Barberton

Ohio Columbus Barber (founder of Barberton) is wearing a face covering, although it slipped below his nose.

In years past, this last weekend, it would have been Mum Fest in Barberton. 2020 being the year of coronavirus, the shindig was cancelled, but the flowers were planted. Here are some fotos from a few years past [click], [and click], [and here too].

A mural with Barberton highlights: the nickname of the high school is the Magics, Hopocan was a Lenape chief before, and during initial white settlement of Ohio. The chicken drumstick is a nod to Barberton Serbian style chicken, that was popular doing Hoover's Depression. The chicken is cut up into more pieces than now expected, including pieces normally not used now. The chicken is frien in lard, and unseasoned.

It is nearing the end of the population count, and the library reminds us. The screen also has many additional messages.

Will was about to trim away some branches, when i saw him.  I mistakenly thought he was dressed as a Scotsman with weaponry.

When the coronavirus precautions hit Ohio, one of the no-go sites were picture shows. The marquees are blank, or list mid-March showings.

Outdoor ceiling of an entrance to what once was a store is now a mural.
