Canton, Ohio

Home of The Pro Football Hall Of Fame

Home of President William McKinley

The McKinley monument is in the park system where President McKinley and his wife and children are buried.


Canton was also known as "Little Chicago" back in the 1920`s and 30`s because of the gangsters that used to come here to hide out.

Squeaky clean home to Ivory Soap



I love the irony of 'squeaky clean' Ivory Soap.

Marilyn Chambers was the mother who appeared on the Ivory Soap box in the early 1970's at the age of 17.

Marilyn Chambers also starred in the first 'hardcore' porn called "Behind the Green Door" in 1972.

Don't you love it? :laughing:

Having two meanings for the word tinny get me all confused! :laughing:


yep most things have more than one word for it....

A tinny is a small boat...a runabout...I think you call them.

It's also, an old name for a can of beer..they used to be in tin, rather than aluminium.

Most people have beer in glass bottles now, and call them stubbies.
