Where in the world did Desi go?

I took another road trip guys. You know how I love to travel. Guess where.
My friends and I met and had lunch at a place called "The Pub"

we watched "football" on the telly(Liverpool and Portsmouth-Liverpool won-I like their jersey better anyway).
The food was good but the wait was crazy. Getting seated wasn't a problem-getting our food and someone to take our money- hour and half for the first,20 minutes(after she gave us the bill)for the second a little much. She did however give us a free appetizer-so it's all good.

Clue #1
It's home to Huffy Bicycles(The bikes of my childhood. Picture this-flowered banana seats and whistling straws on my spokes and sparkly tassels on the handlebars-ah the good old days) ,Lexis Nexis, and America's Packard Museum.

Clue #2
The city was founded on April 1, 1796 by a small group of US settlers seven years before the admission of Ohio to the Union in 1803.

Clue #3
It's primary nickname is the "Gem City". Local "Gems" The Wright brothers, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and entrepreneur John H. Patterson were born here.

Final analysis, I had a great time. I always said that I wanted to spend my weekends taking small trips. It's awesome to have friends that help you make your dreams come true. So Where was I?
