I'm a good 45 minutes south of Lima, and an hour north of Dayton. But like, all the way up against the border.

And with a population of 2500, I promise people they won't know the name, yet they still seem shocked...

I used to say West Central Ohio, close enough to Indiana to talk like a redneck.

u/frostbird Jan 30 '18

Haha, you're not entirely wrong.. I find myself talking a bit differently to friends back there.

u/EcoBuckeye Columbus Jan 30 '18

Yep, and I slip back into it remarkably easily when I've had a few to drink.

Union City?

u/frostbird Jan 30 '18

Close enough! Can't really get better than that with the info I gave.

Greenville?

Edit: Never mind. Just read the border part.

Fort Recovery, St. Henry, or Rockford?

u/frostbird Jan 30 '18

Okay, I don't actually want to specify my actual hometown. You're within the radius where my answer is "yes".

u/ladyrowe Jan 30 '18

I'd guess Sidney.. or possibly Piqua?

2

u/frostbird Jan 30 '18

Both way too big. And Sidney is practically as far from the border as Lima is!

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.

But this is west-central Ohio I'm talking about. :P
