Brunswick, Ohio: A little town nestled outside of Cleveland. Brunswick is filled with wonderful homes and even better people. I am proud to say I'm from Brunswick, and if you relate to these signs, you may be too!

If you didn't roll up to school or football games without a Polar, you were doing life wrong. Polar runs were the best runs.
