Welcome to the last spooky episode of Maps and Coffee this Halloween season! Don't forget we'll be taking a break through November and will be back for some Christmas fun. Today, Joan takes us to Minerva, Ohio where monsters and gold all come together to some truly crazy stories. 

Happy Tuesday!! We're right in the middle of Spooky Season and on this episode of Maps and Coffee, Annalisa takes a new turn on spooky and gives us a story of a small town and their alien encounter. 

Thank you so much for listening to Maps and Coffee the podcast. It's our 50th regular episode!! Right at the start of Halloween, one of our favorite themed podcast months. Annalisa kicks off spooky season with a tail of the supposedly cursed ghost town of Bodie, California.

Welcome back to Maps and Coffee the podcast where we talk about small towns and why you should go and see them! This is the last of our, as Analisa calls them, "school towns" before we get into spooky season! She takes us on a trip to Carbondale, Illinois, her husbands alma mater. 

Thank you so much for listening to Maps and Coffee! This month is our COLLEGE TOWN month and Joan takes us on her mini trip to Youngstown, Ohio as a part of one of her college courses. 

TWO trips in a row! Annalisa and Joan go back to Muncie, Indiana where they met at their alma mater, Ball State University. 

Maps and Coffee is about the small towns you always drive through on your way to the big city. Those small towns are hidden gems and this week, Joan highlights Kent, Ohio to the kickoff of our Back To School month!
