The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society is located just outside of Fort Wayne in New Haven. My…read morefamily came to the historical society on December 2, 2023 for their annual Christmas Caboose trains. It certainly was an interesting experience. It's in a real train yard, and you have time before boarding to tour of the engine of a train and speak to people who have been engineers on a train. Truly fascinating. It was a cold day, thankfully they also had a food truck the sold coffee and hot chocolate available, i grabbed a coffee on the way out. They also had a gift shop available, it sold shirts, coffee mugs, carved wooden trains and other items. Once the train was ready, we got coach area and off we went. It was a small train ride, just 20 minutes. This train ride, also was really meant more for children. There was a santa who would go from passenger car to passenger car to great children. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who has children! The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical society also runs longer rides from other areas and they have interesting events. I would suggest you look at their website: https://fortwaynerailroad.org Again, although this was meant more for children and families with children, it was a fun experience and helped me think of a time where trains were the primary mode of long distance transportation in landlocked areas. It made me want to go on ones more for adults and i may go on another from the historical society. I also want to go and travel long distance on a train to a destination in the future, perhaps one over mountains! That sounds cool! Again, I definetly recommend this!

This was our first adventure on the train. We really enjoyed it and will plan to do again for…read morespecial occasions. This train left Angola and made a round trip to Edon, Ohio. Making reservations was easy to do on line. The Angola depot was easy reach as it is located right by a large parking lot on the Trine campus. Upon arrival everything is pretty well signed and straightforward. Lots of friendly-train-loving volunteers to get you to the correct location. The check in process was very easy as you showed you electronic tickets. They gave you an event card and drink tickets. The host, Starr, was absolutely a gem. She and the rest of the staff was very friendly and genuinely grateful that you were there. The trio of musicians was a nice touch. Very friendly group of guys just playing some easy going old-time music to put you in the mood. The drink line was a bit long. However they had a decent selection of drinks. It was nice that they let you bring your own food and drinks to supplement theirs. The chocolate pies were very tasty. The chocolate was rich and creamy with a nice flaky crust. As for the ride..you will find that the seating is very tight. Today's passengers are much bigger than those in the 1800's. It is very difficult for Teo couples to sit in the same grouping of seats. The good news is there is lots of "extra" seating in which you can spread out once everyone is seated. On this trip they advertised it as wine and chocolate. We used four drink tickets to get a bottle of wine from Hartland winery. That is a good partnership for the train as Hartland does an jive job with their wines. The provided chocolates were a small pastry and a "cheesecake style" ball. The chocolate pasty was delicious as it was rich and had a bold dark chocolate taste. Made you wish it were a bit larger. The cheesecake bit was very soft, creamy and had a traditional plain cheesecake taste. It was covered in a crumble of crust that made it easier to handle. Note...the emphasis of the trip really isn't the wine or dessert...it's the train adventure. Which was worth it. The car ride was rather smooth. Maybe enough to rock you to sleep. At times they struggled with the A/C. The country side was nice...not a lot of real attractive things on our route. It was nice to see how the communities embraced the train as it rolled through their towns. Overall...great experience. Give it a try!! It another note. I heard some people talk about purchasing premium seating. We found that the regular prices seating was just as enjoyable.

The attendent literally watched me put over $100 on top of other credits and the machine never credited them showed but one spin later gave me the last bet option while still showing $19 of credits!!!! This was on top of eating a $50 and a $20. I wrote my name and number down on a pad and was told the owner would get with me tom. No call all day show up at the arcade to be told the machine is fine and people were playing it all day and winning!!! I asked for a print out which all these games log and was told that these machines don't!!! It's bad enough when your luck is down but when a machine eats right at $200 and the owners won't make it right or do the right thing it's pretty slimy!!! My advice don't go at all and if you do don't put more than $20 at a time!!! That way when they deny the $20 they'll prob watch you put in and not get credited! You wont be out more than $20 It's bad when you have to deal with people of this caliber!!!! There's a reason they don't have a yelp revue until now I had to add it for them!!! I hope this helps out the next person it's a $200 lesson to me!!! I'll go to a more credible establishment after this!!!!

This business started out by selling old and used cartridges for almost every (major) gaming console ever made. The owner has an enormous, almost unbelievable, selection of games you played, games you wish you had played, and some games that you've probably never heard of. What a trip down memory lane. Yeah, the owner had a nice little business selling game an outstanding variety of game console cartridges...and then he got bit by the pinball bug. So, in his store, he has 24 pinball machines, three cabaret style machines (Galaga, Centipede, Ms.Pac Man), two multigame machines (an iCade 60 gamer, and another that features about 100? vertical scrolling Japanese "maniac shooters..." if those are your thing. There's a Crazy Taxi game, too). The pins range in price from 12.5 cents per play (two credits for a quarter, arithmetic wiz), to a buck per play. Here's the key...every game that I played was in good or excellent condition! What an cool variety of games, he has. Newest game? Jurassic Park (2019) by Stern. Flagship game? Dialed In (2017) Limited Edition by Jersey Jack; that's a $9000 dollar machine. Mike P's favorite game? FirePower (1980) by Williams...25 cents per play...just like the machine at Little Cesar's Pizza on Suder Avenue...back in 1980. For an added bonus, ask him to see the collection of video game consoles and microcomputer stuff that he has in his back room. Another trip down memory lane. When in Lima, stop by...after Kewpee's.

