Hello everyone! And welcome to this week’s three minute update. Coming to you from Twinsburg, Ohio! Here’s a fun fact for you: Twinsburg was originally called Millsville, until twin brother settlers purchased land, then deemed it for public use, on the condition the name change to Twinsburg. Now isn’t that cool? Twinsburg is home to Twins Days each year, and is definitely a cool hangout for those passing through I480. Check it out!
