Im from Circleville, and can relate to about 99% of that shit lol. Good stuff.

Goob, thats a great list. Ohio is weird for sure. I'll always have love for that place. It really gets a bad rap when it shouldnt. Theres alot to do up there... especially in the north on Erie.

Im a huge Reds fan and still cant get myself to like the Devil Rays down here. And to this day, the best looking woman I have ever met was from Lima.... go figure... better than any local Ive ever seen here in Florida.

you met him didnt you ja002

[JASonic]

Oh shit. I opened myself up for that one... I deserve it. LOL!!

Lima is a sad town thats been through alot of shit. Lima is like a "southern" version of Flint Michigan if you know the history of these towns. Old manufacturing type citites. The whole population is completely dependant upon one major employer. So when that company decides to pack up and leave for Mexico or wherever, its like a nuke hit the area and all thats left is dust and dead bodies.

Anyway, funny story about the first time I went to Lima on business.
So Im just getting off I-75 and I see a sign that says "Welcome to beautiful Lima Ohio". The instant my eyes leave the words on sign two garbage trucks driving side by side collide. They both lost control. One of them spins off the road and turns on its side and all the trash comes flying out of this thing. Im talking bannana peels and baby diapers everywhere. It was so poetic to me after seeing that sign.

Worst part is that I went to a follow up appointment down there a week later and there was still remains of the garbage in the area. They didnt even bother to clean it up right.
