Abbey's Road: Witnessing history with loved ones during a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse

Abbey's daughters wait for the solar eclipse to pass over their town April 8.

In case you’ve been living under a rock the last week or so, the once-in-a-lifetime event known as "Solar Eclipse Totality in Your Town (or near to it)" happened this past Monday, and every Buckeye with a set of eyes gathered to witness the spectacle.
