The 17th state of the United States -- in 1803. Contains 13,000,000 people and its chief cities are Cleveland, Cincinnati, and the capital of Columbus. Ohio is known for being the home of the Wright Brothers, the first man in space, more presidents than any other state, and Generals William T. Sherman and U.S. Grant. Also home of the champion OSU Buckeyes. Unlike what others may tell you, there are larger hellholes in the universe. Ohio has a lot to offer and is a decent place full of decent people.

Noun..17th state of the United States...Home of many great human beings and organizations..Land of rolling fields of verdant corn as far as the eye can see....Home to gritty industrial towns and cities..Columbus is the capital and largest city.
Yes, it is rural, and there is a lot of great soil here for growing a lot of crops. Not everyone is a redneck, nor a liberal/conservative, or even ignorant. Most folks here are educated and open minded, people who enjoy the simpler things in life. What's the rush?
There is to be found in Ohio a beauty unlike any in the region. It must be seen to believe it, from the plains of Northern Ohio to the foothills of Appalachia in the south.
Gorgeous country..
About the weather: It can vary from cold to hot quickly, but only in winter. ..Spring is late April, early May..Summer is a blazer, hot from late June to September. Autumn is incredibly pretty and quite temperate weather..Winter is of course the rough one..Wear a few layers...
I have lived here my whole life, and I have seen many parts of our country and have gone abroad several times..
For those who hold disdain for our state: Why dis on Ohio? It is not a hellhole, you depressing and dramatic whiners. It's just kinda dumb to rag on Ohio. Ohio is a great state, just find your niche and settle in.
"OHIO! It's not as bad as people say!"
Thank you for your time..

1) One of the states of the United States of America.
Home to a bunch of formerly bad but now improving pro sports teams, a ton of colleges, the OSU Buckeyes, actual buckeyes, part of the Rust Belt, Cedar Point and a lot of soybeans, cows, and corn.
Ohio contains a little bit of all the typical Midwestern environments- college towns, suburbs, cities, urban areas trying to reinvent themseles, farmlands, etc. It also contains part of Appalachia, and a large number of "swing voters". It has quite a few ardent liberals and conservatives, and has been the home and/or birthplace of eight presidents. The weather, it being part of the Midwest region, is often "crazy" and swings between hot, mild, cold, and freezing. The four seasons are widely known to be "winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction" or something to that effect (believed to be taken from a Jeff Foxworthy chain email).
There's definitely a lot more there than bad drivers, "hicks", and cows, and just driving through the state does not really do it justice. You've got to experience it to really understand it, and then you can pass judgement.
2) A song written by Neil Young (while he was working with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) in response to the Kent State Massacre, which occured at Kent State University in Ohio on May 4, 1970 when National Guardsmen opened fire on student protesters on the KSU campus.

America is the melting pot of the world; Ohio is the melting pot of America. There will never be a pot more melting than Ohio. Some say this makes Ohio a blurry combination of everything, and that it is not very distinct among the states, but this is cantrary to the truth. No other state is like Ohio, in that it is a melting pot. Also, Ohio's flag is one of only three non-rectangular significant world flags, and the only non-rectangular flag of the states. Ohio's also cool cuz I live there.
DEVO: What's round on the ends and high in the middle? O-hi-o
Which is an interesting joke, cuz in its shape, Ohio is just the opposite: flat on the ends and low in the middle.
Ohio kicks ass.
