Ohio, at last. This photo is not, of course, from the place where PA-51 turns into OH-14. But you can't have everything. I found it at AARoadtrips.com.
A few bits of Ohio trivia, from 50States.com:
- The Cincinnati Reds were the first professional baseball team. [Who did they play?]
- Seven United States presidents were born in Ohio. They are: Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William H. Taft, and Warren G. Harding. [Grandpa Jogger was also born in Ohio, but fell somewhat short of the presidency.]
- Ohio became the 17th state on March 1, 1803. [However, according to Cecil Adams, Congress at that time did not officially pass a resolution formally admitting Ohio to the Union. This oversight wasn't corrected for 150 years.]
- W.F. Semple of Mount Vernon patented chewing gum in 1869.
On to Wooster!
