Without modern distractions like television and computers, members of Ohio’s Amish community are voracious readers, library officials say.

Ohio Uniqueness
Such is a thing that is very unique to Geauga County in Ohio (where Middlefield is located). Such can also create a traffic problem in terms of cars facing down horses and buggies.

I love critters. I hope I am a somewhat okay driver. Horse & buggy plus cars can get to be slightly scary at times.
