Louisville - a pretty 'suburb' of Alliance
Bwana_Brown Says: This view of the downtown crossroads of Louisville is not all that complimentary. However, having at least a few old brick buildings with a bit of class lining the streets looked much better in real life! On my drives into Louisville I noticed that the houses were all very...
Bwana_Brown Says: I had enjoyed the forested nature of the rolling countryside of Ohio as I drove down from Cleveland, so when I wrapped up my first day at the transformer plant in Louisville (my 'OTBP' tip), I decided to take a 'scenic' route back to Alliance. To tell the truth, I never even...
Bwana_Brown Says: By far, the most impressive thing I saw in this part of Ohio was Glamorgan Castle, an amazing relic of a by-gone era when grand estates were built on European models by the 'new-rich' barons of American industrialism. When I heard that I would be making a business trip that...
Bwana_Brown Says: These views give a glimpse or two of the beauty of the grounds surrounding Glamorgan Castle, including large mature trees, decorative ponds, old brick driveways and neatly laid out plans for the lawns. It took quite a bit of doing to achieve these views because, after being...
Bwana_Brown Says: I had flown out of Regina, Saskatchewan at 6 AM (which is 8 AM in Ohio) and only grabbed a mango yoghurt drink and an apple as I changed flights in Minnesapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Arriving at 1:15 PM in Cleveland, I decided to just get my rental car sorted and then clear...
Grinders, Above & Beyond: Seemed to be a local favourite
Bwana_Brown Says: On my only lunch day at the MTC Transformers plant, one of the guys took me on the short drive into downtown Louisville, just up the hill from the railway tracks on Main Street (I guess the transformer plant is located beside the tracks so they could handle shipments of...
Texas Roadhouse: This place was hopping!
Bwana_Brown Says: Luckily for me, the guys I was meeting that night did not want to eat until about 7:30 PM, so that gave me a chance to digest my earlier meal at Applebee's! They were locals and suggested that Texas Roadhouse would be a great spot for some steak, so I said it sounded fine to...
Bwana_Brown Says: I asked our office staff to arrange something small and simple for a rental car regarding this trip and they made a good selection with this little Chevrolet Cobalt from Enterprise, which I picked up at the Cleveland, Ohio airport. It actually was so simple that it did not...
A wild lightning, rain and wind storm!
Bwana_Brown Says: Thanks to the scenic route I took from Louisville back to Alliance on my second day in town, I ended up getting lost in the maze of streets at 5 PM rush-hour while the rain pelted down, the wind howled and giant bolts of lightning flashed/boomed almost simultaneously as they...
A High-Voltage Transformer facility
Bwana_Brown Says: I was in the Alliance/Louisville area on company business, so most of my waking time was spent at the MTC Transformers Inc. rewind, repair facility in Louisville. This old building was formerly owned by General Electric but was purchased by new owners a few years ago when GE...
Brought back memories of the 2003 Blackout!
Bwana_Brown Says: At the end of the first day of tests at the Louisville transformer plant, I took a 'scenic' route back to Alliance as I drove through the rolling and tree-covered countryside. While cruising along, I could not help but notice this 345,000-volt line as it crossed the highway....

Glamorgan Castle is the star of Alliance
In late June, 2008 I had a short 3-day business trip to northeastern Ohio so made the most of it by keeping my eyes open to take in the countryside as I drove along. However, the real star of the...
