Tourist Guide

Jackson Street Pier is a great place to catch a sunset or the Pelee Islander ferry to, oddly enough, Pelee Island, Canada. Great place to have a little island winery adventure just across the border. #WeekendGetaway

Hands down, best perch sandwiches on Lake Erie. Perch sandwich w/ tartar and and order of fried okra. Simple place with no indoor seating, just grab a bench outside and enjoy.
