Bowling Green is in northwest Ohio just south of Toledo, and is very easy to get to. It is located at Exit 181 of I-75, 14 miles south of Exit 64 (#4A) of the Ohio Turnpike--about two hours or so drive from Cleveland, Columbus, or Dayton. (Special care should be taken at the turnpike exit, it sneaks up on you pretty fast and the exit lane is short. Also, taking US 6 from Fremont saves no time, and SR 105 is even slower--although it is scenic)

Those travelling from central or southeastern Ohio should take US 23 from Columbus, which turns into SR 15, to I-75 in Findlay, then north. (Taking US 33, SR 31, and US 68 to SR 15 avoids the congestion north of Columbus.)

There is an Amtrak station in Toledo (25 miles), commerical airports in Toledo (25 miles) and Detroit (75 miles), and a general aviation airport in Bowling Green. Contact us for possible assistance. Greyhound stops in Bowling Green near the railroad tracks, and the city has a taxi service, BG Transit, (call 1-800-579-4299 for pickup).

There are at least a dozen places to eat between I-75 and the Best Western (including the usual Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's), and at the southwest corner of campus and downtown. Other quick lunch suggestions: DiBenedetto's Subs next to the Best Western, Subway and Barry's Bagels near the railroad tracks (parking in the rear), and Hunan Palace/Buffet opposite the stadium.

Toledo has a very good public radio station at 91.3 FM, which can also be received as far south as Dayton at 90.7.
