Oddball Ohio

This
off-the-wall travel guide presents an Ohio odder than imagined. It
wastes no time describing Cedar Point or suggesting scenic bike rides
through the Hocking Hills; instead, this entertaining travel companion
directs out-of-state adventurers and Buckeye state residents to the home
of the world's largest cockroach, an Amish SUV, Egg Shell Land, a
two-headed calf, and the Accounting Hall of Fame. Ohio is depicted as
the birthplace of bar codes, Airstream trailers, televangelism, Paul
Lynde, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the banana split. Odd stories abound,
and tales of Ohio as the only state where Jerry Springer has been
elected the mayor of a major city, where a brick outhouse is on the
National Register of Historic Places, and where Buster the Dog voted for
president accompany the site-seeing suggestions. Plenty of photos and
maps ensure that this guide is as practical as it is wacky when seeking
out wonders such as the Great Pumpkin Watertower, Goodyear’s World of
Rubber, and Bogart and Bacall's wedding site, then relaxing with a brew
at the World’s Longest Bar.
