    Be4 the Destination

     

    Is it weird to be sentimental about a state highway? For Nick, the anticipation of reaching Sandusky’s Cedar Point at the end of Ohio Route 4 colors the entire road with wonder. For Katie, the town of Sandusky is a treasure as the home of beloved family but the road itself is a means to an end. For Kelsey… well, she usually gets to Sandusky a different way. On this episode of The Ohio Bubble, our hypothetical trip up Route 4 has as many twists, turns, and surprises as a real road trip. Buckle up!

                                • This was a broad introduction to Ohio. As such, there were a lot of important things we couldn’t talk about here.
                              • Fair warning: We absolutely believe there’s a brighter future for Northeast Ohio but we don’t shy away from its dark side and misfortunes in this episode.
                              • We were wrong- American cheese is, in fact, cheese.
                              • Wildcat Hollow is a specific trail in Wayne National Forest, not its own state park.
                              • The term “rock and roll” was not actually coined by Alan Freed. He was  just the first to use it to describe a genre of music.

                                We’re back with our second county special. We managed to do an episode on Hamilton County with only one reference to the musical. Meanwhile, Katie judges tornadoes, Nick says “also” a lot, and Kelsey presents her comprehensive hayride theory.

                                                    Someone had the crazy idea of doing a whole episode for each of Ohio’s 88 counties. And we’re just crazy enough to try! We begin with Washington County, the first established. It’s now home to all the historical sites you could want in a county and all the creepy dolls you could want in a lifetime. In this episode, we also accidentally come full circle on just about every topic and say the name, Putnam a lot. Say it with us: Putnam. Fun right?

                                                    Like roller coasters? Then Ohio is the state for you! Between Cedar Point in the north and Kings Island in the south, we have 30 different coasters to choose from, including some of the tallest, fastest, and longest in the world. In this episode, we’ll take you through our memories of these two world class amusement parks and in an attempt to finally settle which is Ohio’s best. Along the way, we’ll introduce you to “coaster therapy,” employ the phrase, “furnace of a dog,” and complain some more about the weather.
