The Red Brick Times

On matters closer to home, a site called Forgotten Ohio has a whole pile of places that you may or may not have seen, been to, or heard of. For example, The Ridges, a former insane asylum from 1874, loomed down on me when I attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. This site has pictures, history and details of each site. Remember Chippewa Lake, near Medina? Still there, roller coaster and all, overgrown and crumbling since being abandoned in 1978. I also remember the Millfield coal mine explosion site from my time in Athens County. The mine was left as a monument to the 82 who died in 1930.

Forgotten Ohio also has cemetery and haunting locations to read as Samhain approaches.
