Yeah. What up with Ohio? Besides the fact that it has the most boring landscape in the union.

For me it's the low speed limit and the fact that Michigan plates seem to get you pulled over. But I love Cedar Point.

...But yes, Cedar Point is awesome.

Kansas would like a word with you.

Flat is at least something. It's consistent. It knows who it is. Ohio is a combination of pastoral farmland, vaguely rolling hills, and the occasional confused river. There is nothing remotely remarkable about Ohio's landscape, it is forgettable in every sense of the word. One can't say that about Kansas. The ONE thing Ohio has going for it is that it isn't Gary, Indiana - aka The Armpit of America. Oh snap!

Well, that and the fact that an Ohio State fan sucker punched me outside of the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, breaking my nose. By the time I was seen by a doctor they said I had to let it heal, then re-break it to set it. Because of one asshole from Ohio's punch I have had this nose broken 3 times. (two of them procedures to reset and repair my breathing). Fuck Ohio.

Man, I remember that. You were ugly for a long time after that. Now you're beautiful again! Welcome back buddy. And Fuck Ohio.

I'm from Ohio- born and raised. I'm an Ohio State student too, and I love it here. I admit that the weather is a bummer a lot of the time, but Ohio has some gorgeous places. See Ohio caverns and Hocking Hills if you're curious! Columbus is also a great city. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Sorry about your bad experience with a rabid OSU fan; we're not all bad!

Oh, I know. I have some good friends that attended OSU. I think Colombus is a fine town, as is Cleveland. When you grow up in MI, you are pretty much obligated to hate on Ohio though :)

Well that's fair! Sentiments toward That State Up North are similar around here!
