You have some problem with Ohio obviously too. It is quite interesting really. The big bad city people from Ohio strike again. Lets talk down about them because they know nothing, right? I mean its a constant ruthless attitude from some of you. You bash Ohio to no end to make yourselves feel better, and sleep better at night.

You know, for a year, I would love Cincinnati to just turn its head the other way like St. Louis does with E. St. Louis. That would be great!

I have no problem with Kentucky. Beautiful countryside, and many of my great friends that work for the same company live in Louisville. We never seem to argue about these points, and they know that I do not think they are rednecks like so many of you think Ohioans think Kentucky is.

Yeah, in the 1950's and 60's they moved there. Not anymore though, at least nothing like it once was. London is considered Southeast to be exact, I've never heard it referred to as "Eastern."

Take deep breaths, it will calm you down maybe.

Last I checked we were in 2009. I still see many young couples buying condos in the Arena District in Columbus from Kentucky and other places around the nation.

Calm? There is no need for me to take deep breaths. See I am typing, you can't tell someone's emotion over the internet . I have another window opened anyway, its Arkansas's Joke Thread. Nothing but laughs on this end, and telling some people who don't much about Ohio whats up.

The point is, there is no reason to move there like there was during the 1950's and 60's. We have a lot more jobs here than back then.

I see what you are saying there, but Columbus and Cincinnati's job markets are far more diverse than London's. Kentucky that is...

When you are in a highly urbanized area, that is what you are going to see, INDUSTRY. Look at Northern New Jersey, SE Pennsylvania, etc etc etc.

There are nice parts of Cleveland, just like So. Indiana, but there are also tons of old abandoned warehouses and factories along Rt. 2 and parts of I-90 that make me think of So. Indiana. Maybe you didn't see any industry on one road, but its definitely there. Cleveland is in the rust belt and old industrial areas are just traits of that city along with Buffalo, Detroit, and other Great Lakes cities.

That's better than never having glory days at all - like Kentucky
