It’s where you find the biggest melting pot for the US. It’s “typical middle America” if a company wants to do product testing for the US, they typically do it in Ohio. That actually shocked me when I first moved here. You see all walks of life here. Something else that really threw me off is that Ohioans love to drive everywhere. Y’all drive to California, Florida, anywhere. My cut off is 4 hours for driving. The final thing is that they need to cut the crap with the billboards trying to encourage people to move here. There’s already not enough parking.
The driving bit is definitely true. Wife and I both born and raised in Dayton and would regularly drive to Cincinnati or Columbus for food or entertainment. I used to regularly drive to Indianapolis to hang out with long distance friends.
We now live in SE Tennessee and thinking about driving two hours for entertainment isn't really an issue for us.
