Travel To My Home Town

I grew up in Hayesville, Ohio.  Just about an hour between the cities of Cleveland and Columbus.  My parent's home was about half a mile from the Elementary School. Both of my parents attended this school and both of them graduated from it also.  

 I use to walk to school everyday with the older neighbor kids.  Actually, walking/running to keep up would be more accurate. On our way I always passed this building, which I thought was creepy and absolutely haunted, everyday.  But, common on, when your 6 or 7, who doesn't think something like this would be creepy?  Anyway, the creepy, haunted building had an official name of The Old Vermillion Institute, but we liked to just call it the "old academy". 

Our town had the usual quirky things to add to their  history.  

Such as the half-buried VW Beetle car. I never knew the true story of why it was buried.  But, I have heard many, many ghost stories of why they did it.  You know it's kinda funny!! But, I never cared at all about it, until I've gotten older.  And now, I've always wondered the significance of it.  

The town hasn't changed drastically over time.  But, there are some new additions like a donut shop and a sandwich shop that has bulk items.
