| ** HAMILTON ** Hamilton is a nearby “city.” I used the quotes because it's not that big, but it’s a close place to go if you want to get out of Oxford for the night, since it's only about 20 minutes away. If you take Route 27 South and make a left at the OH-130 light, and go straight (you’ll see a drive-in movie theatre on your left!). Keep going straight and that will take you into the Washington Blvd area of Hamilton. When you get to a light, make a right, and you’ll see places to eat and shop, such as Meijer’s, Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby (a good place to go for craft supplies for programs!), and two movie theatres. FYI: there is also a AAA office there too! Beth Israel Synagogue: There is also a synagogue, Beth Israel Synagogue, located in Hamilton. It’s the closest one to campus and it is a small, conservative temple. The rabbi there is very nice, and whenever I wanted to come for a high holiday service, or a Shabbat when Hillel was not sponsoring one, they would welcome me with open and excited arms! It’s also a place where you might consider co-sponsoring a program and keep in mind that some students might even work there! My recommendation: I went to a great sculpture park one time with friends called Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. It’s a nice place for an afternoon date, a Hillel program, or an artsy afternoon getaway. Check it out and give them business-the most darling people work there! I recommend just driving around in Hamilton to find what you like; that’s always fun. Other than that, if you are interested in anything else, I would check out the City of Hamilton’s website and surf around. |
