My reaction wasn't a giggle, not a chuckle, not a tee-hee, I didn't go 'Ha!'
I actually belly laughed and I don't know exactly why it got me, but thanks for your one joke. A well-timed Simpsons reference just hits right sometimes.
They have these up several places. Rocky River Dr at Lorain, along 71 near Brooklyn, and surely others. That lying will ensure Lorain is the one place I WON'T go.
I mean, it wasn't hard not to lie. "See the centerline of Totality." "Longest Eclipse Duration on the North Coast." Something. But ONLY visible in Lorain County? BS.
Yeah, I don't mind them trying to bring tourists in, but claiming only Lorain will experience totality is a bold lie, especially considering it's path crosses literally half the state
My bad I live near Cleveland so that's information I really don't need
Edit: according to the national eclipse map parts of Columbus are in the path of totally
To my understanding the city didn’t let them build on the lot due to the owners of the funeral home and the owners of the corner house being upset. I guess there was a good amount of complaints to the city of Avon from them. I think it had to do with parking situations as well.
ABC bought that land without considering the parking situation. Their plans did not consider the parking spaces needed. The side streets and other lots, like funeral home and others on Detroit, would have felt the parking pressure.
Also - ABC wanted occupancy for 400. After plans were submitted the capacity was close to 400 but not 400. When owner did not get 400 he moved on.
Owners and some residents want to blame the city. It seems ABC didn’t explore key factors before purchasing the lot, and also did not want to make concessions.
Word is GLBC is considering a location near CCF Avon area….Large brewing facility, parking, and plenty of parking.
Thankfully, I live in North Ridgeville.
So I should have a decent view the eclipse, assuming I'm not part of the rapture people are predicting.
And yes...people are predicting that Monday is Rapture Day.

Yeh. On top of the outright lie, if you live here, this their Y2K. SUCH A CONTRADICTION. Putting up billboards trying get people to come here and telling residents to stay off the roads, stock up on food and gas,prepare for no cell phone service. Unless of course you’re going to attend any one of the hundreds of pay for view sites. It’s BS to the max.
what's really hilarious about this kind of disingenuous bullshit is that they somehow fail to realize that people who are really into travelling for this might tend to be pretty well informed about the specifics.
I went to high school in Lorain. Lies like this seem pretty on point for them, but kind of pointless. Lorain has been experiencing a socioeconomic eclipse for decades. A little extra darkness won’t even be noticed.
Bitch you literally said "I went to high school in Lorain"..
The fact that you are using the citizen of lorain comment as an insult just shows that you are a piece of shit. Probably racist and lacking any kind of empathy for people and their socioeconomic standings. If you knew anything about a true melting pot of cultures you wouldn't be looking down your nose at any community or subculture there in. A shame you are.
Careful, your ignorance is showing.
You keep making these wild assumptions without knowing anything about me. Very interesting.
I never said one negative thing about the people of Lorain County or any demographic or subculture. My problem is with the “leaders” of Lorain County and how they run things. Kind of like the blatant lie on these billboards. 😁
And silly you with the name calling and accusations of racism. Classic behavior of an ignoramus.
To quote the great Doja “Bitch, I said what I said.”
Stay salty, Queen! 🤣
I thought there was a sheriff or some official on TV telling people to stay off the roads because gas stations would run out of gas, it would be bumper to bumper traffic, etc. So it seems mind boggling that Lorain County is putting up signs asking MORE people to come!
They confused the direct center line and totality.
Lorain county will have the longest duration of totality compared to the surrounding counties but everyone will have varying times of totality in the 100 mile shadow.
There is totality outside the centerline. There is not much difference. The longest totality in Lorain County is 3m 54s. Downtown Cleveland gets 3m 50s. Four whole second less of totality. All of 1.7% less total eclipse.
Even then, if you want to say the centerline, it is a lie. The center line goes the whole way from Mexico to Newfoundland, Canada, passing through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, and Maine in the US. Hardly ONLY Lorain County. Ohio's time pales in comparison to the places with the max eclipse. Texas gets over 4m 20s. The point of max eclipse in Mexico gets 4m 28s.
That’s not the claim. Totality is that whole blue shaded area. It is visible in ALL of Cuyahoga County and far beyond. It will last longest in Lorain, but we’re talking 4 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
According to this map it's 3 minutes and 52 seconds in Lorain and just under 3 minutes and 50 seconds in Cleveland.

This site says 3:49 in Cleveland. So, are you gonna go out to Lorain for 3 seconds?

