    Those are all shitholes that aren't worth visiting. Who is going to pick up from BG and go to Lima to do stuff? Nobody, that's who.

    What time do they close? My schedule sucks. I would not be able to go there until close to 10:00 p.m.
  • Ironman92
    I think on Fri or Sat they'd be open until 11:00 or so I 'd guess.
  • Ironman92
    There you go

    How long would it take me to get from the Convo Center to Pizza Crozzing? (Mapquest, derp)

    I'd give yourself a half hour, unless the Nelsonville by-pass is done. I haven't been down that way for awhile.

    Pretty sure it is done

    Looking at a map, I may be better to look in Lancaster for a hotel (if there are nicer ones).

    You'll be looking at an hour drive.

    And there probably aren't nicer ones

    Which is why I also mentioned Toledo.

    30-40 minutes, Nelsonville bypass is done and they bumped the speed limit on that section up to 70 to boot.

    Pizza Crossing is in the middle, closer to Lancaster than Athens

    Toledo is also not worth visiting.

    MOST college kids aren't willing to drive 20+ minutes to go somewhere. They wander about the town that's available to them.

    Hence, in that regard, OU = BGSU

    You're looking at 30 minutes even with the bypass done.

    Talking about the drive from Lancaster to Athens.

    My comparison is valid. They're big schools in small towns.

    I wasn't comparing populations; I was talking about the 'veracity of partying', so to speak. :)

    I was moreso comparing environments. I can't imagine schools "party harder" than others... You just need to know where to do it.

    You say that as if you never went to Wright State.

    lol - who would purposely go to that school?

    The Hotels in Lancaster are no better than the ones in Athens
  • ts1227
    The only real "nice" one (read:more than 3 stars) would be the Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg
  • TedSheckler
    The closest 5 star places are in Logan. The Shawnee Inn or the Inn Towner. Classy joints.
  • Enforcer
    If He wants something really nice, He should check out some Cabins in the Hocking Hills area, They are nice, Private and that time of year won't be that much more than a Hotel
  • ts1227
    Only bad part about cabins is they're almost always a 2 night minimum. Not sure if he's only planning to stay overnight Friday or both nights.
