I've been to Sandusky, OH! Cedar Point amusement park is there. Their tagline is "Roller Coaster Capitol of the World" and it is well earned.

I grew up in Northern Ohio and went to Cedar Point several times a year every summer or fall. The best place on Earth!!!

Well, I didn't find any Donalds...but I have a decent stack all from the same address from a guy using 3 names that are all slightly different. He was gaming the system for extra catalogs :D I also have a set from a lady that includes 4 Tritons and Intellivision News 4, 5, & 6 all to the same address.

Wait, the guy using 3 names ? May be he was working for the company sending the mailing or for Intv ?? When we send mailing campagn, we always use "trap adresses" to be sure nobody else will use these adresses (these names don't exist except in the boxmail).

I did that too ...my favorite nom de box was Santos L. Halper, a Simpsons in-joke. It was always fun to see where things would end up.

 

I still do that with email, giving out companyname@mycustomdomain addresses ...it's not as effective though since people seem to keep their collected addresses more nowadays.

 

I wish I could do that with my work address, which gets a lot of unsolicited commercial mail, which my people call spam but the mail system doesn't, because it's not from Nigerian scammers or viagra resellers.

Me too. Sea world/geauga lake summers were the best.

 

I grew up in Northeast Ohio and still live here. Geauga Lake is now closed permanently, but some of the rides still remain. Just look at some of these pictures!

when I think of that name, my first thought goes to one of my best friend of my childhood: Mr. Donald Duck (P.O. Box 313, Disneyland, CA, 92801)

 

 

his address is: 1313 Webfoot Walk, Duckburg

 

:)

 

btw. I think Donald Duck and his family is much more popular in Europe than it was ever in the US.
