So who are the Ohio (and environs) Dopers?

It’s just that now that we’re out here in Marietta we’re wondering who to invite when we get around to the big housewarming party?

So how 'bout it? Ohio? West Virginia? Kentucky? Pennsylvania?

I’m told not to include Michigan for some reason. What’s up with that?

There are none. There are only Dopers in the mid-Atlantic, and you’ve left us forever.

Ohio Doper here! Only I’m on the wrong side of the state. So it goes.

Akron, Ohio and it’s raining in Downtown Cleveland (where I work).

shakes fist in anger

You dratted anti-Kalamazoo-ists!

WHO told you not to include Michigan? Huh? Huh?

–Persephone,
Michigan Doper
(and there’s a boatload of other Michigan Dopers way cooler than me!)

I dunno.

Some guy with ‘The Ohio State University’ on his shirt.

Toledoan here–I’m pretty close to Michigan though, does that make me unclean? :slight_smile:

Was it thinksnow? Because I’m not afraid to come after his sorry rump if I need to.

Grrrrr…

See, I love people from Michigan. (Especially when they’re nekkid.) Just another reason I don’t fit in so well around here.

JC, I’m around here but I think there is some sort of bad karma of mine which keeps me from enjoying one of your parties. It’s highly unlikely I’d make it unless you hold your housewarming in the Tampa Bay area. Which would be very warm, but a tad inconvenient.

I think the caterer’s would balk at the drive.

Call me silly.

I live just close enough to Ohio to commute there every day to work, but far enough away that I still remember not to drive 55mph in the left lane all the time. Apparently that whole “Keep right except to pass” is a new thing in Ohio.

I live about 5 minutes from Cincinnati, just South of Covington, KY.

Whoever recommended slighting the Michiganders probably just remembers the Toledo War of 1835:

But the ironies of history: the Detroit Tigers still have the Toledo Mudhens for their AAA team!

Well, I can look out the window and see Ohio, but I’m about 40 minutes north of you.

Akron, here.

Am looking forward to your ballroom-sized house.

What Gingy said. How silly of you to leave us, yet think you’d still have a life worth living!

Has it occured to you, RT, that might live is worth living precisely because I left?

Do a search on threads I started today in MPSIMS for an update. Other than being a jew in the wilderness it’s not so bad.

And when I say ‘ballroom’ it’s tongue in cheek, you know, Sam. You can see a pic of it up there somewhere.

Hey, JC: Still have that black couch? You could put it in the ballroom, fill up some space.

What?

In case anyone is interested…

Update from Ohio.

Akron Ohio here (well, actually a tiny suburb of Akron)- just moved here from Chicago and there’s nothing to do!
