Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance.

The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.1000, Longitude: -81.3462 |
| <2> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |
