Kelleys Island and our Amazing Lake Erie Islands!!

Great Video! The Lake Erie Islands - worth a week of vacation.
Spend a day at Cedar Point, then visit the islands. This region is filled with villages, islands, wineries, water parks, and other fantastic destinations. No longer a day trip - you can spend several days visiting the mainland areas of Sandusky, Marblehead and Port Clinton/Catawba. Then visit Kelleys Island, Middle Bass Island, and South Bass Island with the Village of Put-in-Bay. Take a tour of Gibraltar Island and enjoy ferry boat rides or a water taxi ride between your destinations. Take some time and explore! Start planning your vacation for next year today!!

Just Stuff

Another Day in Northern Ohio..
  • Just back from a New England vacation - yes we got trapped by the flooding. A beautiful area - not unlike the feel among our Lake Erie Islands. My wife and I noticed one major difference - and that was attitude. Everyone we talked to, and I like to talk, from business owners to residents were ambassadors for their region. They all loved to brag about where they lived. Northern Ohio has some fantastic assets - lets do some bragging!!
  • I picked up a copy of EcoWatch Journal at Rio Coffee Brewery in Avon Lake (where I am at the moment-a regular stop) and they have an article on "Ohio's Growing Wind and Solar Supply Chain". A new study released by the Environmental Law and Policy Center finds that 106 Ohio companies are doing business with the wind industry, and 63 with he solar industry supply chains.
  • We are having a condo open house on Middle Bass Island this Saturday from 1 pm to 3 pm. We'll have 4 to 5 waterfront condos open. See a variety of layouts and prices. Email me for info at leehisey@howardhanna.com. To preview the building check out: http://www.StHazardsCondos.com
  • We will probably have a new condo listing and a Avon Lake starter/down-sizing home this week. Check http://www.LeeHisey.com regularly to view new listings.
