Posted September 11, 200519 yr I'd been to Lima once before while in college, but didn't get much farther than the Kewpee Burger. This time, in town for a wedding, I went at it with a little more curiosity and was rewarded for my efforts! (there are a couple other similar Lima photo threads from last year, but I felt that it was time for a fresh one!)
September 11, 200519 yr I declare this thread to be better than the beans which share the town's name. Great photos! If not for the sign in this picture, I think there would be an illusion of a really tall skyscraper (the building's surface kind of looks like windows).
September 11, 200519 yr ^that is a wild shot, it sure does look like the biggest sign in the world bolted onto a big skyscraper! i see they spiffyed up the outside of the famous kewpee diner. last time i was there the little kewpee was gone (i heard they had sold the original little kewpee on ebay or something), but the new one looks great. question for baseball & history fans: is lima not the town where the negro league all-stars beat the pants off the mlb all-stars in an informal game back in the 1920's or 30's?? thx if you know that one!
September 12, 200519 yr Lima (west), Mansfield (central), and Steubenville (east) all feel the same size (tallest is art-deco,setback) and are interestingly ALL in a row. IIIInnnteresting...

September 12, 200519 yr In these photos, Lima looks quite a lot better than I remember it from years ago. It used to really have the pallor of death about it, but it looks like someone has breathed a little life into it here and there.
September 13, 200519 yr I'll get you, one of these days NJAIM!!! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
September 15, 200519 yr Lima certainly has ghetto parts, as does Mansfield. The cities themselves aren't ghetto but they do have ghetto parts. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

I think you have a point there sir. I think Steubenville may be in the worse shape (at least to an outsider), and Lima has the most urban downtown, but I do like the old gems on all 3 downtowns. Btw, thanks for the pics Mister Good Day.
September 21, 200519 yr nice pics! courthouse! umm, colday, wouldn't the line go from lima to mansfield then canton, not steubenville? canton also fits in the category of those three
September 22, 200519 yr nice pics! courthouse! umm, colday, wouldn't the line go from lima to mansfield then canton, not steubenville? canton also fits in the category of those three Totally forgot about Canton. So Canton, Lima, Mansfield, Steubenville. If you go off the beaten path of Rt. 30/22, how about Porrtsmouth, Springfield, Elyria, Hamilton, Lorain, and perhaps Middletown. Warren...maybe?

September 24, 200519 yr Painsville and Ashtabula? Findley? East Liverpool? Sandusky(outside of Cedar Point, of course)?
September 29, 200618 yr hi everyone........ I'd like to get opionions I haven't been to Ohio :?...... we are from Northern VA ...my fam. raised in arlington, va :clap:. My little. brother has decided to attend UNO university in Lima....I've never heard of this Univ. Universities here in northern va and in the district are very expensive, so this univ seems quite affordable. But my concern is what kind of place is lima?.....is it a city like type of place? anyone can tell me about UNO's reputation ? or does anyone know about the area in which this univ is located ... hows that area ..violence and crime wise.. thanks
September 29, 200618 yr University of Northwestern Ohio is a small private technical school in Lima. What kind of program is he going into? I believe their school for automotive repair is pretty good. I know of a couple of people who have taken classes in their business program, and they seemed to think it was fine, but I don't know much more than that. The "campus" is located in a safe area...it is right by the mall, so it just a bunch of sprawl development.
September 29, 200618 yr University of Northwestern Ohio is a small private technical school in Lima. University of Northern Ohio (in nearby Ada) instead? It would seem more reasonable to attend that than some technical school.
