Colliseum has been demolished
I inhaled plenty of cow manure fumes there.
And sheep shit and pig dung and BO from other humans. And I don't really miss it. If anyone does, head up to Armada, Imlay City or down to Belleville in late summer.Quote:

Sullying the name of the precious Orange Julius... for shame...:rolleyes:Quote:

Demolition of the State Fair Coliseum began in January 2022. What remains is a portion of the building that will be included in a small park where the Coliseum stood. Another waste of historic building.
Which smelled worse animal droppings or human BO?Quote:

It was vile.

Há Ohio is the pig farmer state,try driving through the rural parts and hold your breath for 100 miles.
One of my chores when I lived on a farm in New England was to clean the pig pen. If you have this job, it means you're the low man on the totem pole. If there's more than one pig pen, it means you've died and gone to hell. The vapors literally can render you unconscious. If that happens, the hogs will eat you. The trick to surviving this chore is to hold your breath while you're in the pig pen -- you've got to work fast.Quote:
