Red Blue Road Trip - Ashland, Ohio - Oct 20 - Part 3
- 12 years ago
Ashland, the self-described World Headquarters of Nice People is the county seat of one of the key counties in Ohio, perhaps the most important state in the 2008 presidential election. It is usually reliably Republican and the local university hosted George W. Bush on October 7. A day earlier the town's Archway Cookie plant closed eliminating local 275 jobs. It is the fourth major plant closure in Ashland in recent years.
