Obama visits my Hometown!

El Presidente came to town. No, silly, not the Burg, he came to Elyria, my place of origin.
He, along with the presidential entourage caravaned to LCCC (for all of you Non-Lorain County Residents, that is Lorain County Community College). That's right.....Barack Obama came to E-Town baby!!

He actually went to a couple local fixtures in the area. Let's discuss them!
1. SMITTYs Bar:

Location: 94 East Broad Street

Known for: Burgers!!!


Smittys is a Burger joint. Yes, our president eats burgers, with cheese too!! Rightfully so, he has two children, what child doesn't persuade daddy to make a run to Mickey D's every now and them (in their case, tell someone to go for them, and then bring it back still hot). Smitty's has the city-famous, and almost Legen......wait for it.....dary SMITTY Burger. It's an absurd amount of beef and bun put together, and then puts your appetite to the test.



Who did he eat with? Almost overthrown Elyria Mayor Bill Grace. He was almost ousted as Mayor of Elyria a few months back, but after the $50,000 + it cost to get a "re-vote" the same "remaining" outcome prevailed. 50 Gs, its not like we are in a recession or anything.

2. Riddell


Location: 669 Sugar Lane

Known For: Athletic Apparel....in particular helmets in the NFL & baseball/softball helmets too
The Big Boss Man (the real one....not the guy from the WWF) also stopped in at Riddell. They made him a pretty sweet helmet, that he might need to fasten up soon, considering his most recent stimulus package summed to about $150 billion. We'll see how Senate really feels about that huh?


Seriously, when you are the president, you should get your own helmet. I hope it had a number on it....or at least a logo, that would be more than the BROWNS helmets!!



3. LCCC (Lorain County Community College)

Location: 1005 N Abbe Road

Known For: Education


This is where he made his speech and engaged a packed house. The people came out and crammed into LCCC, and marveled at what he had to say. I would say more, but why? I saw it on CSPAN!! That's right Elyria was on CSPAN. Shout out to my girl Lydia!! I saw you girl!!
