I lived in and around Toledo for 10 years and because of this, I hate Ohio deeply and despair washes over me as soon as my plane touches down when I go out there to visit my family. It's like there's something in the air that depletes serotonin. Had I lived in Cleveland or Columbus maybe I'd have a better opinion of the state though.

Last time I was there, we went to a "fancy" (not fancy at all) Italian restaurant near Oak Harbor and my sister's retard hick boyfriend couldn't pronounce loving "rigatoni."

Ohio needs to legalize weed, that will really set our economy off and give people something to do during the endless, sunless winter months

I grew up in akron. I never felt connected to anyone there. I always felt like there was more to life. Then I left.


I think I went back once in 2007 right before the housing crash. My friend was proud she bought a home in Cleveland at the time and as we went to see this place I realized how dead it was in that city. Everything was hosed but the people are desensitized to it. I told her "Sell this loving house and get out of here. This place is hosed." She actually listened to me. Sold her house fast, took a 10k loss and moved to San Fransisco. About 4 months later the entire economy exploded - She would of lost 80k if she waited. She now is married and living a pretty good life in the center of SF.

I guess the moral of this story is get the gently caress out while you can. I live in LA and I meet so many people who got the gently caress out. Go to the coasts.

Yes. At 23, I realized that if I didn't leave Ohio soon, chances were pretty good I would commit suicide or drink myself to death, so I loaded up my lovely car with whatever I could fit in it and drove 14 hours out to CT (I had a friend there I could crash with for a few days) with only $500 to my name and no job prospects.

It was rough at first, but it was the best decision I've ever made. I've moved around a bit since then, but no other place made me feel desperate to leave like Ohio did.

My old gay bestfriend still lives there, out in the sticks, and he still faces homophobia a lot and I don't understand why the gently caress he doesn't just leave there already and go to a coast, where hardly anyone gives a poo poo if you're gay anymore. Leaving just seems like a really huge, insurmountable thing for a lot of people, I guess.

Huh I guess Marilyn Manson's mom died last May. Posted a touching tribute on his Facebook page, 'cause no one goes to Canton.

Apparently I grew up not far from the wacky little devil, but I went to a normal school while he went to some Heritage Academy. Great job they did.

There are lovely parts of every state, but Ohio is charming for how upbeat people are about the shittiness. Especially Cleveland. I grew up here then went to Chicago for 7 years for school and work, then moved back here. It's been pretty dank so far except when I lived downtown because downtown pretty much sucks balls

there's a commercial that plays on the radio encouraging tourism in Ohio (why they're playing this in Ohio is beyond me) that features people saying hi from wherever.

The one that sticks out to me is the one for Marblehead because the lady says "hi" like she's trying to get you to say hello back and she knows you can see her waving at you and I swear to god if you make me come over there and say "Earth to whatever the poo poo your name is" I will loving gut you, and a dude who I can only assume is supposed to be her husband jumps in to say "from Marblehead" with fake cheer like he can compensate for his wife's bitchiness and be all come on Janet I thought we agreed we would enjoy ourselves so we had something good to bring the to marriage counselor.

Ohio tourism in a nut shell.

I went to Houston once and there was a guy pushing a shopping cart full of scrap aluminum down main street at 7am. also a guy trying to open every car door in a big parking lot and lots of people doing heroin on the streets. Ohio isn't perfect but it's far from the fly infested anarchic hell that is Texas. this is my review.

Ok Ohiogoons, what's the best restaurant in C-bus?

Cameron Mitchell restaurants are pretty good across the board (I'm quite a fan of The Pearl). Katalina's in Victorian Village is pretty loving bomb, and we have Jeni's ice cream which will kick your local ice cream parlor's rear end. Basically move to the Short North if you like good food.

yeah but once you have it totally depleted it gets to the point where it cant recover. That's when "good" and "bad" don't matter anymore and normal human emotions don't apply anymore

I went to E. 4th at 11PM on a Friday and everybody was gone and the bars were putting all the chairs up. I guess our city likes to get to bed early, or at least the 40 year olds who stink up the bar scene on E. 4th

There's this little coffee shop at Shaker Square that's pretty nice.

Mike Polk isn't even from Cleveland, which makes it pretty funny that he is like their spokesman now.

He's actually from Warren which Youngstown claims as part of its ungodly metro area. So he's all ours.

If you don't like Ohio it's because you didn't like your life here and rarely does the city or state that you grew up in matter. If you've posted 7 times in this thread about how you hate Ohio I'm sorry you're a loser, Ohio didn't make you one, you would of been a loser in any other midwest state. Same with some of the bad qualities of the state "People said the N word", Uhm, have you been to any other state in the U.S.? News flash retards every city in America is segregated and full of trash.

Anyway, last year I was in Russia about 500 miles east of Moscow and it was funny when people in russia asked me "How's the weather for ya? Cold I bet?" and it was like no actually it's currently colder in NE Ohio.
