 		Lillian, Ohio
Collecting informations about the city
Hi people,

I asked myself, whether there is such City like Lillian in Ohio. Because, you know, I like unexisting cities.
But I also found this one: http://localtimes.info/North_America/United_States/Lillian/Ohio/

I am bad in geography, and I also know, there is a Lillian city in Alabama. But perhaps, if the Lillian in Ohio is fictional city, we could find a trail website, official Lillian website of Ohio?

*At this point we have to be cautious: every website we'll find about Lillian, Ohio, which will mention Aliens, Area 51 or JJ Abrams stuff will be with huge possibility a gamejack*.

And... if there is actually city named Lillian in Ohio, than I'm waiting for a trout.

UPD. Single family house, beeing sold in... Lillian, Ohio http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Lillian-OH/60955161_zpid/
UPD1. ^Perhaps OOG, since its on the Lillian Lane, not in Lillian city.

 		Thank you for information people!
For the record, at the current time there is no city mention in Wiki about Lillian. So if they would suddenly appear, it will mean gamejack (I know, I'm paranoid about gamejacks, but I have too many stories about them, like faking wikipedia etc., so better to be cautious Wink)

Anyway, since there is no city named Lillian in Ohio, we should be open to every message from such city Wink

My little advice: google for the city using exlusion strategy.

Like:

Quote:
"Lillian, Ohio" -"super8" -"Abrams"


It will mean, all meta cites - and lame game jack attempts - will be excluded from the search results.

 		If I'm remembering correctly (and go ahead and correct me if I'm not), but when the google search spider is crawling through pages to index them, it saves a copy for faster indexing. The site seems to have gone down sense the spider indexed it, but the spiders cache hasn't been cleared sense it found that site.
My thought is that perhaps they put it up for a small period of time to test the site, and in that time the spider found and cached it, and that it will go up later in the ARG?

Nevermind. The pictures finally loaded on my PC and it looks more like a beachside resort.

 		If you go to google earth, and go into Weirton as a pedestrian, there is a place, in the middle of nowhere. It's just a picture of some birds, but I don't know if it means anything:

 		People, please concentrate in your search for "Lillian in Ohio", since there are tons of other Lillians in the web. Even women and girls named Lillian in Ohio are OOG. Just saying Wink

 		Summit Co. Lillian Ohio
I'm lookn at wiki bruce and at the summery of the trailer,

the plates on the truck that derails the train are from summit county ohio,
that make me wonder is lillian ohio located in summit county, or has Josh moved in the past years?

Are we looking in the wrong place?

That is a good point about Summit County. May be a good place to start looking as well.
