Are there any diverse small towns in Ohio such as Portsmouth, Gallipolis, Wilmington, Chillicothe, Ripley, Lynx, Friendship, South Point, Coolville, Marietta, Woodsfield, Brookside, Martins ferry, Stuebenville?

This is an odd way of describing an entire city--please explain what you mean(?)

Its cursed. People messing with things they shouldn't have been messing with. There is a blight on the land. The trees look starved for nutrients. Teen pregnancy is off the chart. Cops are power mongers. Drop out rates for students around there is crazy. People look sickly and malnourished. Kids are very rebellious and have extreme anger problems. That's pretty common in many Ohio areas, but southeast Ohio in particular and Athens in particular. Its like something right out of a haunted movie. Resident Evil, or like some cursed place in Scotland. Very depressing, dreary, and blighted. It was wishful thinking to make the post in the first place. I know better than to ask if any southern Ohio towns are diverse. What was I thinking? Michigan and Ohio, United States dumping grounds. The funk over Ohio wont go away.

LOL! Well you did say you were looking for diversity, right?

I'm not sure what you mean by southern Ohio. Yellow Springs east of Dayton is, I've been told, "different" by which I take to mean if not actually diverse, very open to it. Supposedly comedian Dave Chapman lives outside Yellow Springs somewhere.

You mean Comedian "Dave Chappelle" lives outside of Yellow Springs near Dayton. There isnt really any diverse small towns in Southern Ohio. If you mean racially diverse almost all the small towns in southern ohio are 95% white or more. There are a couple kind of diverse small towns but theyre near large cities (Cincinnati, Dayton).

And you live in a state where the illegals have taken it over and are running rampant with crime and gangs. LOL you bash Ohio. Sounds to me you have this thing about "blights" - could it be a figment of your imagination?
