Ohio Curiosities

About this book

Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Buckeye State has to offer!Whether you're a born-and-raised Ohioan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Ohio Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Sandra Gurvis takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Buckeye State. 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. Belly up at the Beer Barrel Saloon of Put-in-Bay, where the 405-foot bar is the world's longest. Meet Juno, the transparent, talking woman; see Pretty Boy Floyd's fate immortalized in a death mask; and examine three pickled and preserved fingers.
