Kathie, Lou, Denise, and Carolyn,
Hi to those from Ohio! I lived in Newark from 5th grade until I graduated from "Nerk" high school. What a campus for a high school. Though we moved a lot due to my dad being transfered quite a bit, I still think of Nerk as home. My husband grew up in Marion.
Now I live in Cols. and raised my kids here. My 30 yr. old daughter and friends, though they have lived or do live in Chicago, San Francisco, and other large cities, all plan come back to Ohio as the ideal place to raise their children.
My daughter is presently living in Kent (her husband is in school-second career- so I would be interested in any shops up that way too.
