As someone who lives in an actual boring spot, but still doesnt even hate it, Ohio is not that bad. It has some pretty parts near Cincy and then over by WV. Cincy, Cleveland, and Columbus all relatively fun cities. Not great. Not awful. Easy acess MW, Mid-Atlantic region, and NE.
I dont live anywhere cool and have no emotional attachment to any city in terms of it being “home.” IL obviously is my home, but i am not close to Chicago so my only real connection there is Cubs, Bears, and Hawks. So i am trying to provide objective takes.
I’m literally in Florida right now. Yes the beach is tight but I like seasons and the humid trashiness of this state just doesn’t hit right. Giving states funny nicknames is cute but Ohio is better than Florida whose only redeeming quality is the outer borders of it