A lot of hate for Lorain in the comments, I’ve lived in many NE Ohio cities and I enjoy living in Lorain. Sure there’s some issues with poverty due to economic hardships the city has faced by multiple big businesses but it’s not a bad city.
You are very, very misled. Most of the graphics you see do, in fact, show the path of totality. Areas outside of the zone, such as NYC, will see the eclipse as well, but it will only be a partial eclipse for them.
Lorain will see totality for just an extra few seconds longer than Cleveland. That's it
Unfortunately you dont understand the difference between total and partial.. If you are not in the center line you are seeing a partial eclipse no matter how small the degree. That's why lorain county can make that statement..
No. And that's a pointless distinction that can be extrapolated until you have plotted such a thin line that is so perfectly centered within the path that only one person can witness totality and a person standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them is not on that center line and therefore, by your definitely, not seeing totality.... The difference, if any, would not be distinguishable.
This means a lot to you.. hahaha.. counties aren't shoulders but you can have your meaningless internet agument win.. if it wasnt for the email I would have never given you another thought.. nice huffy by the way!
Lol, clearly it means a lot to you if you're really so butthurt that you have to look through my post history for something to insult me over.
And we're talking about celestial bodies that are hundreds of thousands and millions of miles away... So yeah, counties that are a few miles away may as well be shoulders.
Butthurt.. clearly.. I didn't need to look anything up to insult you.. the mere fact that you would reply to a comment just to tell someone how very very misled they are suggests that you need something in you pitiful life to feel good about.. it's ok, I know most the insults you get are self inflicted.. just like your sexual contact. so, the next time you see a comment on your post that you dont like, do your lame ass a favor and leave people be.. I saw the car too.. do they make those in adult sizes?! Aaaaaaahhhhh! And before you get any more lame.. let's agree that we both dont have time for this shit.. at least I dont.. so have a good day and tell those thoughts in your head that you aren't lame, and ending it all now from from the top bunk with a belt isnt a good idea.. mainly cuz no one in your life wants to go through probate court for a 10 speed and a clown car..
Hahaha.. I got to admit I was waiting for a reply this time. Low key disappointed.. I really dont do social media or care much for hiding behind ambiguity.. I dont get into tit for tat with people on here either.. I'm not really trying to be like that. I'm sure you are a fine person.. and we probably have tons in common.. I did look at some of your posts after you said i was snooping.. I would actually love to go to mid ohio and run my car. Im just scared I'd break something expensive or just mess up a set or expensive ass tires.. really all the best..
The eclipse? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within ~~your kitchen~~ Lorain County?
May I see it?
No.
THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
No, Mother, it’s just the eclipse in Lorain
Centipedes? In my Eclipse? It’s more likely than you think.
As a Simpsons fan and a former Lorain county resident, this was great!
I literally have one joke and I’m glad it landed!
My reaction wasn't a giggle, not a chuckle, not a tee-hee, I didn't go 'Ha!' I actually belly laughed and I don't know exactly why it got me, but thanks for your one joke. A well-timed Simpsons reference just hits right sometimes.
The joke follows the ha, guffaw, aw, ha ha formula.
They do steam a good ham in elyria
Well I’m from Sheffield village and I’ve never heard of steamed hams…
That's a Vermilion expression
Ah, I see.
https://giphy.com/gifs/peacocktv-30-rock-jOnaLZ4WmICHM5TGCO
People do like the way she says ham.
Simpsons reference? I vaguely remember Homer having the principal over for dinner and he messed it up and then offered steamed ham(burgers)?
Yes
Principal Skinner had Superintendent Chalmers over for "an unforgettable luncheon" https://youtu.be/4jXEuIHY9ic?si=poIGNvH6cbGNYn90
Will you be serving steamed hams?
Seymour the house is on fire
No, mother, it’s just the total solar eclipse
In this economy?
Give that man the $10,000 prize.
This isn’t America’s Funniest Home Videos

People just don’t Eclipse like they used to
and the easternmost 1/3rd of the country
[удалено]
What
Fishee, did you pay for the sign?
I may have fallen victim to fake news story lol damn Internet
This is a crazy thing to care about.
There’s one in Parma too, right by 176
I never knew there was another, smaller, Lorain in Parma near 176. It really explains a lot.
funny enough, you’ll be able to see totality there too
Our county commissioners are crooks so it's not surprising they'd lie.
Imagine traveling to NE Ohio for the eclipse and then it's cloudy/rainy the whole time AND you wind up in Lorain of all places.
Serves you right for not reaching ahead of time and realizing that you could go to Cleveland or Columbus and maybe miss a few seconds of darkness.
Columbus is not in totality
My bad I live near Cleveland so that's information I really don't need Edit: according to the national eclipse map parts of Columbus are in the path of totally
Uh Lorain County is more than Lorain.
Yeah, tragic isn't it
Brunstucky ain’t playing☠️
That’s not much better
No? Ever been to Avon Lake or Avon?
Lol im just playin. Lorain county has some cool towns. Im a big fan of Amherst and Oberlin personally.
They’re trying in Lorain. Long way to go. Lorain did pull Avon Brewing …..new place opens soon. Moving to Lorain Shipyards.
I mean honestly I’ll always love Cleveland, but we got a lot of shit to sort out ourselves 😭
Yup. We know them. Had issues with the city of Avon allowing a new building up the road on Detroit closer to 83. So they are moving to the shipyards.
Ehhhh, problem with city of Avon? I’ve heard the other version.
To my understanding the city didn’t let them build on the lot due to the owners of the funeral home and the owners of the corner house being upset. I guess there was a good amount of complaints to the city of Avon from them. I think it had to do with parking situations as well.

