I lived in Chagrin Falls, Beavercreek, and Centerville OH growing up. Never thought of it as rural, I mean, the roads were paved and everything. But my neighbor from across the street was a farmer with a huge cornfield. And you could walk up the hill to the cornfields in that direction…
Luke Perry is from Ohio, and the iconic FFA jacket was created there. That’s all you need to know about the 17th state of the union. Hollywood chic and authentic sodbusters. O-H!
I enjoyed the read. Your comment about Hollywood using Ohio reminded me of the Kent Street shootings and Neil Youngs anti protest/revolution song Ohio. If you replace the word soldier with Doctor, you have a song about Covid.
The most terrifying things about Cincinnati is its fast food chili, a dish summoned from the depths of hell and only edible only between the hours of 3 and 4 AM.
I had a college friend at the University of. Kentucky whose mother was the heir to the Skyline Chili franchise. Edible enough for college students. But one day my idiot friend T.K. crashed his motor scooter driving too fast to try and get home before the Percocet kicked in, and the next day we were all at skyline chili and his forehead was all scraped up and he was bleeding into his chili and ever since I’ve not been able to eat that crap.
As a transplant to Ohio, by way of Norfolk, Virginia, originating from Arizona, I approve this message. And in a not so random twist, two of my grandparents, my mom’s dad and my dad’s mom, were born in Ohio and ended up in AZ in the 1950’s.
Aside from the BS weather that changes every 239 seconds, Ohio is a pretty cool place. Specifically SW Ohio.
Can't wait for next week, when the ohio-florida connection is revealed! Lisa M is bringing me an entire 12 0z bag of cocaine instead of the microwave popcorn I put in my instacart!
In early days we marched everywhere. Back in my day we marched to school and when we got there we marched in the halls. So on and on, later we marched free range to stores to work to church evermore and after quietly stoicly moving to and fro. Go get pizza go to library go go go go. Finally we slowed our roll but events sped up and we became digital marchers looking up web sites onward through the fog.

Brilliant!
Thanks, Leland!

Ohio contains multitudes.

The soul of Ohio is hidden, and even more terrifying--- Cincinnati !!!

And even then, only after a night of drinking. Although White Castle is an acceptable alternative.
You truly understand about Ohio.

Agreed. Southwest Ohio is the Northeast Ohio of Southern Ohio.
You know they're coming for you now, right?

This is why I went public with it. When I am disappeared into a nondescript white van with Ohio plates, you will all know why.
I do hope that y’all realize that OH is nowhere NEAR the center of the US.
Can't wait for next week, when the ohio-florida connection is revealed! Lisa M is bringing me an entire 12 0z bag of cocaine instead of the microwave popcorn I put in my instacart!
I do hope you realize that's exactly what Ohio wants everyone to think.
I am also of Ohio but never would have been had Western PA’s economy not collapsed in the 70’s and early 80s.
Oh ho, way to go Ohio!
Lived here most of my adult life; thanks for the smile.
A song written about Ohio. Like so, so, so many.

Wandering aimlessly through the mall for a whole Saturday afternoon is a lost art.
Round on the edges and HI in the middle. An immutable truth wrapped up in a dad joke.
We claim him proudly.
That’s Iowa, but close.
Not if it's all Ohio, tho.
John gets it.
