My wife's birthday is coming up, and she suggested a little cottage by Mansfield. I've never been to the town, matter of fact neither of us have, but were looking for some interesting things to do and see. As well as a decent restaurant to have dinner. Not looking for anything over the top, as we will be doing a nice dinner for her in Cincinnati before leaving the next day. Plans were to have lunch in Columbus, then go to Mansfield and check in. Put things down and away, and then head out. Fellow BPers, do you have any advice???
 
Mid-Ohio Race course; depending on the weekend.
Pleasant Hill and Mohican aren't too far
The mall in Ontario has a hospital attached to it. It's weird.
Ohio State Reformatory (Shawshank) as stated above.
Kingwood Center Gardens is decent to kill a few hours if youre into that.
Malabar Farm and nearby Mt Jeez are pretty cool.
There is two Walmarts. Two Kroger, but only go to one of them.
Downtown Mansfield isn't 'great' but there are some decent food and drink choices in the carousel area worth checking out.

Let's see, what else.

- You can drive a 1988 Ford Aerostar mini van unironically and no one will think much about it.
- Visit Mary Jane's Grave - You must also be smoking the Mary Jane
- Eat at Porky's Drive in
- Cruise the Strip on Saturday night on Park Avenue West in your Pontiac Fiero GT
- Get a Deluxe Sub from Leaning Tower Pizza (OK, this one I'm not actually kidding about and if you're like 20 bucks for a sub in Mansfield? Spend the fucking money)
- Drink Draft beers at the Red Fox Tavern and listen to Vietnam Vets tell you why the original version of the M-16 was a piece of shit (also feel better about yourself until you realize you're doing the same thing they are, no links, they don't know what the internet is its on Marion Avenue I think)
- Go to Crestline Ohio and visit the place where Abe Lincolns funeral train stopped in 1865. (Also if you hit the railroad crossing there at about 80, you can fly about 100 feet and kill yourself crashing on the other side. This has been tested)
- Join the Liederkranz Club!
- If you're into this kind of thing you can check out the final fridays free concerts at the brickyard and hang out with people who did all the stuff above already that day. (my Step sister actually runs this event maybe still I think)
- Visit Cypress Hill winery and their undergaround cellars dinner thingamabob (Run by my old friend Rick Taylor maybe still)
- Don't go to Shelby, Buckeyebri is from there
- Rent a boat at Charles Mill Marina (or Pleasant Hill) both owned by my buddy Mr Shraedly who I have known for 35 years.
- Get a C2 Corvette fabricated from the ground up at Coffman corvette, run by a dude named Clint, who I went to HS with and is a great guy.
- If you need some hardware and a sandwich https://www.facebook.com/LikeOGS/
- If You like Old wood boats instead of Corvettes: https://www.lymanboat.com/
- Do some necking at the Springmill Twin Drive In (down the road from Ohio State Mansfield)
