As an Ohio birder, I couldn't resist my daughter's suggestion to expand on the letter "O" image posted earlier.

I've driven by this place for years, but being back in Ohio to visit family & friends, I finally took a photo of it as its condition is much worse than when I used to remember it from 15-20 years ago. I posted this already on Instagram (where I post iPhone photos like this), but I liked how this turned out, and figured I'd share it here too.

The cornerstone laid on November 4, 1886 evolved into this magnificent Chateauesque structure. Cleveland architect Levi T. Scofield designed the Ohio State Reformatory using a combination of three architectural styles; Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne. This was done to encourage inmates back to a "rebirth" of their spiritual lives. The architecture itself inspired them to turn away from their sinful lifestyle, and toward repentance
The Reformatory doors were opened to its first 150 young offenders in September 1896. After housing over 155,000 men in its lifetime, the doors to the prison closed December 31, 1990.
Today the Ohio State Reformatory Historic Site receives visitors from all over the world. Every year tourists, movie buffs, thrill seekers and paranormal investigators walk through the halls of this majestic structure.

Thick fog made for some great morning dew shots. I love the natural star bursts from the drops as the sun was trying break through the low clouds. Taken with Nikon 6T close-up filter/lens on my Nikkor 75-300mm.
House with an anti-police message painted on its roof in Newark, Ohio. Photo taken in October 2022. The house was gone in the May 2023 Google Street View and there's enough of a lawn that you wouldn't know that there had ever been a house at that location.
Chagrin Falls is located in beautiful Chagrin, Ohio. I had never been there but it reminded me of some Hollywood movie town with beautiful old buildings.. tons of ma and pa shops and people everywhere walking up and down the sidewalks.

Belmont, Belmont County, Ohio. The Belmont Market House is one of several gems I found in this small rural village. The tin facade and the ghost it hides are a fun find.

My brother Doug, my flickr contact Grant and I made a visit to Ohio on June 12 - 16, 2015. This picturesque church is at the center of the tiny hamlet of Ruggles in north-central Ohio. The clapboard church was dedicated way back in 1854.

nrhp # 14000030- Completed in 1920, the industrial university and recreational institution was developed by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for the welfare of its employees. The building included an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1686, the largest stage and theater in Akron in its time, and one of the largest in Ohio. The gymnasium was comparable to a college indoor athletic stadium. There were bowling alleys, target and rifle ranges, bath rooms and lavatories Goodyear university, and a cafeteria capable of accommodating 8,000 daily. Dormitory rooms were available for both men and women, in addition to recreational rooms and the library.[3] There were three entrances, two on East Market and one through the gymnasium.[2]
Wide corridors bisected the main floor longitudinally, separating the 12 store rooms and the auditorium and gymnasium. The auditorium was well appointed. Its main floor and suspended balcony seated 1,686. The stage was 40 feet (12 m) across, with double apertures, so as to permit its use by both the main auditorium and gymnasium. The gymnasium had a seating capacity of 5,000 people. An indirect lighting system was used throughout the auditorium with the exception of hanging candle fixtures which case a glow upon mural panels arranged on the side wall. A French Renaissance decoration scheme was used.[3] The large gymnasium with gallery had a floor space of 172 by 100 feet (52 m × 30 m), large enough to permit five basketball games simultaneously.
On the second floor, in addition to the auditorium balcony and emporium and balcony to the gymnasium, were tool rooms, writing and music rooms, a large and well equipped library, and a large community room for men. An industrial cafeteria, equipped with culinary appliance also occupied the second floor. Dormitories for 300 men were situated on the triangular space near the intersection of Goodyear Avenue and East Market Street.[3]
On the third floor were located the legislative chambers of the House of Representatives and Senate of the Goodyear Industrial Republic. Well-equipped committee and secretaries' rooms adjoined the house and senate.[4] A large girls' community hall was also housed on this floor. As on the floor below, the triangular space was used for dormitories for girls until other housing places were found. The remainder of this floor was devoted to women's recreational rooms, including a large assembly room for sewing and domestic science classes. This floor also included dormitory provisions for women.[3]
The fourth floor was given over to "Goodyear University" with accommodation for 5,500 students. There were 65 class rooms and studies which were augmented by fully equipped laboratories on the fourth and fifth floors. Near the front of the building, there was a large student's assembly room.[3]
On the seventh floor, there was a well-equipped picture department.[3] Films were used for educational purposes in classrooms to teach students the details of various operations of manufacturing rubber products. There were also facilities for developing and screening pictures to be used in Akron and in branches all over the world.[4]
In the basement, there were locker rooms with 5,500 lockers, 12 bowling alleys, six rifle ranges, a large clothes checking room and a barber shop.[3] A tunnel from the factory building across the street was created give access to the basement.

An afternoon of hanging out with my friend Fstop Finatic ended with us sitting up on a hill in Bath, Ohio waiting for the sky to blaze with color.
Mission accomplished! Over four days and three nights I saw the sights along the eleven county, four hundred mile, route that US 6 takes across Pennsylvania. Except for a couple of miles in Scranton I drove all of Rt. 6 (plus plenty of side trips).
It was a fun drive but I recommend taking an extra day or two to take things in at a more leisurely pace. For example, I drove by the famous PennDOT road sign sculpture garden as I was leaving Meadville but didn't have the time to stop and take it all in.
