The trouble with a black truck is it really show the dirt, so I went to Alliance , (home of the Ohio state flower, the red carnation), found a place to wash it, then had lunch at the 57 Diner which was a nostalgic automotive themed diner and it was great ! 

July 31, 2012 - Famous as the birthday of Twinkles. Another little known fact is : The Ohio State rock song is "Hang on Sloopy", can you believe it  ?

Trip to Canton, Ohio famous as the home of the Football Hall of Fame.  They had a special inductees event going on and city work crews were putting up bleachers downtown and cleaning everything. Everything in town is very sports oriented, especially football and the Hall of Fame draws lots of tourists and money.  No, we didn't go to the Hall, instead we wandered around downtown and explored the interesting Arts district and had lunch at the Arcadia Grille which claims to be the oldest eatery in town. I put Canton on the recommended list, something for everyone there.
