Mishler, Ohio
**7/20/2003**
Yeah, you're probably reading the
title to this page right about now and thinking "Oh man, I don't even wanna
know". Sorry, I'm gonna tell ya anyway!!! Okey dokey, well, for
starters, this past Sunday, July 20th, was the beginning of our little vacation.
Yep...it's been fun. So, we had plans to leave for Toronto, to see the
Hockey Hall of Fame, Gretzky's restaurant, etc. All that good stuff.
Well, we decided not to leave until Monday, for lots of reasons...and had Sunday
just sitting there all open and available for boredom. I first heard about
the wonderful little speck on the map called Mishler approx. 6 months
ago...TOTALLY by accident. I don't even recall how I found it. But
anyway...I DID, and its a speck just south-southeast of Akron.
We drove for...well, a while before
finally finding Mishler. Unfortunately, the place is so small that it
doesn't have a "Welcome to Mishler" sign...unless someone already stole it.
 No, it wasn't me!
There is one main street that goes through Mishler, and its appropriately named
"Mishler Road". Very clever! Being that I wasn't allowed to steal a
street sign (EVEN after I had proof that someone ELSE has already stolen
one...the post with the missing sign!) I still couldn't convince them that I
need the sign for my room. Dern. That's ok...I'll just have to go
back someday! So for now, I have pictures.
This first picture is one of the
VERY few intersections in Mishler. Personally I find more joy in the
wonderful looking establishment in the background!! No, not ALL of the
buildings look that bad...there are actually a few houses that MIGHT EVEN be
lived in!! I
have yet to pick a definite name for the duck, I will be taking suggestions by
email
though! For now, I think he'll be referred to as Prince Alexander Anton Troschinsky VI. Or Al for short.
Next we have one of
the most interesting street signs I've ever run across. It's SERIOUSLY a
street sign, I'm not making this up! Approx. 500 feet after you see this
sign, you see the CATTLE. LOL It was hilarious. Not like I've
never seen a cow before, but it was great. There is nothing but wide open
space on either side of the road, and hence why the cows seem to like the area.
I suppose one too many cows had been hit by cars(?) so they put an little wire
fence up. Now, the fence is about 2 feet high...so we're going on the
assumption that cows can't jump. Ok then, I guess that would warrant a
sign? I dunno..whatever.
Next we have another
peculiar little street sign! This one I still have yet to figure out...if
you know what on earth they're talking about, let me know. The only thing
I can picture, is something like a scene from the Beverly Hillbillies. In
any case..if you're ever in Mishler, look out for oil.
So, that was my trip
to Mishler...it was fun while it lasted. LOL Yeah, THIS is what I do
during the summer. Got any BETTER ideas!?!?!
