Are you old enough to remember the big steel plate in the parking lot at Kewpee's? Narrow lot that dead ended into a building. You could drive in and angle park but would have to back out into a busy street-instead they installed a big steel plate at the back of the lot that spun on an axis. you drove your car onto the plate, honked and the burger guy inside pushed a button. Plate turned 180 degrees so your car faced the street and off you went. Kewpee's is an Ohio treasure. And remember "Your grandpappy ate there".

Yes, I remember it well. It was quite something for a kid from Wapak to ride the turnplate! lol Hey, did you ever find the pics of Poe Ditch Festival? Would love to see them.

Never did-I have boxes and boxes and have looked through most of them but I think back then I was taking a lot of slides and I haven't come across any of those. And thanks for the word "turnplate"- for the life of me I couldn't think of that but that's what it was called. Old age is so much fun.

My mom just moved to Cridersville and I get over to Wapak more often these days. Ever been to the rock garden in the guy's yard with the giant boulders? One of the stranger, cooler things I've seen around there.

I miss Geauga Lake.....

Me too. Went there all the time when I was a kid. To this day, I've been boycotting Cedar Fair and instead have been going to smaller parks.

Well, then you've been missing out on some great coasters if you haven't ridden Millenium Force, Maverick or Top Thrill Dragster.

*side note* Any chance we start seeing "Cedar Point; Huron, OH" instead of "Sandusky???"

What, pray tell, is "Dayton Style Pizza"?

[bgsufn]

Oh, I've gone a couple of times. I've won tickets and got a couple of freebees. Never pay for anything in the park.

I've been on everything but Top Thrill because the lines have always been long for that one.

Why? Their official address is Sandusky, OH. Huron is to the East.

I'm not an expert, but I believe Dayton style pizza is thin with the toppings/sauce spread edge to edge. A large is cut into about 178 tiny square pieces including miniscule corner pieces (yes I said "corner" when talking about a circle, you know what I mean). Donato's is close to Dayton style.

There used to be a place in Ottawa (Ohio, not Ontario ) that made it like that. I believe it was called Red Tops way back in the 70's...

Don't mean to remind you that you are old, but I don't remember Red Tops at all.

Yeah, well, I am compared to you. Compared to others on here...not so much.

The odd thing about that pizza was that there was salt on the bottom of the crust...not sure why.

Cassano's was founded in 1953. Donato's then popped up in Columbus in the early 60s and spread from there.

Salt on the crust could have been special to that place. I know the Dayton pizza places sprinkle a special seasoning on the crust before baking it.

They changed mustards at Great American Ballpark which reminds me, Woeber's from Springfield is good stuff. I really like the Cleveland Stadium mustard as well.

I worked a horse show in Ashland in May and the concessions vendor had about six different Sandwich Pals mustards. I don't think I've ever ate so many dogs in a weekend!

The Amish place on E. Wooster St. sells some of the Sandwich Pals mustards.
