Gnostic1's definitions

Tynersburg

place. Industrial city where most of Ohio's fridge magnets are forged. Located where the magnetite miners had easy access to both water and oil Tynersburg grew from a small hamlet to a bustling metropolis at the turn of the century when fridges began to be formed from metal instead of wood.

Home of the Fighting Woodchuks pasanka choir and a Bavarian Beer Stein interpretive center, Tynersburg boasts a bold hold on the past and a niche-based future.

.....................................................................................

Isn't Tynersburg the home of both an Olympic archer and a famous composer of Indian ragas?

Why yes. I believe it is, and I think you can buy cleverly constructed fridge magnets celebrating both of them.
