What Ohio city are you from?

The little itty bitty town of Wellington in Lorain county, home of Archibald Willard the painter of "The Spirit of 1776" and Lorain County Fair.

I lived in Finneytown, an inner-ring suburb of Cincinnati for 14 years before going off to college in Toledo last year. I took a lot of things the Cincinnati-area had for granted and now don't think I'd want to live anywhere in Ohio besides Cincinnati if I ever choose to settle down in this state.

Actually visited there once, my girlfriend in high school at the time played in a weekend softball state tournament there - nice little town.

Born in Columbus and raised in Cincinnati. Currently at U. of Cincinnati, loving the city even more than I used to, and thrilled watching the new tallest skyscraper go up!

Its awesome to watch it go up! And watching the Banks Project. Its exciting. I was in Fountain Square last week just having a great time in the vibrancy of downtown. Good luck in school!

My family was living in Cuyahoga Falls when I was born, although technically, I was born in Cleveland. At the time (1958) it was still unusual in many areas for the husband to be present during birth, but my parents found a hospital in Cleveland where you could, so they went there.

After that, a brief stint in Whitehall for a year or two, but then we ended up in Worthington, which is the town that I have the most memories from. Lived there from grade school through high school.

I've since lived in Philly, Tucson AZ, San Francisco, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. For the last 7 years, have lived in the tiny town of Spring Creek, Nevada.

I'm coming back to Ohio this October to do some Fall color photography and check out some of my old haunts. Also going to do the Renaissance festival, Circleville pumpkin show, Hocking Hills, etc. etc.

Lots of good memories of Ohio!

Mansfield, Ohio.

Although it is economically depressed, it was a good place to grow up. Although born in Baltimore, I consider myself a Mansfield native because that's where I did all of my growing up. It isn't the most interesting place, but I do know that i was a good place to grow up. Not too loud, not too quiet, somewhat diverse, eventually they began to get decent food around 2000. If you want average, go to Mansfield.

I grew up in Mansfield as well and it was a good childhood graduated Malabar in '75. That was a good time for Mansfield and lots of things to do and schools were very good, boy have things changed in 'Mansburg'. I feel sorry for people stuck there. Most of my friends left town after College and the only one that stayed had family business or are attny. I still visit there on business trips and can really see the deteriation.
I moved to Dublin, OH in early 80's and few years later to Philadelphia, PA (Bucks County) for a few years which was enjoyable but glad to make move to NE OH (Concord) and then moved to the wonderful town of Chagrin Falls. 5 years ago my wife and I decided, hey this snow belt sucks and let's mouth to Sunbelt, as we were finally getting tired of the weather in CLE. We had never been in NC but thought Raleigh or Charlotte would be nice. We ended up in Charlotte and best thing we ever did.
