When my husband, Bobby, and I planned to do a day trip with his former co-worker, Linda Hall and her husband, Jon, we hadn't set any specific plans in place. (Jon and Linda are also the creators of Walking Ohio with Jon and Linda Hall.)

As I understand it, even young people know her thanks to cable channels like “Nick at Nite.” Bobby and I stopped at a Welcome Center/Rest Area around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, that overlooks Chautauqua Lake. We … [Read more...]
