Crape myrtle near Post Office

4. Every time our family would go to Ocean City MD on vacation when I was a kid

My mother was just enthralled with the Crape Myrtles. She bugged my dad over and over can we stop and get one. We never saw any in Ohio. Well my dad finally did stop at a nursery for her once. When my dad told owner of the nursery that we were from Ohio, the owner asked if we lived north or south of Columbus. My dad replied “north” so in answer to that, the nursery man refused to sell us one because he said it wouldn’t live in NE Ohio. My mother was heartbroken! We left empty handed. To this day, I think of her whenever I see those beautiful Crape Myrtles.
