Warsaw Federal Incline Theater

Reviewed By douglasahaskell - Cincinnati, United States

If you get a chance to see "Drowsy Chaperone" at the Incline Theater, don't miss it. Very nice theater. Lots of seat room. Convenient parking for $5. Go across the street to Primavista or the Incline Public House for a meal. The "Drowsy Chaperone" is hilarious and nicely staged. Good music and funny gags.

Findlay Market

A variety of merchants feature their produce and wares in these distinct location categories: Market House, Farmer's Market, Outdoor and Storefront.

Reviewed By areis218 - Fall River, United States

Worth the visit! Lots to see, smell, and taste - the market offers a ton of specialty food items, ready to make and prepared. There are also great gift items just as jams, spices and work from local artisans. In the streets just outside of the market, there are a ton of great shops, restaurants and brew houses. Give yourself a few hours in the late morning/afternoon.
