Winter vacation part 2: Lisbon Ohio
Another piece of my winter vacation has fallen into place. In addition to Connecticut, I'll be roleplaying in Ohio from Jan. 5 - Jan. 7. If you've never been to a live action role-playing game before, visit the web site and see if you want to give it a try. If you like LARPing, come meet me in Ohio.
The campsite is in Lisbon Ohio so it looks like I'll be fairly close to Canton (where the pro-football hall of fame is) and Cleveland (where the rock n roll hall of fame is) and Akron (it looks big on the map but is there anything to do there?). Youngstown is another possibility and it has The Butler Institute of American Art (and that has an excellent collection of American, including Native American, art). I could also visit Pittsburgh if there's something to do there.
Does anyone have any advice for me about where to visit around Lisbon and how to stay warm (I'll be sleeping in heated cabins but will be outside much of the day and a large portion of the night)?

the weather will no doubt be minus 20 with fierce winds not too many people will be crazy enough to be outside.Dont waste you time driving to Akron.
Posted by: jay at November 15, 2006 9:46 PMThanks Rob - please do share some things to do in Lisbon! I'll be there for a LARP (live action roleplaying game) but I hope to convince my firends to do a little sightseeing with me!
Posted by: James Trotta at November 15, 2006 10:37 PMI just did read through you blog masoud. I'm still not quite sure what type of tourism operation you're working on but I certainly hope you succeed and that we do someday meet in Ischia. I've never been there...
Posted by: James Trotta at November 15, 2006 10:40 PMThat clown said not to not bother going to Akron? He would rather be in Lisbon??? That speaks volumes. Go to Northside on a Friday or Saturday night in Akron for some great live Blues and eat at Luigi's right next door. Great place Akron.
