A TOWN WITHOUT AN ALLEY is A TOWN WITHOUT A SOUL Joe Todd 2009

(A MY WORLD POST) Here in Lancaster Ohio we have a plethora of alleys and I’m glad. I have a blind alley behind my house and that is called a cul-de-sac. Chicago,Illinois has the largest network of alleys in the world,about 1,900 miles worth.

 

Those two houses are separated by an alley. Not only that they don’t face on a street they face on an alley.

For the most part the Alleys in Lancaster,Ohio are made of brick though some are grass. “ A Way To Go” is what “Alley” means in France.

Sometimes you will find white picket fences ,barns or garages in alleys.Just to add to the confusion here are some other terms for alley: snickets, ginnels,close, jennels,twitten,jigger,gulley,twichell,or  wynd and pend. I also like backyards.

Whether it be a street or an alley an Ohio winter is cold and snowy. So:::::

 The rooster was hanging out in an alley.

DAY TRIP FROM LANCASTER,OHIO TO LONGABERGER HOMESTEAD AND FACTORY “DISCOVER OHIO”

The “Home Office” of Longaberger is only a seven story Basket.

The Longaberger company is family owned and is dedicated to making products right here in America. Linda and I thought this would be a great place to visit on this 9-11-09

Members of the Longaberger family; Wendy and Larry were on hand to “sign your basket”. In particular I liked Larry’s “workshop” and in talking to Wendy I found her to be a “hoot”

Notice the magnetic plate holding the small piles of nails.

Starting to get a little hungry so we are off to get a bite to eat.

Well we get inside the restaurant and who do we see. I asked the mime if he left us anything to eat but didn’t get any response. Imagine that. We had a great lunch for just a little over $15.00 and with our energy restored we set out for a little shopping and touring.

Room after room of “goodies” cooking lessons and a snack bar. Before heading over to the “factory” we relax and listen to some very good music.

I don’t know her name but she sure did know how to sing. Next,we take the shuttle bus over to the “factory” and “factory store” where you can enroll in “basket making 101”. Learn how to weave your very own basket with a skilled artisan showing you the “way to weave”

  Wait a minute the fellow in the top center photo isn’t making a basket.

Taking a closer look he was in the pie eating contest,which I missed. At any rate it was a great outing on a beautiful day in Ohio.

 Ted R. says, “take some time to Discover Ohio ” and thanks for stopping by but I’ve got to weave now.

One last comment: On the shuttle bus the woman driver said, “you know where everything is.” I said, “am I suppose to know where everything is” She thought a moment and said, “well no you’re a man”

WATERY WEDNESDAY in LANCASTER,OHIO ( A QUALITY TIME WALK )

For some great photos from all over the world stop by Watery Wednesday blog spot.

For some quality time together Linda and I went on our daily walk to Rising Park.

As a “kid” I spent hours and hours at this park ; fishing,sailing homemade boats,and ice skating in the winter.

While Linda and I were on the walk we found our second Geocache about 1/2 mile from the park. More about that in the next post.
