I was born & raised in southern ohio, I live in a suburb outside Dayton (not
the best city, but we're working to revive it) splitting Cinci. and
Columbus. I live in a middle class neighborhood, no corn fields, no friends
that live on farms, drive tractors to school or speak improperly.
There are actually kids I remember from high school that had to TRY to be
"country" by wearing cowboy hats & cut off shirts while blaring country
music from their truck, which we all know *doesn't* make you country. At the
end of the day those kids went home to houses & neighborhoods just like
mine.
We have a pretty diverse city, my high school has 2,500 students alone & is
in proximity of less than 15 miles from the other city's (we all boarder
each other, no fields in between, shocker!) high schools that are actually
bigger.
I don't understand why Ohio gets so much flack? We have all four seasons,
(what studies & traveler's have said for decades) to be the nicest people &
the lowest rate of divorce.
We contributed to history in flight, space travel & providing food to every
other state with the agriculture we do have. (not to mention the NFL Hall of
Fame & the rock'n roll Hall of Fame as well) l
We're also a huge swing state with a high number of electoral votes, but
unlike most of the other states that hold higher amounts, our state is won
by different parties based on the actual election. We're not always
Republican or
Democratic, we vary.
I love living here & the great morals I've been taught with etiquette as
well. Ohio is an Amazing state, I wish people would open their eyes, shut
their mouths and give it a chance. Every state has flaws, phrases to be said
about it etc. They also all have beauty as well.
