Should have balanced the load with a few hogs. ;-)
Started by W.S. Stuckey. Sold to Pet, which ran it into the ground through corporate mismanagement. (Pet grew the chain from about 350 locations to 75.) Repurchased by the original Stuckey’s son after he retired from Congress; he’s managed to slowly undo the damage and grow the chain.
Good for him. I’ve seen a lot of corporate mismanagement in 40 years of work. It just takes one guy with common sense to fix it.
Oops. You are correct.
No biggie. My FIL is a Hilltopper (WKyU in Bowling Green, KY), and my late cousin got his undergrad at BGSU in Bowling Green, OH. So I’m familiar w/ both.
Must have been some really toked up bus driver if he managed to go through those three places on a route from Michigan to Columbus...
Depending on how many centuries ago you're talking, I would bet that the route took you down US 25 and then cut off in Findlay on Blanchard Ave. to pick up US 23 in Carey... Maybe BG, Findlay, Carey, Upper Sandusky on a routing to Columbus, but Tiffin? I didn't think the Silver Dog had that strange a a routing..
However, you are correct that there wasn't much going on in those towns, or any other in the area. ;-) (Of course, you might have visited Tiffin on your own to take in the sightseeing tour of the Olde Mill Stream..)
Umm...
The Old Mill Stream is the Blanchard River and it’s in Findlay. Don’t know why I was thinking that it was in Tiffin. Matter of fact, I’m having a problem coming up with anything Tiffin is noted for, other than Ballreich’s Potato Chips..
My brain leaks more now than it did back when I lived in those parts. I blame the air here. Or maybe it’s the concentration of liberals...
