Do you live in Ohio??? If so for how long? And what do you think of it? I have lived in Ohio for my whole life. I really don't like it and I would like to know how it would be to live somewhere else. I am really ready to get out of Ohio!

I am 45 years old. I have lived in Ohio most of my life. I was born in New York City and mom moved us here when I was 3 years old. When I was 20, I moved to Houston, Texas for two years. There was a couple of other places for a few short months that I was living, also. I love Ohio. It has what everyone needs for anything. It may be slow paced, but in the 'bigger' cities, it is *just* like the faster paced cities in the other states. Any where I have ever lived, I keep coming back to Ohio. What was it like to live in another place? Houston was *impersonal*, faced paced and nobody cared about anyone but themselves. I am sure that if I had taken the time, I would have gotten to know other people. And I would have liked it in time. I love familiarity. I love Ohio. I live in a little town. It only has 746 people. I love it's smallness. I live just 40 minutes way from Toledo and that is close enough for me.

I was born and raised in Barberton. I went to school in Barberton and Wadsworth. I lived in Tampa, Florida for 10th and 11th grade(nice,but got home sick). Then I lived in Atlanta, Georgia when I married the first time. I liked it there, but not good for a new bride from the midwest. I'm glad I got to experience life elsewhere, but I love living in Ohio. And my theme songs are Small Town, USA and She's Country by Jason Aldean. Have you at least got to visit somewhere else in the midwest or east coast? What part of Ohio do you live? I now live in Wooster. I've also lived in Akron. City life is so not me.

All the places I have ever been are like right underneath my state. Like florida, north carolina, georgia, new york, kentucky. I have never been anywhere west of me or way east, not even south west. I recently moved so now I live in a place called Pierpont, I use to live in Ashtabula which is near cleveland. But now I live 5 mins from PA.

I am from Cleveland I lived in the suburbs and when I went back at 21 yrs old I stayed with my aunt who lives in Cleveland right inbetween shar hts and warrensville...OMG it was so depressing. I used to love Cleveland but I can never live there ever again. I love Ohio do not get me wrong but it just is not what it used to be. I love the country and seeing the Amish. I lived in California for a long time and when you step foot in Ohio no matter if it is by plane,bus or you drove the air is different. It smells clean believe it or not I just wish it was not so depressing.

I have always wanted to visit California to see how the life would be there. I live in Ashtabula, which is close to you by 1 hour to 1 hour and a half. My sister moved to Florida about 8 years ago and will never move back, she loves it there. I think its too hot.

Sorry I don't live in Ohio I have heard of it but never visited it. I live in New Hampshire. It is really nice here alot of trails to hike on, fun filled things to do. The fall time is beautiful here. Alot of tourists will come here in the fall for the foliage and take pictures of the beautiful red,yellow,and golden leaves. Why do you not like Ohio? I heard that is a nice state as well.

I live in Toledo, I have been here for my whole 34 years. It think Ohio is a good place to live, we have all four season, alot of cool places to go, and pretty nice people. I have been to other places that I really enjoyed visiting, but I wouldn't want to live there.

I live in Piqua, Ohio, which is about a half hour north of Dayton. Like you, I hate this state. Most of all I hate the winters here, way to snowy and cold. I want to relocate to somewhere warmer for sure. I have lived in Piqua my whole entire boring Ohio life!

I have lived in Ohio since I was three. I was born in L.I. New York, but because of my parents divorce my mom moved my brothers and I to Ohio. I live in Columbus now. Ohio is nice and all but I'm ready to move on. New York sounds great, doesn't it? hehe

I lived in Ohio for the first 25 years of my life. Down South of Columbus (Circleville and Chillicothe). I wised up and got out 2 years ago and moved to Iowa. Best decision I have ever made.
