Every year the Ohio Magazine names four Ohio towns as Ohio's Best Hometowns to live and work in.  And Sylvania, Ohio was one to earn that honor for 2010 after a competitive application process spearheaded by Pat Nowak, the Sylvania Chamber of Commerce's Executive Director.  She wrote a number of essays highlighting quality of work and life issues in the community dealing with the economy, recreation, entertainment, schools and safety as well as submitted story board to graphically represent Sylvania.  Then, Ohio Magazine made a secret visit to see for themselves how Sylvania stacked up with the pictures and essays.  You might recall that Perrysburg, Ohio was chosen as one of the Best Hometowns by Ohio Magazine last year.  Pick up the November issue of Ohio Magazine to read the Best Hometowns article.  You might want to subscribe to this magazine to get great ideas for long weekend vacations.
