I live in a small town in North-Central Ohio. Here's a map although it's a bit out of date.
At one time Galion was one of the top importers of steel in the U.S. A company called Galion Iron Works used a bunch of that steel.

I am currently living in Germany. Was born in Tel Aviv, but soon moved to the states and lived in (takes deep breath) Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri again, Arkansas and Virginia. Decided to go for my PhD, and went to York England for two years where I met my wife and then for a year in Cambridge, UK. As my in-laws were in Germany, we moved to Germany in 1999 and have been here ever since (albeit in several different places in Germany). We live in a nice town called Velbert which is near Dusseldorf. Close to the in-laws which turned out to be a good thing as my late father-in-law got ill when we lived a bit futher south, so we moved here to be closer. He passed in July of last year. At least we are close to my mother-in-law and she comes every Thursday for supper and general conversation. I'll post some pictures once I figure out how to do it, but in the meantime let me say that we live about two minutes from the freeway, but we are in a subdivision that is surrounded by woods. We're "in the country" but in the city. It's great, we have the infrastructure and the country. Unfortunately they don't play much baseball around here, although there are a few teams in the Dusseldorf and Wuppertal area. Interesting that we have so many people from so many different places. Great website too. :

Also, my first wife was from Washington, Missouri, the home of Missouri Meershaum. Visited the factory several times and I found the whole thing totally unique. Lots of nice people working there. Got a few cobs from there. The guys in my pipe club here find it interesting that I've been to the factory. Wish I had had my camera to show pictures, but my first wife took the camera.

Most of the time we live on the banks of the Mississippi River in Southwestern Wisconsin.
We always welcome guests in the warmer months.
And a couple of moths a year we live south of Tucson AZ. Both are happy, comfortable, pipe friendly homes! 8O

Whereabouts are you fisher? I'm up near a little place called Tignish, in the western end of the Island.
Currently reside in Oklahoma City, OK. I didn't see anyone else here who lives in Oklahoma, sad news.
Looks like I am the second on this thread to be from Brantford, Ontario.
I find that Brantford is close to everywhere else I like to go...lol...Niagara Falls, Toronto, London, Port Dover.
Alexander Graham Bell had a cottage here, oh, and Wayne somebody, plays hockey?? :wink:

Bridgeport, Connecticut, home of Phineas T. Barnum. I'm enjoying reading this thread and seeing all the pics. Were I more computer oriented I would post some myself!
