Things to do along I-75 N/S to and from the Detroit area (2 of 2)…read more I had to slow down the clock and spend a little time here. The real destination was Detroit. That said, I had coffee at one place, ate a meat loaf lunch at another, pawed the car windows and did some test sitting at a few dealerships, drove around the University of Toledo campus (which I didn't know is a very good school for STEM disciplines), and put the cherry on top of these few hours by visiting the Toledo Botanical Garden. I walked the garden and took photos. It was warm and humid, so I didn't really relax and sit a spell. Like many public gardens, the Toledo Botanical Garden, out toward the western end of the city, mixes up formal garden spaces with European cues and more organic spaces, meaning they are natural in affect and display very little rigid planning. I was fairly amazed how, as you moved along, these different vistas came into view. Everything was cohesively put together and you could enjoy the different environments they've curated for you. The Toledo Botanical Garden is part of the city metro park system, which I learned from other reviews. Thus, being under this umbrella might mean that the park is free of charge ... and it is! For this aspect and for delivering more than I had expected, having pulled it from a "top things to do" list, I believe the Toledo Botanical Garden handily earns 5 stars.

The little town of Blissfield is located in the same county in Michigan as our residence (Lenawee…read moreCounty). It's a place that's grown on me over the past couple of years. It's a little isolated as it's nowhere near a freeway (though it's on US223)...but that's part of its charm. We'll occasionally drive here for a half-day of enjoyment. Blissfield is a town of just over 3000 people and nothing of major historical significance has ever occurred here. So it's not a place where you'd expect to find a lot of high-profile things to do. And with that in view, you won't be disappointed or overly surprised to find out that's accurate. Having said that, however, Blissfield is a pleasant place to hang out for a morning or an afternoon. Blissfield's claims to fame, such as they are, are the antiques. While those are the major attractions, there's a bit more to it than that. To create the ambiance for a nice day on the town, strolling the vintage, diminutive one-block downtown area is a great start. As mentioned, there are a couple of antique shops that could keep you occupied for hours if you're into that sort of thing (and we are). There's a small Depot Museum with a few open hours on Saturdays that could be a fun stop. There are also several boutique shops on Lane St. that are worth patronizing. My favorite is The Packrat where you can find some fun stuff. One of the best things to do in Blissfield is to spend time in their two lovely parks, Ellis Park and Bachmeyer Park, that straddle opposite sides of the River Raisin. These parks are also where the River Raisin Festival takes place, with its carnival-like atmosphere. There's a Bluegrass Festival that also takes place in Bachmeyer Park. I've never been to it but have heard good things. There are some good restaurants in town. Lena's serves up good Italian fare. And their canopy-covered side patio is great in the summer. Beckey's offers some great comfort food, especially with the specialty sweet breads that they feature. Blissfield Coney Island downtown also offers comfort fare in a vintage space. Starling Lounge is a good coffee shop by day and a bar by night. And Emmy's Kitchen presents some wonderful baked treats. Because of lack of proximity to a highway and no major business in town, there are no hotels in Blissfield. But there are a couple of B&Bs that are interesting. The H.D. Ellis Inn and the Blissfield Bed and Breakfast both look like nice places to spend a weekend. Blissfield could be a lovely place to spend a bit of time. Hopefully, this review gives some thoughts that could help with that.

We rented out the banquet hall and the grassy area with the barn for our wedding. The banquet hall…read morecame with access to the board room and a kitchen area that has a large fridge and a heating cabinet. There aren't any stoves or ovens but there is a decent amount of space as well as a couple of serving windows that face one of the doors to the banquet hall. We got a really good deal for them, but we also rented during the week and I imagine the weekend price is a little higher. The grassy area is a little small, but there is still plenty of space to set up a nice sized event. The barn is a nice blank slate that you can do anything with to jazz it up. Our only complaint about the barn is that one of the doors is painted this really ugly color that makes it stand out in a bad way. You could argue it's rustic, and you can hide it or take attention away from it, but we would have like it to be painted another color. There is no electric at the barn, so if you need power you will have to run extension cords or have battery powered devices. The banquet hall itself is quite large with plenty of space for a large group, or a medium group to have a large dancing area with food tables. We elected to put our food tables in the hall just to maximize space, and there was still plenty of walking space in the hallway. The hallway also has a really nice fireplace with 2 chairs that makes for a great photo spot. The boardroom is a generous size with more electrical outlets than I could see you ever needing. It has a nice sized table and some semi-comfortable chairs. I'm not sure what you have to do to get permission to use but there is also a firepit outside, and that is next to an old post office building that is petite and makes for another great photo spot. Since the community center gets used quite often most of our vendors had been there before and that made it really easy to get them set up. There were some other rooms available and a courtyard area, I can't comment on those but the place itself has a lot to offer and is great for whatever event you need to host!

I didn't look at the other rooms but I posted pictures of the Metzger Room that we rented. The day that we had our party, there was a wedding reception in the banquet hall and a graduation party in the other rooms. Mary and Connie were the contact people and were friendly and nice to work with. They seem pretty flexible and willing to work with your needs. The rental fees were reasonable and it's great because they allow you to bring your own food/caterer. They do require a deposit for damages but they are really fast at returning it after your event. The Metzger room had a fridge and sink which was convenient for preparing food, etc for the party. And it connected to an outdoor patio space. The room was a bit hot on the day we were there & there didn't seem to be a way to control the air but overall the room fit our need.

Not to be confused with Wyse Guys in Montpelier, the store in West Unity also has an arcade...a damned good one at that. I like this place for several reasons: First the obvious: Wyse Guys has great food! Great pizza, great dessert pizza, and great salads. Wings? I wouldn't know. I don't get wings at pizza joints. Great decor! Check out all the all music, sports, TV, and film memorabilia that adorns the walls! Of course, there's the pinball, as well a limited number of golden age video games. (Note to owner: a multigame machine would be a great addition). The pinball tables span 4 decades and are in great shape. You can tell the owner cares. Bottom line? Do yourself a favor: The next time you feel like taking a ride in the country, head west, and stop at Wyse Guys. Five Stars!
