I also saw ‘Topless’, and was surprised. I went to college in Columbus, Ohio, a thousand years ago. When taking the Greyhound Bus there from Michigan, there was not a whole lot going on in the surrounding towns, like Tiffin, Findley or Bowling Green. A Topless Beach (i know, dyslexia) would have been talked about.
Heh - we traveled some of the same territory. Defiance (on the Ohio side) and I bet we know many of the Michigan and maybe Indiana towns (depending on your bus route).
Wrong Bowling Green. The one in this story is in KY.
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..)
