Formerly the Sandstone Capital off the world, Amherst, Ohio is the home of the Amherst Comets. Like many sprawling suburban communities, Amherst, Ohio continues to be transformed into a safe, growing, commercial, residential community that still has a great small town feel near the central business district. Where else but in a small, quaint suburban community can you still shop at a Ben Franklin's five & dime, buy a small pet at Neptune's Cellar, have dinner at Ziggys, Angelo's, Hot Dog Heaven, the list goes on.... Oh, and don't forget the close proximity to several of Lorain County's MetroParks including Mill Hollow where there is a place to stop and see where the Underground Railroad passed through and the annual Potato Festival... great place to live, work, or visit.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
