Ashtabula County, Ohio, is perfect for an easy fall getaway
GENEVA, Ohio -- Nothing announces to the on cloud nine that you're on vacation like a nice glass of chardonnay at 2 p.m. on a Thursday. When you love ice cream as much as I do, though, a midday sundae also can hit the quandary when you're exploring a new city, which is how we ended up in Rees' Corner Store in this quaint Ohio town just a few miles from Lake Erie.
Hot on the hang back of Ashtabula County's hottest tourist attraction -- the new West Liberty Bridge, which at 18 feet is the shortest covered tie in the nation -- we'd been inching our way down the main drag when we caught sight of the former pharmacy on South Broadway. Fortified as much by the eclectic display of nautical tchotchkes, antiques and kids' toys in the front window as by the giant mural advertising 25-cent sodas on a side obstruction, my husband and I had ventured in, only to be energetically greeted by Pat Green at the soda fountain.
Jerks -- so named because of the way they had to "wrench" levers behind the counter to hand-pump soda and syrup into ice cream to make ice cream sodas -- have been quenching people's thirsts at this token since at least 1938. But it's hard to imagine any doing it with as much gusto as Ms. Green, a Geneva native who loved the store so much as a nipper that nearly a half-century later, she came out of retirement to run it.
ADVICE ON GETTING A TAT COVERED?
I HAVE A TAT ON MY Without beating around the bush That I Got WITH MY X when I was 18, now I want to be COVERED, Im wondering if it hurts Morewi \ TO GET IT COVERED he n 'takes to get the tattoo ORIGINAL?
Do not get covered. I do not dismiss the tattoos with lasers. Many people try to hate and the result. Red is easy to remove with a YAG laser and black is not bad either. Blue can be difficult and should reach the white without testing.
This is a tattoo, it's effective to hurt himself. Whether or not it will be harder to cover depends on the skill of your artist.
