I have no idea where it is because the leaves don't know that it is Autumn around here with temperatures in the 80's the week. I live in Ohio. It must be in Canada or the upper Northeastern US. Happy Spring, AS. Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

The normally see those kind of colors along the northern east coast, like Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and some in Kentucky and Tennessee like up in the mountains. So I've seen in books and television. Arkansas has pretty fall foliage up in the mountains. Everyone have a wonderful day!

Hi PW, my husband is in Ohio in a place called Perrysburg and works in Bowling Green (funny name for a town ;) - you may be neighbours. I am still praying that he will find the happiness he is seeking. More hugs.

According to Wiki, Bowling Green, Ohio was first settled in 1832, was incorporated as a town in 1855, and became a city in 1901. The village was named after Bowling Green, Kentucky by a retired postal worker who had once delivered mail there.
With regard to Bowling Green, Kentucky, Wiki says: Some controversy exists over the source of the town's name. The city itself follows the first county commissioners' meeting (1798), which named the town "Bolin Green" after the Bowling Green in New York City where patriots had pulled down a statue of King George III and used the lead to make bullets during the American Revolution. Some historians dispute this, however, and credit Bowling Green, Virginia, or a personal "ball alley game" of Robert Moore's instead. Early records indicate that the city name was also spelled "Bowlingreen".

Not familiar with Perrysburg, but I do know Bowling Green. And yes we have some very funny names for towns - many of them are Native American names like Coshocton, Wapakineta. In Coshocton, there is a street called White Woman Street, named for a white lady kidnapped by and then married to an Indian chief [native American, not the country of India].
Pennsylvania, which has almost as many Amish settlers as Ohio has some unusual names for towns also: Bird-in-Hand, and Intercourse, PA. I am originally from Pennsylvania and lived as a young boy on Pumphouse Road in Oil City, PA. The house is no longer there.

Since the event of Google maps, I looked up many addresses where I once lived and only one house is no longer there. It was in Hamilton, Ontario and looks as though it was demolished and replaced by a factory of some sort. But it was good to take a walk down memory lane and I now have a folder with pictures of the houses in it. Perrysburg is about 20 mins drive from Bowling Green, Freemont Pike is the road. Hugs.

AS, He lives in northwest Ohio and I live in southeast Ohio, so we are probably 200 miles apart. I just looked it up on Google Maps and we are between 199 and 201 miles apart. I was guessing about the 200 miles, but wasn't too far apart. lol
