June 10, 20178 yr Great stuff ink[/member] !!! I am smitten with this town. One Friday, every fall, I drive down to Marietta in the morning, and then go along the river all the way to Ironton. I usually arrive around 2:30-3:00 PM. I spend about 45 mins to an hour just walking around the town, trying to place myself in the 1955 Ironton, in the classic Americana of diners, mill workers, and kids with flat tops and varsity jackets. After that, I attend the Ironton high school football game, which is truly one of the most unique atmospheres our state has to offer. The town, though desolate, is still football crazy and an awesome place to catch a game if you like the whole "time machine feel" without the guilt of giving a dime to a school like Steubenville.
