Some non-food ideas:
Calvin and Hobbes books! Definitely one of the best comics created. Bill Watterson still lives in Ohio. Calvin rampages through Chagrin Falls.
Books and pictures of the Bicentennial Barns.
History on the Wright Brothers, John Glenn or Neil Armstrong
Ohio art pottery can be really nice but you can sink some serious money there. Roseville, Zanesville, Hull.
Dayton Dragons are fun too--shirts or other stuff.
I always like Amish style quilted hot pads and trivets for gifts. Pretty, small and ship well.
Of course, cardinals are beautiful! They translate well as stained glass, notecards or prints. Lot of possibilities...
Edit: remembered something else fun, depending on your relatives....Haunted Ohio. There's a series of books now and the author lives near Dayton.
I bet it was this: https://www.amazon.com/James-Island-Stories-Slave-Descendants/dp/1596291826
The publishing date is 2006 instead of 2007, but it sure fits the description above otherwise.
We met at a reddit meetup, actually. I invited her back to sample some rare beer I was in possession of. Some weeks later, we started swapping messages and it's been a steady run ever since.
I have xmas lights strung about, a Hello Cthulhu door hangar someone made me, the pocket knife from my trip to Mt. Evans, the postcard from my hike to the top of Half Dome, my participation medal from a Warrior Dash, a couple of plaques from when I left the service, a National Geographic Ireland calendar and the world map poster it came with and the Delve Eviction Notice.
Probably a few perpetrators here.
Ahem. But, for serious, do you mean present day organized crime, or the mobs of bygone eras? There is a bunch of online info about former St. Louis mafia activity, as well as a few books
This looks cool (have not read it, though), and Amazon has a few other hits. Local libraries may have some good readin', too.
I like Vancouver, Then and Now. It shows pictures from years gone by and pictures from as close to the original spot as you can really expect people to get to. Some of the changes are minimal (seawall) but others are drastic.
According to this book:
"Unfortunately, the original front castle section was demolished in 1958 after it was declared structurally unsound. This regrettable loss removed a signature feature of the Memphis skyline."
The post office pictured to the right is still there, kind of. It got incorporated into the building that is now the law school.
Hey everybody, I am working on a media-rich e-book version of this book -
Montana's Last Best River: The Big Hole and Its People

If anyone has any cool stories or things I could film in that area I would be very interested! send me a message! Would love to link up with some fly fishers or something and shoot some footage.
When I visited DC a few years back I got this awesome book called Washington, D.C., Then & Now that's filled with amazing photographs of the city from the very beginning, comparing them to the modern day city.
Looks like some of these photos might be from that book.
Generally, if you want lodging in a well-known National Park, you have to plan at least 1/2 year ahead, if not a full year. Some parks have convenient gateway towns like Springdale for Zion and Estes Park for Rocky Mountain and they'll have a wide variety of lodging and restaurant options. Lots of the western NPs do have historic lodges - check out the Great Lodges of the NP book and/or DVD from a library to get an idea of what's available.
If you can swing September, you'll find fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, fall colors, and in places like Yellowstone or Rocky Mountain you get to hear and see elk bugle. May is also a less crowded time and weather can be a little cooler (and waterfalls in Yosemite are going full).
As already said, don't overlook national monuments like Devils Tower or Cedar Breaks or Canyon de Chelly or Craters of the Moon. State parks like Custer in SD or Baxter in ME have lots to offer too.
Some parks you group nicely together in a two week trip, if you plan - the 5 Utah parks (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches) plus the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; Glacier & Yellowstone; etc.
We bought a book of photographs of Cape Cod where we're getting married.
Each page has about a 1.5 each white border and there are about as many pictures as guests. We're asking each guest to pick their favorite and write us a message on that page. It'll make for a nice coffee table book, since the photos are beautiful and messages will make it even better.
The first expansion into what is now Southwest Territory was technically for Rolling Thunder's entrance. They extended the path between Demon and Whizzer under the train tracks to get there. Then they extended the path by Demon and Splashwater Falls' exit to get to the Batman Stunt Show in 1993. Looking at Google Earth, they may have actually connected the path to the stunt show with the path to Rolling Thunder's entrance. I can't say for sure, because I never went to the stunt show, and I never rode Rolling Thunder after 1990 (it was unpopular, to say the least). Then they removed Rolling Thunder and put Viper's entrance in that spot, then filled everything in when they opened Southwest Territory in 1996.
I found out by reading Steven Wilson's book about Great America that they had plans for a Southwest Territory expansion from the very beginning of the park.
Are you aware that there is a picture book about the old Adventureland? I don't own it so I can't check for you but perhaps theres a way to contact the author?

Another good one is Chicago Then and Now: http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Then-Now-Compact-Thunder/dp/1592237320/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310148876&sr=1-1
I have no idea if there's a later edition than the 2007 one.
Mary McClure is a local history buff and has written several books about the area. She is active on some of the Cuyahoga Falls Facebook pages. http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Images-America-Arcadia-Publishing/dp/1467111759

You have a great idea! Can't dispute the beauty of the Colorado mountains. If you have never done it and don't have the gear, I think wilderness backpacking might be a stretch. Also, it is best to have a partner. You can rent some gear from REI, you might want to check with them on what is available. You can absolutely tailor your adventure to your experience and desires. I would recommend Crested Butte as a town for your center point. You could get a condo or hotel there, but I would recommend car camping outside of town on some of the back roads. In the summer, I think you could find some pretty nice sites accessible with a rental car off of Kebler Pass, Gothic Rd. or Ohio Pass. From there you can access plenty of world class hiking such as West Maroon Pass, Scarp Ridge, Rustler Gulch etc. You can also make some side trips to Lake City, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Ouray, Telluride etc. Crested Butte is also a very cool town with cool restaurants, and stuff going on in the summer. I would also highly recommend this book to help you plan your trip. Also, pick up your weed in Denver. Mountain towns do not have the selection, quality, or price. Have fun and enjoy!

A book about these was just recently released (written by a local), I've been meaning to check it out.
eta: author is a local
In a word, "Republicans". In a few more words, "Republicans and rich WASPy white shits who don't want the hoi polloi coming into their neighborhoods".
They've been working on light rail along the West End axis for years now. Maybe one of these days they'll do something.
Ironically, Nashville had streetcars back in 1866, which kind of puts the lie to "we don't have enough people to support public transportation".
