Somewhere in this general vicinity.

At one point, Piqua was known as the Underwear Capital of the World, with 16 factories producing underwear. It also has an Great Outdoor Underwear Day. This tradition is still going strong today, with events that include the Undy 500 and Drop Seat Trot, celebrating what really holds us together.

lol...fail! They haven't had that festival in years.

Piqua was home to the first municipally-owned nuclear power plant, in operation from 1962 to 1966 earning its short lived nickname "The Atomic City." During this period a name brand automotive battery, the "Piqua Atomic Power Plant" was manufactured and marketed locally.

I can walk to the old nuclear dome from my place. City maintenance uses it for something now. It explains the 3 legged fish I've seen in the river.

Piqua is believed to be a reference to the Shawnee Indian phrase: "Othath-He-Waugh-Pe-Qua" translated as "He has risen from the ashes!" The phrase is mentioned in a painting of a Native American rising up above the flames before a tribe of onlookers in a state of amazement. The painting is on public display inside the main office of Unity National Bank, the former Third Savings and Loan Association in downtown Piqua.

So there you go.

Thanks for the idea, jim...that was fun.
