Day 134 -- Miami University, Oxford, Ohio



Well, here I am in Oxford, home of Miami University. There are lots of very nice buildings on campus. I chose to pose in front of the Sesquicentennial Chapel, which is dated 1959. By my calculations, that must mean that Miami is approaching its bicentennial, which is a tremendous run for an American University. My alma mater just had its own sesquicentennial a few years ago.



Above is the Black-Pugh's Mill Covered Bridge, recently restored and rededicated.



Addy N. offered to take me out to the High Street Grill, but I opted instead for Skipper's Pub, because they have a web site. I couldn't find any photos of the High Street Grill on-line. Also, Skipper's Pub sells the following very attractive t-shirt:



This is the sort of thing that must make one proud to be a professor in this town.

Welcome to Oxford! Yessiree- we are having our bicentennial in 2009, alright! And that is a lovely t-shirt you found. I have never been to Skipper's (for obvious reasons). You should see how nice it is here on "Green Beer Day"...

Have a nice visit!

Oh yeah- I think we're the 2ND oldest university in Ohio (I think Ohio U has us beat by about 5 years)
