A Road to the Past

Dear Readers, Thank you for bearing with me! When I started this blog, I hoped to post more frequently than I have been. A once-a-month frequency was what I expected of myself. Except that grad school happened and got in the way for a good two years. But it's nice to see that people are interested in what signs I find and what research I produce.

So help me out and send me some more interesting history/information! EDIT: A source told me that if you ever visit Toledo, eat all the Middle Eastern food, go visit the zoo (second best in the country!) and check out the art museum. See?? The Midwest is interesting!
