Hart Crane and Garrettsville

Hiram College is having a big symposium on Hart Crane, March 21 and 22, and I learned that Crane was born in Garrettsville, the town next to my township (in fact, we have a G-ville phone number). I'm not a big fan of Crane's work, but if Cleveland wants to steal his glory, well, G-ville has a much better case.

Hiram also has a minor Mormon shrine, the John Johnson farm, where Joseph Smith had 16 revelations, and was taken from his bed for a tar-and-feathering in 1832.

See, we gots culture here.
