14 Reasons Why People From Ohio Are The Best Kind Of People You’ll Ever Meet

Living in Ohio does something to you. Because we have a little bit of everything here, it’s inevitable that the majority of us develop into well-rounded, down-to-earth, good-hearted people. The following are 14 reasons why people from Ohio are the best kind of people you’ll ever meet.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
1. We go with the flow and roll with the punches. (With weather patterns and street construction zones like ours, it’s kind of essential.)

13. We have a sense of humor and we’re secure enough in who we are to make fun of our crazy state. (Because we know that it’s perfectly OK—and healthy— to laugh at yourself every once and awhile.)
