored and made 2 non-scientific, general maps based off this info :-D Green = Population gain Red = Population loss Population Change 2006 to 2007 Population Change 2000 to 2007 (notice the "rings" around Cuyahoga/Summit, Hamilton, and Lucas)

I know! I totally looked in the front window of my Grandma's house!

This is amazing!

I totally missed this amazing thread! The closest I've ever been to Dayton was Eaton, and well, I wish I would have been to Dayton instead of Eaton lol

STREET LIGHTHOUSES 3-D canvases arrive for Sandusky’s charity art project By JENNIFER GRATHWOL http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2008/03/28/local_news/661051.txt SANDUSKY - Let there be lighthouses. Twenty-five fiberglass lighthouses, each 6 feet tall, arrived at the Merry-Go-Round Museum on Thursday afternoon for the 2008 Light in the Harbor community art project. ____________________________________________________________________ City lighthouses up for bid http://activepaper.olivesoftware.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=RegisterD&BaseHref=SDSKY/2008/09/01&PageLabel=A2&EntityId=Ar00201&ViewMode=HTML By MICHELLE PLETCHER SANDUSKY - The 28 lighthouses scattered across the city added a splash of color everywhere this summer, but all good things must come to an end. A Light in the Harbor, a fundraising effort to benefit the Firelands chapter of the American Red Cross, the Merry-Go-Round Museum and The Erie County United Way, has been up and running since Memorial Day. For information call the Merry-Go-Round Museum at 419-626-6111; the American Red Cross at 419-626-1641; or United Way orf Erie County at 419-625-4672.

Upon looking at an aerial map, I notied that the line that Amtrak runs to Sandusky on passes through the city of Huron, and more specifically it runs right next to the BGSU branch (Firelands College) which has consistent growth in enrollment and is the only institution of higher education in the area. That would be a good potential stop on the West Shore Commuter Line (if the tracks would ever connect up in Vermilion).
