Statues of Miami County, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 7, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Statues represent a great deal of things including events, historical locations and famous people. When you live in an area so rich in history like we do it is easy to find some statues that help tell the story of your towns past. While driving out and about for the #30Places30Days travel challenge I found two statues right in town that I had forgotten all about. See it’s easy to go through your normal routine or your normal route to work or run errands and forget what unusual things are right in your own neck of the woods!

Right downtown on High Street, near the old Piqua Daily Call which is now Winan’s Chocolates and Coffees headquarters, is a statue located near a sign stating “Veterans Memorial Way”. Big Red and Lil’ Red were the only kids with me for this adventure so Big Red stood by this sign.

Linear Park Bike Path Piqua, Ohio #30Places30Days #BikePiqua

May 5, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Our city has been developing and paving on the bike path for the last decade I believe. Honestly we have never walked or rode the entire loop but Eldest and Princess went on a short ride to Lock Nine and back. They rode together and had a cell phone in case of an emergency while on the bike path.

We do not suggestion children under the age of 12 ride without adults and definitely NOT without a buddy! Since they were familiar with the area and how to get to the bike path and back home I felt comfortable allowing them to go by themselves. I would love to ride as a family but we are still getting enough bikes in the correct sizes for everyone. Big Red and Lil’ Red do not ride without training wheels. Our goal this Summer is to help teach Big Red how to ride without training wheels so we can enjoy the bike path as a family!

Jackson Cemetery Piqua, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 4, 2017 By Thaleia 2 Comments

One of the most historical cemeteries in my area I would say has to be the Jackson Cemetery. It was part of the town that was called Rossville and where the Randolph Slaves from Virgina came and settled after being deemed free. You can faintly see the word “African” above the Jackson Cemetery sign which is beginning to fade over time.

Barn Quilts Miami County, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 3, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Barn Quilts have popped up quite a bit over the last decade or so. Many times they are created for a specific purpose like a Centennial or Bicentennial celebration. Each Barn Quilt design has a name and some have their own story behind the reason a particular design was chosen!

Special Needs Playground Piqua, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 2, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

It just so happens that our city put in a Special Needs Playground sometime in the last year or so. It is right next to the municipal pool and sports complex.

A brightly colored fence that resembles pencils greets each visitor. The dome climbing house is great for gross motor skills both inside and out.

There’s also a sign right near the entrance stating what the park is about. I like that it states”varying abilities” and includes adult supervision.
