OHIO - We are round on the ends and High in the middle...... O-HI-O
Ohio is the best state to live in. Cities like New Philadelphia, where you can let your kids play in your own back yard and not have to worry about them as much as you would if you lived in New York City. It's a place where you can be proud of where you grew up. Did you know that....
-Marietta was Ohio's first permenent settlement.
-Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the first flight in North Carolina, but were from Ohio.
-Shoenbrunn which is located in New Philadelphia was Ohio's first school.
-The Wright Brothers, from Ohio, developed and flew the first airplane in 1903.
-First Ambulance systems were established in Cincinnati in 1865.
-Cleveland is the home of America's first traffic light.
-Akron was the first city to use police cars.
-Cincinnati was the first city to have a professional fire department.
-Ohio was the first state made out of the Northwest Territory.
-Cleveland was the world's first city to be lighted electrically.
Anyways - come visit Ohio - esp Tuscarawas County - If you don't like then you don't like - but you can't judge a book by it's cover.

A Quick Listing of Rules to Learn About Ohio Before Y'all Visit Here:
1. Do not mispronounce our state name. It's "Ahia" or "Ohiuh" or "Ahio" or "Uh-hi-uh" or some variation of the forementioned (or sometimes, in the southeast, just plain "'hia"). It is NOT "Oh-high-oh". Just... no. This is the easiest way to tell if someone's from out of state.
2. Ohio is not all flat. If you think this is true then you've obviously avoided the entire eastern part of the state which is quite hilly, especially the southeastern part, being the edge of Appalachia.
3. We are better than Michigan in everything we do. Period. We have been brought up knowing and understanding this law (every Ohioan knows the song "I Don't Give a Damn For the Whole State of Michigan!" by age five); if you have the stupidity to yell, "I LOVE MICHIGAN!" in public then you will be mauled (except for maybe in Toledo, which might as well be in Michigan).
4. There are three different distinctive Ohio accents. These are:
a. The Southeast accent: From Wilmington to Cambridge and below (basically south of I70 and east of I71)(especially prevalent along the West Virginia border). Commonly mistaken for a Southern accent. I once had a teacher from Chillicothe who would tell us to "'Collar' your pictures with crayons!"
b. The Middle accent: From Cincinnati to Bellefontaine, then east to Coshocton. The median between a southern and a northern accent, commonly referred to as the typical, ideal American English accent.
c. The Northern accent: From Lima to Dover and on up. Features the stereotypical midwestern twang (most northerners don't realize they have an accent, but they do).
5. We like our corn. Corn goes with everything. And we all know the saying, "Knee high by the fourth of July!"
6. We're the only ones allowed to insult our weather. Sure, we hate it, because it changes constantly. The only thing predictable about it is that it's sure to be UNpredictable! Winter weather in May and spring weather in January? Normal. However, if you come here and complain about this, we'll agree with you... then kick your ass. We're rather proud of our sucky weather. Come back with snow boots and a pair of shorts next time and suck it up like a man.
7. It's normal to sometimes receive change (primarily pennies) in the form of Canadian currency. Don't worry about it, you're still in America.
8. We think it's hilarious when you struggle to pronounce names like Tuscarawas, Wapakoneta, Cuyahoga, etc.
9. Yeah, we have a town called Hicksville. Get over it. Delaware is a city and a county, and Lima (pronounced LIE-ma) and Miami are in Ohio.
10. WE'RE STILL BETTER THAN MICHIGAN!!

1. I'm from Ahia!
2. Ever been to Jackson County?
3. It's all Michigan's fault. See the Michigan-Ohio War.
4. Clevelanders sure do have a hard time understanding what people from Gallia County are saying.
5. It's everywhere.
6. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and sunny. Today it's 30 degrees and slushing.
7. You're not in Canada yet.
8. "What is Coo-yuh-hoe-guh??"
9. And it's up north, bordering Indiana.
10. Go Bucks.

Just admit it... the best state EVER. Also, (refering to defn. #14) don't diss Ohio if you can't even freakin spell "CLEVELAND" right. Secondly, Ohio WAS NOT the Flordia of the 2004 election. We voted red (like it or not... frankly I voted white) 51% to 49% so you all can piss-off. Statistcally, people that live in northeast Ohio around C-Town North (that's Cleveland) have the correct pronounciation of the American English Language so y'all can just kiss my brass. Not to mention we have the best roller coaster park in the nation (Cedar Point) which holds more than 13 world records. Yes, our seasons are Winter, Construction and More Construction but hey... at least we're not Michigan.
Oh yeah... it's POP not SODA

Anyone who thinks this is a good state has obviously not lived there their whole life like I have. I would 2/10 not recommend ngl, our only redeeming qualities are Lake Erie & Cedar Point.
The weather is extremely unpredictable, it could be 30° and sunny 1 day, then 65° and cloudy the next day, but don't forget the random snow in the middle of April. Despite all this, only we are allowed to insult our weather.
Never say anything good about Michigan or bad about Ohio state unless you have some sort of death wish.
Ohio is also kind of in the mid-west and kind of not, nobody can seem to decide.
