What Are My Most Visited Blog Posts?

One of the fun things about writing a blog for more than 15 years (!) is discovering which posts are the most popular – or at least, the most visited. I monitor this statistic every once in a while, and I'm always a little surprised at what I find.

Here's the latest rankings, as of yesterday.

As you can see, the all-time champ is my post about the American flag painted on the old quarry rock overlooking Route 2.

Number 2, strangely enough, is the post about the building at 1242 Colorado Avenue that was once home to a Canada Dry bottling plant, and later, The Corner Store model railroad store.
The "little bar on Lake Road" in Avon Lake was next, followed by my comparison of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and Post Toasties.
The well-remembered Ontario department store rounded out the top five. That post has 71 comments!
Next were posts about Travelodge's Sleepy Bear, our local beloved Dog 'N Suds, and Max, the freakishly long-necked Forest City Auto Parts mascot. Max has generated 45 interesting comments, mainly by ex-Forest City employees.
Finishing up the top ten were my posts about Yes-Yes Cookies (which as of this date has 33 comments by people like me who remembered the tasty treat) and "Visions of Cedar Point 1966 Part 3."
The next posts, in order, include Anson Titus House in Avon Lake, Donald Duck Orange Juice being discontinued, Cedar Point's Chaussee and Causeway Part 2, and Joseph Ule's windmill on Kolbe Road.
And there you have it. As you can see, there is a nice mix of local and national items of interest.
Sorry, Reddy! Maybe one of your 61 electrifying posts will make the Top Ten next time.

All those readers! See how famous you are?!

I'm wondering if you have any access to the word people use to search your blog? Those would be interesting to see.

And congrats on more than 15 years of articles. Very few folks have as much oomph. Here's wishing you and Reddy another 15 years of blogging bliss.
