A friend told me every person they've ever met from Eaton, Ohio, is insane. Like, even more insane than me. I investigated these reports and can confirm Preble County to be the (flatter) West Virginia of southwest Ohio.
Some things I enjoyed on the excursion:
- Old Schoolhouse Winery. An 1890s schoolhouse converted into a winery. Talk about an upgrade!
- Buckeye Jake's in West Alexandria. Order the "crazy fries." They're dusted with Henny Penny Flour, and worth the iron tax deep-fried food puts on the ol' intestinal tract.
