I moved to Oak Harbor from the south end about four months ago. I like Oak Harbor despite the crazy pattern of numbered streets, courts and avenues scattered all over a two mile area in town. Weird.

I feel I can offer a fresh view point to the Oak Harbor tourist attraction dilemma. You don’t have any; never will; so quit wasting time and money trying to dream one up. Be happy we don’t draw tourists and enjoy our nice town.
