Geneva, OH

There is so much more to do and see at the Geneva Public Library... Today we had to go to the library with mommy she had home work to do. So me and daddy went along for the ride. And we found all kinds of fun things at the library. They have a big tree you can climb in and some mirrors to make you look funny and games to play.

They even have the very first traffic light that was put up in Geneva there on display. There are lots of computers and toys and people to help you. And they even have books too.

You have to be quite at the library mommy says me and daddy were kind of loud but we don't think so we were just having some fun. We have some photos of our day at the library below to share with you.

So if you ever want to have some fun or even read a book come to the Geneva library with me and daddy but you got to remember to be quite or you will hear " keep it down please" or "shhhhh"........peace Matty

The Geneva Public Library is located at 860 Sherman Street Geneva, Ohio 44041 (440) 466-9268

and if you are looking to buy, sell or rent in the Geneva , Ohio area give me a call......peace zane

So you have some money and you want to invest it. Well where is the best place to put it? You have lots of option's on that but you need to make the best choice for your goals... how long do you want to wait for your return on your money? 1 year 2, 5, 20 years? and what are you doing it for? Retirement ? To supplement your income now? Or just to get out of the line of work your in now? What do you want your money to do for you?

Before you answer any of the questions read some of the history on stocks, savings banks, collector cars, and real estate investments. Decide when you want your money or how long it has to sit and what are the cost involved.....Yep they all are going to cost you something. You need to know when to sell, cash in, or just let go.

you can come out even or lose it all or make some and if your lucky you can make a fortune...

If you put your money in this bank

Philadelphia Savings Fund Society Founded in 1816, the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society was the first savings bank to organize and do business in the United States..............You would be bankrupt

If you put your money in the stock market

Stocks The stock or capital stock of a business entity represents the original capital paid or invested into the business by its founders. It serves as a security for the creditors of a business since it cannot be withdrawn to the detriment of the creditors. Stock is distinct from the property and the assets of a business which may fluctuate in quantity and value..............you have a 70% chance you would be bankrupt

If you had your money in this company....

Enron was an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. Before its bankruptcy in late 2001, Enron employed approximately 22,000^] and was one of the world's leading electricity, natural gas, pulp and paper, and communications companies, with claimed revenues of nearly $101 billion in 2000...................99% chance you have nothing left at all and if you were in upper management your getting free room and board and 3 meals a day....

If you bought a Ford Model A for $385 on Dec 2 1927

Ford Model A The Ford Model A (1927-1931) was the second huge success for the Ford Motor Company, after its predecessor, the Model T. First produced on October 20, 1927, but not sold until December 2 Prices for the Model A ranged from US$385 for a roadster to $1400 for the top-of-the-line Town Car....................you could sell it today for around 25-30k but thats a long wait.

And if you invested in real estate today ? Well give me a call this maybe your best option

Real Estate Investment refers to buying and selling real estate with an intention to profit in the process. While it's never too late to get started in real estate investing, it is a mistake to keep putting it off because you think the time isn't right. If you are serious about building a portfolio that will allow you to maintain some financial independence and possibly retire with a comfortable nest egg or even retire early, it's important that you get started now

so if you are looking to buy, sell, or rent in the Geneva area give me a call

"Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages" and "the greatest show on earth" You all know what those phrases mean, everyone knows what they are for Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey but what if it wasn't the greatest show on earth ( circus show)......what if another show was the greatest......But was taken out by sickness and a tragic event?

Well let me fill you in....Back in the late 1800's early 1900's there were a lot of traveling circuses roaming the USA and the world for that matter.

In 1896 Geneva Ohio had a population of three thousand. They had five churches, two railroads running through the town. There was a bicycle factory, a piano factory, a Metal Wheel Works. Two banks, two groceries, one dry goods store, two clothing establishments, two hardware stores, three jewelers, two bakeries, two meat markets, two drug stores, a flour mill, a laundry, a firm of funeral directors, the telephone system, the electric light company and the Walter Main Circus Headquarters, that noted showman who made his winter quarters in Geneva.

Yep Geneva was home Headquarters to a traveling circus The Walter L Main Circus was right here in Geneva, Ohio. As a matter of fact their winter home was on my road....so named Walter Main Rd...so at one time over 100 years ago I had a circus right on my street.

But like a lot of business sometimes unforeseen things happen and they have to fold up. Like a bad train wrecks and sickness. News paper report about the auction....

A CIRCUS TRAIN IN A WRECK; WALTER H. MAIN'S SHOW BADLY USED UP. SEVEN KILLED AND NINETEEN INJURED The Cars Went Down a Steep Grade and Over an Embankment. LIONS AND TIGERS GOT LOOSE. Fifty Horses Were Killed Outright, and Others Were so Injured that They Will Have to be Killed -- The Elephants and Camels Safe -- Many Animals Es- caped to the Woods -- A Tiger Made for a Farmhouse and Killed a Cow, Being in Turn Killed by the Farmer.

Yes sometimes thing happen that are out of our control. But we still have the history and the memories. And I still live on a street that once housed a famous traveling circus......peace zane