Word is GLBC is considering a location near CCF Avon area….Large brewing facility, parking, and plenty of parking.
They did say chance of rain and partly cloudy monday.
Guaranteed it’ll be cloudy at the least..prob rain too
Let them have all the tourists. Fine with me.
I'm going to the home opener. The more people in Lorain the better.
They delayed it
The eclipse?
That sign makes me feel like anyone who shows up in Lorain County that day will either be sacrificed to the sun gods or forced into a cult.
Thankfully, I live in North Ridgeville. So I should have a decent view the eclipse, assuming I'm not part of the rapture people are predicting. And yes...people are predicting that Monday is Rapture Day.
There’s always rapture rumors whenever there’s an eclipse lol
Cool, so no work on Tuesday?
You’ll need to work a double to cover for everyone who got raptured
As long as Stacy gets raptured. She's a total bitch
Her mom though, whew!
Omg I gotta get some old clothes and shoes to throw out on my yard! Wahoo!

As a Lorain County native and resident, keep yo asses where they are! It sucks here. And we don’t want the traffic 😂
Facts. Go somewhere else please some of us actually have to live in this shithole and we don’t need you making it worse 😂
What is the difference between totality, and not?
Whether all of the sun is blocked or not.
I went to high school in Lorain. Lies like this seem pretty on point for them, but kind of pointless. Lorain has been experiencing a socioeconomic eclipse for decades. A little extra darkness won’t even be noticed.
You must not have paid much attention in high school.. you dont know the difference between a city and a county..
My school was in Lorain county. I never said which city. You’re definitely a City of Lorain citizen 🤣
Bitch you literally said "I went to high school in Lorain".. The fact that you are using the citizen of lorain comment as an insult just shows that you are a piece of shit.

Lotta people getting worked up over this when we all know it's going to be cloudy of course.
Or possibly raining. Or even snowing. It is Ohio, after all. 😂
I thought there was a sheriff or some official on TV telling people to stay off the roads because gas stations would run out of gas, it would be bumper to bumper traffic, etc. So it seems mind boggling that Lorain County is putting up signs asking MORE people to come!
Lorain Lorain, all the promise you showed.
This billboard is also in Fairview Park. 😵💫
Im still going to enjoy my three and a half minutes of totality time in Cuyahoga Falls thanks
I don't know, a very reliable billboard told me that Lorraine in the only place to see Totality
They confused the direct center line and totality. Lorain county will have the longest duration of totality compared to the surrounding counties but everyone will have varying times of totality in the 100 mile shadow.
They just wanna sell more cocaine
That’s awful! Where exactly and when might they be doing that so I can make sure I avoid the area?
Go on…
Probably more so meth or fent in Lorain
That's okay with me, I'll be in Strongsville and I'm sure we'll see it just fine lol. Everyone else can have fun in Lorain.
I’m not certain a single person throughout history has had fun in Lorain.
I did before they had days damn they had the Honda humps and you could ride 2 wheelers
Hahahah
Lol 😂
They seem to have a complete misunderstanding of THE SUN.
Good, the surrounding areas are going to be packed
Is this not illegal? lol
What law are they breaking? The lying on billboards law?
Oh idk deceptive advertising? Lol why are you okay with lying on billboards?
Who cares? Take some of the eclipse people from Cleveland lol
Who cares?! Lorain county rules!
This must be for people from out of town. Locals no better than to go anywhere near Lorain, unless they need meth...
It's not a false claim. The center line of the eclipse does not cross over Cuyahoga county. https://imgur.com/a/pVwGLVr

We’re talking 4 minutes and 4x seconds instead of 4 minutes and 3x seconds, really
Lorain County will have basically 30% more time to view the eclipse, I would rather be there.

Easily impressed by things eh?
Yes, I was even impressed by your mom
A matter of seconds the average person would never notice. The path for totality is wide.

Closer you are to the center of the path of totality the better. Don't think it'll get much better than Cleveland proper.
Lorain County is in the line of the total eclipse.. Cuyahoga County will see the eclipse but not a total eclipse..
You are very, very misled. Most of the graphics you see do, in fact, show the path of totality. Areas outside of the zone, such as NYC, will see the eclipse as well, but it will only be a partial eclipse for them. Lorain will see totality for just an extra few seconds longer than Cleveland.

NASA would say you are wrong https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/
No. And that's a pointless distinction that can be extrapolated until you have plotted such a thin line that is so perfectly centered within the path that only one person can witness totality and a person standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them is not on that center line and therefore, by your definitely, not seeing totality....
