Waldo, Ohio



The back of a Waldo, OH postcard reads:

Waldo - a quiet village of 350 located a short distance north
of Columbus, Ohio is home to several popular venues where
motorcycle enthusiasts and tourists alike can partake of the
infamous bologna sandwiches and wines from the local vineyards.






A deserted elementary school... I think it was deserted?
Where's the famous bologna??






This town hall was located in what seemed to be the main
intersection in Waldo. It included the town hall, a post office,
the Village Tavern, and the G&R Tavern (famous for bologna).






The Village Tavern... We didn't go in, but I may go back one day for one of their
ostrich burgers, home made pork rinds, or some of that pure gourmet Waldo honey.
























So finally, here it is... the G&R Tavern, famous for its liberal
use of bologna. I'm not kidding when I say that their bologna
is 3/4 of an inch thick. Let's go inside and see what's shaking...












OH MAN! Yea, that's a fat bologna sandwich. Let me break this down for you.
From the top down, you're looking at a fresh tasty bun, mustard, onions, sweet
pickles, jack cheese, a generous portion of bologna, and yes there is a bottom
bun under there somewhere. It's sliced down the middle for your convenience,
and we added a side of fries. We were on a tight budget and just had water, but
the G&R is a tavern and I bet a light beer would compliment this sandwich nicely.

The folks at the G&R were really great, they even allowed me to take
photographs in their kitchen. Unfortunately, the kitchen photos did not
come out. We left Waldo and headed north towards Detroit, Michigan.

We came across this Islamic center on the edge of Toledo. It was just
so unlike anything we'd seen for 500 miles. I had to take a picture.

Onward to Detroit...
