The keyhole is one of several portals in Ohio where alien beings move back and forth between our dimension and theirs.

Interesting excerpts about Oak Harbor from http://oakharbor.oh.us/pages/our-village/history.php

 

Sawmills and various lumber related industries were started to clear the timbers around the village. River traffic to the mouth of the Portage River, and beyond, moved the products to national and world ports. With the growth of the village, it became necessary to establish a post office. Because there were three other Hartfords in Ohio, the Post Office Department requested a name change. After much discussion, heated debate and research in the Post Office Directory, the name of Oak Harbor was chosen. "Oak" to emphasize the prominence of that wood in the surrounding area, and "Harbor", the importance of the river to the Village. Thus in January 1845, the Hartford Post Office ceased to exist and the Post Office named Oak Harbor came into being. The name of the Village itself was changed from Hartford to Oak Harbor on March 27, 1863. Oak Harbor was incorporated April 17, 1871.

 

At one time they had 56 daily passenger trains passing through this village:

It's kinda like the Peach District: no peaches, but there is a district. I kinda like the town.

Some of my father's cousins live on the outskirts of Oak Harbor; I've never been to the town though.  And apparently this season's American Idol Crystal Bowersox is from the area and went to Oak Harbor schools....
