Can I be an honorary Ohio doper. I was born and raised in northern Ohio. My family still lives in the Cleveland area. I live in Denver, but I plan on moving back to Ohio some day. ---

I guess so…but only because you’re username is Fugazi and Ian MacKaye is my hero. (i’ve seen them 6 or 7 times) Where abouts in Cleveland were you from originally? ---

Bad news, Fugazi is not from the group but the second album from Marillion. I was born in Bedford, lived in Vermillion, Toledo, Bowling Green, Port Clinton, Lorain, and Liberty Center (not in that order). ---

Cincinnati, Ohio here. I used to live in Clifton so by the “everybody either knows your or knows someone who knows you” Clifton rule, I’ve probably hung out at the same party as you at least once, Glen. ---

I usta drive thru Ohio going home from college… can I be a semi-honorary Ohioan?? But I went to college in Indiana - guess I’m a sorta-Hoosier, too. And I was born in San Diego, so that makes me a SoCal Doper too, right? And I grew up in Baltimore… Never mind. I’ll just sit here quietly. ---

Interestingly, I only see two people that attended _ **OhDope** _ last weekend in this motley group. That’s fine, though, your loss. Born and raised in Beavercreek, everything I own lives in Dublin (Columbus 'burb), I’m stuck in Looooouieville for the time being. I love Columbus.

I am in Blue Ash, another small town near Cincinnati. In my prior Cincinnati incarnations I have lived in Fairfield, East Walnut Hills and Oakley. This is our third stint in Ohio, but I am not a native. And on preview: Yeah, what **thinksnow** said! Better see some of you at the next OhDope. And CincyMiniDopes are always an option for us and our KOI brethern. And cistern. ---

Born and raised in Mansfield, home of the Mid-Ohio Indy car track and the prison featured in Shawshank Redemption. Currently living in north Florida, but will be a Browns fan until the day I die. (Then I’ll root for Miami!) Also, I stay in touch with how the Tribe is doing. The family lives in: Wooster, Dublin, Greenwich (north of Mansfield) and scattered about the state. I’m the only one who defected to the South. I do not miss the weather up there! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-are-the-ohio-dopers/90890.md?page=2)
