Massillon

Massillon is an Ohio city I had never heard of. It's much bigger than I expected, since I expected nothing. It's a crossroads of sorts. Our hotel is next to the Lincoln highway, the first road to cross the continent. Our hotel is also a couple of blocks from the Tuscarawas River, a link on the Ohio Erie canal.

Massillon has some excellent murals.

Massillon is known as the City of Champions.

On our way to Massillon we passed a lot of vegetable fields on a road called Swamp Street. It probably was a swamp at some point, the dark soil reminds me of fields in the Florida Everglades.

This soil can yield 3 crops of veggies per year.

Are they still painting these Mail Pouch barns? This one should look pretty good after it weathers for 50 years.
