Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

 
Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Buckeye State has to offer!

Walk among 109 human-size ears of corn; through a collection of some 1,000 autographed hot dog buns; and over perfectly good subway tunnels that have never been used.

Cross a bridge to stay on the same side of the river; traverse state lines without
leaving a pharmacy; or give a drive-by high five to a 62-foot-tall Jesus.

Meet Juno, the transparent, talking woman; see Pretty Boy Floyd’s fate immortalized in a death mask; or examine three pickled and preserved fingers.

Whether you're a born-and-raised Ohioan or a recent transplant, author Sandra Gurvis will have you laughing out loud as she introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed—right in your own backyard.
