[b][i]I am from Miami and have relocated to Ohio for the year. It is a total change. My main complaint is the weather. I swear it is rainy, snowy or gray and cloudy 5 days out of the week
Or you can move back to Miami, deal with swampy humidity coupled with obnoxious heat, never-changing (read:booooring) environment, insane insurance costs, alligators and crocs in the lakes/ponds, flying cockroaches, etc. And if thats not enough you can always hang around for the wonderful hurricanes.
I am from Miami and have relocated to Ohio for the year. It is a total change. My main complaint is the weather. I swear it is rainy, snowy or gray and cloudy 5 days out of the week. The housing is cheap however and on the whole the people are nice and friendly.However, if you are someone who likes the hustle and bustle of the city, if you come to the midwest you should stick to the major cities. There are not alot of minority groups outside of the cities and most of the restaurants are chain restaurants, like Olive Garden, Outback and Red Lobster. Not alot of mom and pop places for soul food or Italian. The crime rate outside of the inner cities is low and there are not alot of vagrants in your face asking for money to drink with. But, it seems like the locals are content with drinking, smoking cigarettes and fighting for their weekend entertainment. If you want a slow paced, low crime, majority anglo- saxon community with low nightlife and low housing costs this is for you.
And Mt. Scott is cool too:

The problem with most people is , they don't get out there and really see our country. Its airport to airport, and , all thats in between gets lost to them. Only to be referenced , by what they have heard, been told , or have seen for a brief moment in time , on a fictional TV show. Its a big land , go for it !!
I have no idea how that got in there. No need to call me a liar, it was a mistake. And yes, thats the Pictured Rocks in Michigan, Ive been there. Chill out.
