Editing Tallmadge, Ohio (section)

==Landmarks==
At the center of the town is the Historic Tallmadge Church (built in 1825), recognized as a historic place by the [[Ohio Historical Society]], and was featured on the cover of the November 20, 1944, edition of [[Life (magazine)|''Life'' magazine]].<ref>[https://images.google.com/hosted/life/f?q=tallmadge+source:life&imgurl=552ad6befa704aa8 LIFE Magazine Cover hosted at Google]</ref> An intersection surrounds the church and a small park, the Tallmadge Circle Park, on which the church sits. The Circle Park is also home to Tallmadge's Old Town Hall (established 1859), which houses a museum on its second floor. In 2003, a new steeple was placed atop the Old Town Hall, replacing the original which had been removed decades earlier.

The Circle itself, which surrounds the Historic Church, Old Town Hall, and Circle Park, continues to be a notable landmark at the center of the town. While two separate Ohio state routes meet at the intersection ([[Ohio State Route 91|SR 91]] and [[Ohio State Route 261|SR 261]]; at one point [[Ohio State Route 18|SR 18]] and [[Ohio State Route 532|SR 532]] also met there), the one-lane circle regularly accommodates several dozen vehicles at a time without congestion, although jams are present on roads leading to the circle itself at peak hours. The eight roads that meet at the Circle form a spoke design that, as they lead away from the Circle, travel in the [[cardinal direction|cardinal]] and [[ordinal direction]]s. The roads are named according to the respective directions they travel away from the Circle (e.g. Northwest Avenue); these names are not preserved by the neighboring municipalities into which the eight roads run.<ref name="tallmadge-ohio.org"/> Four of these eight roads comes to a six-point intersection within the original city, forming a square. In summer 2010, one of these six-point intersections in the northeastern portion of Tallmadge was converted to a roundabout based on the design of the original Circle.
