Is everyone forgetting about Cedar Point? In my eyes Cedar Point completely makes up for everything else wrong with Ohio, it is the best amusement park I have ever been to. Plus the area around Cedar Point (Sandusky) is awesome and almost feels like you're on the coast of an ocean. I try to go to Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay Island every year for vacation.

Take some friends and rent a charter fishing boat in Sandusky to fish perch. You'll all have your limit in a few hours and have hundreds and hundreds of fish to cook for the rest of the year.

I live in NYC and I try to go to Ohio on vacation every year just because of this place...

"When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always twenty years behind the times." -Mark Twain

As a current Cincinnatian I can attest to this. The same holds true for a lot of Ohio.

When the front falls off from a ship, move it to Ohio.

ps. Maybe the fact that is the largest USAF base is located in Ohio has something to do with the number of astronauts?

Normally when you're quoting someone, it's good to include their name. Unless I'm mistaken, Stephen Colbert originally said this...so it would be nice to give him credit. You can correct me if I'm wrong.

Honestly, As an Ohioan who has lived other places it isn't that bad here.

klovely78 · 1 year

Maybe it's because of Ohio's rich aviation history?

Ohio = seven presidents. Eight if you count William Henry Harrison, which is debatable.

On my first real road trip out of Pennsylvania, I heard a trucker tell this joke on the CB radio:

Why do the birds in Ohio fly upside down?

Because there's nothing good to shit on.

As an Ohioan, I think the better questions is, "What is it about Ohio that makes us badass space traveling adventurers?"

Ohio isn't all THAT bad.....is there little to do? Eh somewhat. However, you spend 12 years combined living in Louisiana and Mississippi, and you'll jump at a chance for living in a place like Ohio.

How many astronauts came from were YOU live?

Let's face it...Haters gonna hate!

Ohio politics are absolutely terrible, we are so far in the dark ages on so many levels. That is what makes most people want to blast off into space, or at least just GTFO of Ohio. But, living in Cleveland for almost 20 years, I can tell you that the entrepreneur activity these days around here is very active and the pulse of the people is very progressive. The creative community (especially the craft beer makers and culinary explorers) is really starting to embrace and subsequently transform this city and state, and it is the first attempt at revival I have seen actually working throughout this city and Cuyahoga county in general. It is working East and West, and most importantly, even bridging the decades old gap between Cleveland's Eastsiders and Westsiders.

It is a beautiful state, too. Come visit!

Ohio born and raised.

The reason there were so many astronauts and the Wright Brothers and more Presidents than any other state is because of one thing....

Being raised in Ohio, for the most part, means good, honest traditional values and a very strong work ethic. Tie that in to politeness, caring for others, helping your neighbor, etc. and you'll get why this is a cradle of greatness.

novotlr · 1 year

I hate everything about this. Love my Ohio for its good and bad points, just like every other place. Cleveland till the day I die. People who haven't been here, come see why this city keeps showing up on best of list for the past 5 years. Or not, we'll keep our hidden gems to ourselves.

What's it like in Cincinnati?

nukez · 1 year

Ive been to Cincinnati and I found it to be quite nice, where the whole good values and strong work ethic stands true. BTW, for any LEXX fans out there, remeber the episode "Lyekka". It makes a pun on this fact, since the 3 astronauts come from a planet called Potataho.

I'm from California and through my experience in the military, I've had the opportunity to have visited Dayton and Cleveland. Although completely different kind of cities, Dayton the sprawling suburbia type and Cleveland the Metropolitan type, both experiences were friggin terrific! Great people, great food and great sports! What more can you ask for? One thing I remember the most, upon returning from a tour in the Middle East, was this downtown Cleveland Police Officer. Once he found out we were just returning from overseas, he walked us over to this hip nightclub and TOLD the owner that we were to all get in free and the owner happily obliged. Cleveland rocks!

Not that anyone will see this, but here goes: I always say, as a transplant from Chicago to Columbus: "You can always tell when someone is from Columbus because they hate it. You can tell when someone has moved to Columbus from somewhere else because they almost invariably love it." I know I do.

I'm from Idaho. Twice, while visiting Georgia, I was asked where I was from. When told, they corrected me. One was, "You mean Iowa." The other, "You mean Ohio." "No, Idaho. I know my home state." This has nothing to do with astronauts leaving Ohio.

Can't speak for much of Ohio, but Cincinnati blows. Like really blows. My wife and I moved here from Houston 6 months ago to be closer to family. Being born and raised one state away in Indiana, the backwards, conservative, "keep your head down" attitude of the people here is soul crushing. Can't wait to move back to sunshine, happy people, and an economy that's worthwhile.

Having lived in the burbs of Cleveland for 18 years and in beautiful Athens for the past 3, I have some real love for the state of Ohio. I had a sheltered cushy middle class childhood and never really witnessed any downsides of life based upon where I was living. Because of my experiences growing up I have always had such Cleveland/general Ohio pride. There is no way that most of the southern states and the mid-eastern states could provide more than Ohio. California, Illinois and Colorado are probably the only other places I would like to live more than Ohio.

helgie · 1 year

This statistic (while utterly hilarious) is also interesting when you consider that the Wright brothers– the men to pioneered manned flight –were from Ohio as well. Quite the legacy of aviation.

I've lived here my entire life and I grew up in the poorest most illiterate, uneducated, unemployed part of the state (southeastern). I have heard this joke before and while I am certainly not offended by it, I think I look at a different way. WE FUCKING PRODUCED THIS MANY ASTRONAUTS! How cool is that! 24 human beings that were born and raised in this state had what it took to become a part of one of the smallest most select classes of people in the world. I'm proud of that. And we produced two of the best in Glenn and Armstrong. We also produced the second most presidents though most of them were some of the worst. Ohio is a weird-ass state, we are all at once a river state, a lake state, a flat plains state. We have elements of being a southern state, an Appalachian state, a metropolitan state in our 3C cities and a traditional mid western farming state. It's a fucked up state but I think it is the best kind of fucked-up!

I am from Michigan and the coworker who sits next to me is from Ohio. We spend a large portion of our work day making fun of the other's home state.

I want to say thank you to you, and to everyone in this thread for their contribution in making his day that much worse.

I was born and raised in Ohio, and moved out of state for six years. Coming back home was the sweetest feeling in the entire universe. <3 Ohio. Fuck the haters.

EDIT: I've lived in beautiful places. Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island, St. Louis (Yes, I love STL), Sydney, Australia...Ohio is still where I would rather be. :)

There has been 324 Americans who have successfully been in outer space.

Ohio consists of 7% of that. That's actually pretty high considering there's 50 states/

Spend a few days in Warren/Youngstown (or more aptly, "yompten") and you'll know exactly why. This area will literally suck the life right out of you during your visit.

ohio is the home of the wright brothers, and i'm sure that is a point of regional pride. seeing as kids hearing stories of the wright brothers cant invent the airplane they are moving on to the next frontier.
