City of the Week: East Sparta, Ohio
Maybe I've been watching a bit too much Spartacus lately, but when I saw that one of our top visitors this past week was Sparta (I know, Thracian, not Spartan) ... anyway, I got a little excited. Turns out it was actually East Sparta, Ohio, but at least I got to learn about another new place this week. It's a pretty small village in northeast Ohio (population 806 according to wikipedia). Neither wikipedia nor their own website has much else to say about them, but we're happy to have them as visitors!