The event was "Music by Candlelight", in which the symphony would play inside the church while the place was only lit by candlelight.

The pieces that were played were: Umoja by Valerie Coleman Serenade No.2 Op.16 by Johannes Brahms Serenade, Op.44 by Antonin Dvorak It was a wonderful evening!

Back on March 3, 2024, my family went to the Niswonger Performing Arts Center to see, On Your Feet:…read moreThe Story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan. I bought tickets to see this musical for several reasons. 1) My mother was and is a fan of Gloria Estefan 2) I grew up hearing her music as she always had it on 3) We are from Miami and most importantly 4) I am the son of Cuban immigrants. The story of their family is similar to the story of mine. Coming in, I was wondering If I would enjoy the play. I was sure my mom would, but you never know. I have to say it was one of the best musicals my family and I have ever experienced, and we have seen many. It was wonderful to hear our music played, to see the actors talk about their struggles, struggles we completely understood! The two actresses who played Gloria Estefan (one played a young Gloria another the adult version) had a heck of a voice and passionately conveyed her life, her music, and her beliefs. Their story is the story of America, the struggle of immigrants in a new land. Lots of emotional moments were felt watching it. I was thrilled when the show directly stated that Emilio and Gloria were Americans and half the crowd cheered. My mother wept during the scene showing the life of Gloria's mom the night it was discovered that Batista (the President of Cuba) was leaving the country and Castro was poised to take over. I felt the pain when Gloria talked about her father's death through a slow debilitating condition. I too had to see loved ones go thru different ones and have to take care of them. Again, her families story mirrors mine. It was truly amazing!

Great to see this reopen. We drove up from Dublin to meet family for dinner. The staff was…read moregracious enough to get 12 of us seated pretty quickly. The decor is very nice. Big windows to see outside to the course and the large patio. It was a little too cold to sit outside but looked comfortable. Huge bar area and lots of TVs around. But not obtrusive. Kayla took wonderful care of us. The drinks came quickly. Appetizers followed right behind. The deviled eggs looked great but were gone by the time the plate got to me. The oil and spices they use for dipping bread is sweet and has a lot of flavor. The drinks were poured nicely with a great presentation and flavor. Order the spiked Arnold Palmer - you won't be disappointed. All the dinners were great. Two people got the flatbread and took half home. The blackened chicken sandwich was juicy and the flavors all went well together. The salmon looked great with the cilantro lime rice. We could not be happier with the food, drinks and especially how well Kayla helped us. We will be back!

Mind blown.. Allen County Museum & historical society…read more Of the many county and village museums I've seen in my day, Allen County was really a nice place to visit. They felt like a micro version of Ohio history connection, and daresay.... maybe even better in my opinion, if it were not just segmented to the area itself! You walk in, usually an old person is there to greet you at the front, the exhibits are free, except for one of the victorian houses next to the museum you can tour for a small fee. (We declined this trip) The museum has a lot of excellent exhibits... starting with the founders, their original covered wagon from the 1700s, and other locally celebrated families and events. EXCELLENT curation! The odd, but fascinating: *Someone's doll house replica of George Washington's Mount Vernon -- completed with furnishings, and figures (Takes up an entire room). *John Dillenger exhibit with death mask casting, and his original jail cell in Allen County... WITH a wax replicate of John. *A train -- INSIDE the museum *A fine collection of wagon/hearses *Restored animatronics with taxidermied animals from the late 1800's. Reminded me of the old nickelodeons that amazed and wow'd people from back in the day. The restoration was really amazing. I could go on, but I really hope you'd experience this gem of Northwest OH for yourself! It's really worth the time to stop and visit! Makes the historian in me all giddy just thinking about it!

Given Lima's modest size and relative lack of wealth, the Allen County Museum is impressively large…read moreand pretty amazing. It has enough oddities that it's worth a detour if you're heading up or down I-75 and have an hour or two to spare. I'll acknowledge that the sprawling space is largely filled with a lot of homespun local history that may not interest everyone: models of local grand homes that were demolished long ago, various old furnishings and carriages going back to Ohio's frontier days, many exhibits devoted to Lima's one-time prominence in locomotive manufacturing and as a major railroad hub, and a wall honoring LIma's famous and not-so-famour (Phyllis Diller, Hugh Downs, and a bunch of folks I'd never heard of). But there are at least a few exhibits that warrant the detour: First and foremost are the fascinating, bizarre, and rather macabre animated taxidermy spectacles created by local shoe salesman James Grosjean in the late 1800s and early 1900s. One is a ferris wheel with rotating animals but the craziest is the Noah's Ark exhibit with a recorded biblical narrative and music, the latter probably from the 1970s. The attendant on duty will likely be glad to start these machines up for you, if they're currently in working order. Second, there's a decent section devoted to John Dillinger's confinement in the local jail and his jailbreak, which was accomplished by the murder of the sheriff. Third, there's a Lima history exhibit with model trains, much like the excellent "Cincinnati in Motion" exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center, except that this Lima exhibit is about a tenth of the size. N.B. Apparently due to the sour economy, the museum's hours are limited. On the Tuesday we were there, it did not open until 1pm.
