LIES!
48224 is completely outside the path of the total eclipse of 2024.
No CORONA for you!
No awesome display of celestial magnificence! (although it WILL get pretty dark there)

Is it an eclipse or the end of days?

Anyone want to rent a room for the small cost of…….?
Directions might be a bit over-the-top, you think?

I thought I was coming in here to hear about some lunatic ripping through the streets in an ugly 90's FWD

Living in New England, we will have some options if we want to view the eclipse. I'm sure all the hotels will be reasonable in pricing...

Do you think will cause coronaphotoexcitation? What will the whales say or the mice? That's half of 42?
It's very puzzling.

That's what Ohio is preparing for. THey're putting the money towards pedestrian and highway safety during the eclipse. They're expecting a large influx of tourists which brings extra traffic and people doing strange things.

Looks like the area near Burlington, VT would likely be the best bet for you.

In 2017 I saw the eclipse from Gallatin, TN, right on the centerline. It was pretty awesome but traffic WAS a PITA.
