I decided to take a ride today, since the weather was beautiful. Nobody else was around, so I took off on my own. I’d seen a town name on Google Maps that interested me. So, I headed up to just past Brookville, and started looking for the town sign....

In early June, we took a ride down to Moundsville. Why? Because Moundsville, of course. After a brief refreshment stop, it was on to Charles Manson’s boyhood home in McMechen, WV. You see, he didn’t have the storybook childhood one would naturally assume. His mother was, well, trash. When...

It’s October, and that means it’s time for another HalloWLBoT ride! Today, we’re going to visit Frankenstein’s grave. In Canton, OH. That couldn’t be the famous doctor, could it? Could it?   Nah.   The cemetery also had a fair amount of pretty cool mausolea.   After our walk...

Those of us from my generation remember them. The little cafeteria with the diner-esque menu located in the back of the K-Mart. Complete with the late 1960’s styling, right down to the overly-dark-stained wood, and semi-translucent green and orange textured ‘glass’ (plastic) dividers (at least the one in North...

It’s August, and time to get another WLBoT in. It’s a busy month, so I thought we’d hit something reasonably close to home after work. Evil Twin and I met up once I got off, and headed down to the hometown of Perry Como. You might recognize the name,...

It’s Independence Day, and what’s more American than spending a holiday at an amusement park? This occasionally abandoned amusement park started out as Exposition Park in 1892, and was renamed to Conneaut Lake Park in 1920. It’s been around a while. It’s signature ride, the Blue Streak roller coaster,...

I’ve no idea how it happened, but I’ve lived within an hour of the Mason-Dixon Line for over 50 years without once being to the park commemorating the historic border. An early June day with questionable weather seems like just the way to rectify such a situation. Evil Twin...

Saturday was the Spring Zing. We lost a bunch of people before it even began. Neighbor Lou was home with the wife and 1 1/2 week-old daughter. NickyB and his brother RB bailed out due to weather. Understandable, given that RB is new to this. It was just Evil...

Lots of riding this year. Lots of fun places. Lots of good people. Here’s a short look back at just some of the fun from the past year.    ...

Allegheny College, Meadville, PA Brooks Hall, a girls’ dorm, is supposedly haunted. We head there, in hopes of seeing something interesting. Or maybe even ghosts. We decided to not venture in, realizing that a couple of older men wandering through the girls’ dorm might raise a few eyebrows. And,...
