City view

Not to be outdone by the city views from my brothers' apartments in NJ & NYC, here's a shot of the Key Tower in downtown Cleveland taken from my condo in Twinsburg.



Granted it's no NYC skyline, and I only have this view when the trees don't have any leaves on them, but it's still neat to see the tallest building in Ohio from my front window.

In case you're wondering, the Key Tower is just over 17 miles away from my condo.

Foxy

I've spotted a lot of wildlife in my backyard but was still impressed to see a red fox hanging out behind my condo this weekend.

Scary Scene in Twinsburg

This weekend there was a horrific accident on Route 91 outside of my neighborhood. Luckily, we had made a Swenson's run, and were well clear of the area at the time of the accident. However, on arriving home, Rt 91 was closed and I had to take the back way into my development.

Stephanie noticed that there was crime scene tape roping off the area through the trees near Rt 91, so we walked out to see what was going on.

We found a gruesome scene - four cars completely destroyed, 12 police cars from all over the area, and a huge stretch of road roped off with police tape.

We found out from onlookers that an elderly man had been driving northbound on Rt 91 when he suffered a heart attack (or some other health problem) and lost control of his vehicle. He struck 3 other vehicles before careening off the road and into a hill that separates the road from the nearby houses.

We watched the swarm of police investigate the scene (including brining in a firetruck to lift a police photographer high in the air to take aerial shots of the cars) until they were about to remove the body of the elderly man...which we didn't need to see.

Twinsburg ranked again

Twinsburg has been ranked again, this time in a national magazine.

In Money Magazine's Best Places to Live ranking, Twinsburg came in at #93/100.

The only other Ohio cities on the list are Gahanna, Mason, Beavercreek, Highland Heights, and Westerville.

Twinsburg's ranked #5

Cleveland Magazine recently released their annual ranking of the top Cleveland suburbs. Twinsburg, where I'm going to be moving in a few weeks, made it to the top 5. Only behind some VERY nice (and VERY expensive) suburbs.
