Archbold seems to have brand-spanking-new brick streets.  Either that or no one has driven on them for the last hundred years.

Archbold is home to Sauder Furniture. In summer, Sauder Village is open. It's a highly-regarded living history attraction, very good.

That explains the Streetscaping.

yeah, i saw sauder on the way out of town, i don't know if they were open (i doubt it) but i remember it being like 10 bucks. Well i could have stopped by the gift shop.....

wow, my super old camera makes an appearance.

I wonder if any foreigners ever walk into one of our Subways, expecting to find a subway?

 

Those mustard covered shades are da' bomb.

I doubt it since in most countries the "subway" is known as "the metro".

I saw a train station in Italy and it's sign said "FART".  I thought it was a Taco Bell.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do small northern Ohio towns always look so austere and plain? Is it in the water?

 

This is a relatively nice one, BTW.

Dude that Subway is awesome.

Stryker is fascinating

it looks like archy used the same "lifestyle mall type" street intersection paving that lorain also used in it's downtown along broadway -- interesting to see how it looks in another town. i wonder how well it will hold up after a few more years of wear and tear.

Is this thread the source of the venerable Urbanohio "Stryker" meme?

This or one of the related ones.

 

Whenever I hear that name I think of Jeff Stryker the gay porn star.

It is!

 

 

Wow ... so this is Stryker? lol
