    For starters: Air Force Museum, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, several professional sports teams, gorgeous parks, the best amusement park in the US, and nearly 12 million people.

      Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland browns, are we really calling them professionals?

        The Reds and Cavs are breathing a sigh of relief that you forgot about them

            What about the team formerly known as the Indians?

            Edit: well fuck me for asking, I guess

        You know how many astronauts are from Ohio? There’s such a drive to escape that state that some people feel they need to leave the planet entirely.

        In all seriousness, I think that it’s a great state to be from.

          I imagine Ohio isn’t really that bad. Mostly because I’ve never been there.

            Completely by chance, I’ve lived half my life in various parts of Ohio.

            It’s not hell, but I like other places better overall. There are specific things and people that I miss, but most of those people also left.

            It’s the Midwest. It’s where Americans are bred before they move to the West Coast.

            Ohio is really just like any other Midwest state. The urban areas are on the small but charming, with a surprising amount of stuff to do, but lacking the infrastructure and conveniences of larger metros. The rural areas range from cute little farming communities where everyone is your neighbor, to opiod-ridden backwaters where people struggle to get by.

            I honestly don’t know why it’s such a meme to shit on Ohio when states like West Virginia and Indiana exist.

              We can add Florida and Texas to that list. The reason is, though, probably because Ohio doesn’t really particularly deserve it like those other states.

              Ones a joke, the other is… reality.

      the best amusement park in the US

      Fuck yes. America’s Roller Coast may be the best manmade thing in the country.

        It was also voted the best amusement park in the world for quite a while.
