Elmira, Ohio

Elmira is an unincorporated community in Fulton County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

A post office was established at Elmira in 1839,[2][3] and about eleven years later was moved to Burlington where the office apparently retained the name Elmira.[4]

Elmira is a trailhead for the Wabash Cannonball Trail, a rail trail conversion of the defunct Wabash Railroad.[5][6] A 210-foot railroad bridge spans the Tiffin River on the trail just west of the community.[7][8]

gollark: So your issue is just flexible working hours?
gollark: Are you suggesting that having to hunt/gather food isn't "work" for animals?
gollark: For example, a train station I'm aware of has a ticket office with 4 people at desks and basically no activity, even though they mostly just act as bad frontends for the automatic ticket system, for which there are also (not very good) automatic ticket machines.
gollark: There are some things which I think probably should be automated but aren't, though, and I think that's mostly just because some people want there to be humans around for whatever reason and pressure to "preserve jobs".
gollark: Oops, I said knowledge work twice.
