East Liverpool, Ohio

East Liverpool

East Liverpool (not to be confused with Liverpool, the hometown of The Beatles) is a rather small Ohio town on the tri-state border of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. It is in Columbiana County. It is the (very) former self-proclaimed Pottery Capital of the World. This town of 12,000 still shows signs of its past, as a few potteries are still around, and the local high school's mascot is Potter Pete, a walking kiln with muscles (though some previous athletes at East Liverpool High School claim Potter Pete is actually a perverted old man).

Popular (?) tourist attractions include

• Plenty of antique stores
• The Rogers Sale (or mall if you ask some residents)
• Wal-Mart (again, don't laugh, this is the epitome of fun in East Liverpool)
• Little Blue, a "lake" with tropical looking water in Chester, West Virginia, right across the river from East Liverpool

Needless to say, there is little to do in this town, except if you are of the legal drinking age, in which case the downtown area is filled with various dives for you to feed your alcoholic desires.
