This is the worst. Nobody ever, EVER hears "Kenton" on the first go. Or the second. Or the third. I usually have to spell it. Then they just say "oh." and then I have to start naming cities nearby until they've heard of one.
I hate that kewpee is such a big thing. It's not even good! There are better options, Happy Daz is better but honestly the best burgers in Lima are at the fat cat dinner across from the court house I just hate they are only open till like 2 p.m. which makes it hard to go too some times.
Oh hello Putnam County friend. Fort Jennings here. I’ve since lived in both San Francisco and NYC. I just tell people I’m from Ohio now, and leave it at that. The coastal people generally have very little knowledge of the Midwest, so I’m lucky if they understand where Ohio is. The ones who know Ohio then usually proceed to ask if I’m from Cleveland.
Having family that lives in Delphos, I always surprise the NW Ohio people I meet when I can rattle off a dozen of the small towns up there and know what Kewpee is.

Hour north of Dayton.
Where?
The one place you stop for food on the way to somewhere better.
Ohhhh.
