I bought a used travel book for about $2 the other day. The bookstore is clean, small and well organized. I agree with a few other yelpers... stores like this make you steer away from electronic books like the Kindle. Most of the books I read, I find browsing through book stores. Or even in the library.

The security guards are on the ball here and do more than the rest of them. They really work these guards hard here and don't pay them nearly enough for all that they do.

Good place for hobos to stay warm just don't sleep they will kick you out.

What an incredible library we have in downtown Fort Wayne!…read more The staff is friendly and always willing to help. One of the best things are all of the amenities available to you when you get a library card. Apps, online downloading, streaming...the list goes on and on! Each section is filled with so many great items and I, myself, could literally spend hours there! It is well organized and well kept. I love the ease of the checkout process being self-service, with many places around the library. You can get in and out quick, if you need to. Additionally, they offer many great programs, a lot of them free, for people in the community to take part in. If you haven't already, check out the ACPL!

I think i passed the Van Wert County Armed Forces Album dozens of times before i realized what it…read morewas. It is a small building Located in downtown next to the county court house and across the street from 133 Bistro, it is certainly a high traffic area... which may partially explain why i missed it. Heck i thought it was part of the courthouse, when i first saw it. It's essentially a living album of everyone who fought for the US who lived in Van Wert County. Its full of pictures of those brave veterans who put their life on the line for our freedom. The photos are catalogued on a list, so that family members can find a photo of their loved one who is located in there. On the most recent memorial day, i decided to walk through it. I may be a new resident in the county, and i certainly did not have any family members whose picture was lined on its wall. I was struck with how many people were on these walls, rows upon rows of brave soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who came from this county to serve their nation. It really made me reflect on how fortunate I and my family are to live in this great nation. I think having something like this is truly a wonderful idea, certainly something i don't remember seeing in my old hometown.

When i was moving to Van Wert in 2020, one of the very first things that impressed me about my new…read morehometown was the Van Wert County Courthouse. It is a beautiful and imposing building located in downtown Van Wert. I have a thing for old buildings... really anything old. There is a beauty to them, and this building certainly has it. Just to give you some background on this building, its history and Van Wert in general, I will copy some info from the website of the Ohio Supreme Court: "The Van Wert County Courthouse was designed by architectural firm of Thomas J. Tolan & Son and built in 1876. The building, located at 121 East Main St. in the county seat of Van Wert, is still in use and today houses the Van wert County Court of Common Pleas. The courthouse features Second Empire style architecture and is constructed of pressed brick and stone. Tolan also incorporated into his design of the courthouse materials that were not yet tested at the time. His use of pressed metal both in the interior and exterior of the courthouse reduced the cost of construction and also gained him and the courthouse notoriety in Industrial Monthly in 1876. The courthouse features a bell tower with a large clock and a mansard roof. Above the courthouse's entrance is an eight foot tall statue of Lady Justice made of zinc. Van Wert County is named for Isaac Van Wart, a soldier during the American Revolution and one of the captors of the British spy John André. John André was notorious for negotiating the betrayal of the West Point Fort with Benedict Arnold, an American Revolutionary general. The courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974." FYI for anyone reading if you want to get to know more about John Andre in a more entertaining fashion, he is the main antagonist in a tv show called Turn: Washington's Spies. It is a great series that I highly recommend. I digress.. so recently i got to tour this beautiful building that is almost 150 years old during the 200th anniversary of the county's foundation. It was fun for children and adults. For children they had face painting, and individuals dressed up as Spiderman as well as cotton candy. I will admit i also had cotton candy. For adults they had the tour and of course someone dressed as the namesake of the town, Isaac Van Wart. It was an amazing tour. We got the see the courtroom, the inner workings of the courthouse, clock tower, got on the roof and then climbed up to the top of the clocktower! The courtroom is absolutely beautiful... wood carved justice on the doors... gorgeous "sky" light. Its amazing that they have taken such great care of it especially when you consider this courtroom is still in use. The court handles all civil, felony criminal and domestic relations cases. I have to say i would love to be called to be a juror here just to spend more time in this courtroom. I cannot say much beyond the above. My only experience at this courthouse besides this celebration/tour was my experiences with the County Title Department that is also located here. Which was a pleasant experience. I am proud to have such an amazing building/courthouse in my new hometown.

I even told them I could pay the remainder the following month and was overtalked and told NO. These people are liars and greedy.

I have come twice to my local Ohio Bmv since I moved to Ohio from Florida. For those of you outside…read moreof Ohio, the BMV is the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, their version of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Pretty much everything is the same except for a few differences The first time I came in was because I needed a notary in order to send some documents needed on the sale of my old home down in Florida. It was last minute and I was scrambling to find a notary. I had no idea who to go to or how much it would cost me. Thankfully someone at the front desk of the hotel I was staying in told me the local BMV has a notary service. I was super happy, I went in there and in no time I had the document I needed to send notarized. The best part was that it was free! I already was beyond satisfied with the service here because of that. They really saved me! I later came back in order to get an Ohio drivers license. Small wait like (2 people). Once I gave them the required documents, I took my picture and they told me I would get my license in the mail in two weeks. It pretty similar the process like in Florida. One thing I found out from them was that Ohio doesn't have auto tag agencies? In order to change your tag, you have to go do it at the courthouse. Anyway a BMV/DMV where you don't spend hours wasting your time is great!
