About this title

From the Back Cover

Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Buckeye State has to offer! Whether you’re a born-and-raised Ohioan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Ohio Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Sandra Gurvis takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Buckeye State.
Walk among 109 human-size ears of corn; through a collection of some 1,000 autographed hot dog buns; and over perfectly good subway tunnels that have never been used.
Belly up at the Beer Barrel Saloon of Put-in-Bay, where the 405-foot bar is the world’s longest.
Meet Juno, the transparent, talking woman; see Pretty Boy Floyd’s fate immortalized in a death mask;
and examine three pickled and preserved fingers.
