10 Things That Perfectly Describe Maumee, Ohio

I have spent a majority of my life living in Maumee, Ohio. It is a small little town right outside Toledo, Ohio. It's a great place to live and explore. There are so many little things that represent this town and I want to share them.

1. The Maumee River

This river is the border between Maumee and Perrysburg. The water eventually travels all the way to Lake Erie. It the probably the most well known landmark in Maumee. It is a great place to fish.

2. The Maumee Indoor Theater

This iconic building is located near downtown. They show movies for a low price, host events and is the location for many plays put on by local schools. It is also the inspiration for one of the Maumee Snapchat filters.

3. Downtown

Downtown Maumee is small, but cute. There are so many different shops and restaurants to go to. During Christmastime, the entire downtown is decorated and it looks beautiful.

4. Sidecut Metropark

Located along the Maumee River, Sidecut Park has many attractions for people of all ages. There are trails to hike and bike on. There is a playground for children. In the winter, there is a large sledding hill for people to go down along with an outdoor ice skating rink.

5. The Shops at Fallen Timbers

This the main mall if you live in Maumee. It is a cute little outdoor mall with stores like American Eagle, Dillards, and Victoria's Secret.

6. Fallen Timbers Battlefield

Another park in Maumee is the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, the memorial site of 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers. There's lots of history there and you mostly like went there for a field trip in grade school.

7. The Andersons

This local store is the perfect place to go buy food and other home items. Everyone knows where The Andersons is and probably know the family who lives in Toledo. But sadly, they will be closing their stores during the summer for good.

8. Maumee Sportsmall

Do you like mini-golf and baseball? I used to go here all the time to play mini-golf and use the batting cages.

9. Lucas County Fairgrounds

Home to the Lucas County Fair in July. It is also the location of the famous Rib-Off where local restaurants sell ribs and host concerts.

10. Wabash Cannonball Trail

This is a 63 mile bike and walking trail that goes through Maumee. It is paved and a beautiful walk that can take you to The Shops at Fallen Timbers or through small towns like Whitehouse, Ohio.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
