Historic Downtown Perrysburg has an interesting history.  In this episode, local Historian and Librarian Richard Baranowski gives us the history of 101 Louisiana Avenue (where Angel 101 sits today) through 131 Louisiana Avenue (where the Huntington Bank sits today).  That’s the east side of the 100 block of Louisiana Avenue. The first half of this episode was recorded on-location in October 2023, and the second half was recorded in the Local History Room at Way Public Library in November 2023.
