Agreed. Moved from Warsaw Indiana to Columbus Ohio, and the only thing I miss is the low cost of living. Not that Columbus is breaking the bank, mind you.

I saw one of these guys at an inyerview once and god knows how he snuck in but it was weird how big a deal he made that seem The official name of the school is The OSU. For whatever reason people get irrationally upset if you omit that one little word. I have no idea why this is so, it just is.

It's because people making 30k a year with a degree from Tri C need something to get uppity about so they chose Ohio State.

I work near the border of Ellet and Springfield. This has led to me be being threatened with stabbings multiple times when I refuse to sell meth-heads their pseudophedrine. Summit County once had the most meth-related arrests for the whole country! Our junkies have got their labs down to the size where they can fit in backpacks and they frequently make meth in our parks! Akron used to be called Crackron, but everyone is too high to think of a new meth-related name.

In Springfield the house we rented was right across the street from a confirmed meth house/Craigslist prostitution 2-for-1 special. There were plenty of comings and goings from all sorts of people. Things came to a head one night when a rival of the gentleman who owned the fine establishment brought a bunch of friends by and pulled him out to the street, threw him against a van and literally beat him with a pipe. Another time I woke up to one of the local junkies rummaging through my car. He stole the cigarette lighter and nothing else. Our house was connected to an abandoned/boarded up house that was full of lead. One time we found a bunch of cats in our house that were not ours. These things were taken into consideration when we did not renew the lease!! BeepBoopBatman fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 17, 2014 |

fyodor posted:also, behold the majesty of gary, indiana (best of all possible places in the world): When I drove through Indiana the people at a truck stop told me that if I had any problems in the next 30 miles or so to just keep driving if possible, because you don't want to end up in Gary at night. It was scary looking, even by the standards of a dilapidated rust-belt city, like some sinister FPS map. Gary just emanates evil. OTOH Cleveland emits some kinda weird toxic gasses from its industrial center, so every time you cross the heart of the city on a daily commute you have to drive across a bridge through a fart gas zone and hope there's not a traffic jam there. Rural Wisconsin is even more barren and dismal than Ohio and Indiana. Milwaukee smells like someone spilled beer on a stove burner, which isn't too bad and you get used to it pretty quickly, except the whole city smells that way. Milwaukee was the only place besides Cleveland where I have watched complete strangers exit their vehicles at a traffic light and commence fisticuffs over the Ford vs Chevy debate. That's pretty loving Midwest. While not exactly Ohio, King Uszniewicz & His Uszniewicztones, an oldies band from the early 70s who played in Detroit-area bowling alleys for beer, are one of the most midwest loving things ever. This is pretty much the song of my people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CVNZBeKhUw

I live ~2 miles from work. It took me longer to clean the snow off my car in the morning than drive to work. I assume all the highways were horrible hellscapes since everyone in Northeast Ohio always forgets how to drive in the snow between winters. Slipknot Hoagie posted:thinkin about taking a potential six figgy job in akron, worth it>?? I live near Akron, it's decent if you live in the right areas. Many of the nearby towns and such are nice places to live, but much of Akron proper is a really bad place to live.
