Then onto the Hoover District
It is always fun to return to that wonderful place on Maple Street.

My annual trip to N Canton

Then we went onto the Hoover Historical Center
The real live museum on the grounds of Walsh University. Tom and I met two new tour guides, Kathy and Christine. It was great to roam through the whole place once more. I always feel welcome there.

Here we are singing the Hoover song
"All the dirt, all the grit"...

Time to leave
Seems like we just get started, and before you know it... The SUV is filled to the brim. Do SUVs have brims? All sorts of treasures will be leaving North Canton for the first time. Weather was perfect. Hosts were wonderful. All is well in the world. Hope you enjoyed my trip as much as I did. Talk more when I return home and have to unload this vehicle before I return it on Monday. Back to reality! To take that one photo, I had to hold the items in place so that they would not fall out. Suffice to say, I have acquired a few items on this trip.

Thanks for the Trip!
John,
Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures of your trip with everyone.
It is wonderful to see someone have such PURE JOY with their hobby and your
enthusiasm reaches each who reads and views your trip posts.
It is almost like being in Ohio with you.
You are one happy guy when close to Hoover, and it comes through.
And I THOUGHT I really liked my 47 year old Dial-A-Matic!!!!

Thanks, you'r very kind.
It is GREAT to always be welcome back in that town. I see very friendly, familiar faces when I visit. It is great to truly share the passion of that company with others. The Andersons are always so kind to me as well.

annual visits to north canton
for me, late may seems to be me goto for visting Tom, Heather, and "hooverland" as i call it. i go there after going to "the happiest place on earth" Cedar Point in Sandusky.
i knew tom about 4 years before i met him in person last year, and him and heather treat me like family. its always fun seeing all the internal coporate stuff he's amassed over the years, enjoying and playing with his collection, and seeing the hoover plant and junking in town.
it feels "right" there to me. people are so friendly and warm in ohio a stark contrast to dfw. so much so im moving to ohio in a couple of years. itll be nice visit Tom regularly and even say hello to you John and get some more of that great pittston hospital iced tea and visit your nice home too.

You like that tea?? lololo
Some love it, some hate it, others just make fun of it/me. It's quite OK. There will be loads of it here when the convention "comes East".

I have wonderful reading from 1970s, '80s, and 90s. A "Treasure trove" of accurate HOOVER news. All HOOVER.

Hard to believe it was a week ago already
I now have wonderful framed photos of: the main plant, the international building, the Industrial Park, AND all of the factories around the world! Simply AMAZING. well, for those who like Hoover. (Genuinely like Hoover. not saying so publicly, but honestly having no use for the brand).
These will proudly be on display in my home during the convention in Scranton.
