    So sorta similar to other parts of OH? Big Dipper?

    Ya seen Rolling Acres Mall in the past decade or so?

    It's true. Much of Ohio is like that depressed trailerpark that used to be nice and well-kept, but now it's just a place to buy weird looking meth and probably not a good idea to get out of the car.

    I have a friend from Chillicothe & he tells me going out to a neighborhood bar there is a harrowing experience.

    Really? Chillicothe? He said: 'Yeah, Meth.'

    That's really sad.

    That reminds me of SD’s motto:

    It replaced this one that I was sad to see go:

    well now, I won't be driving in South Dakota anytime soon.

    I have 3 casinos within 1/2 mile from my home, yet my neighborhood is very quiet and safe.
    One of them I've never been inside and the other two I only go to for the restaurants.

    Sheesh, we might be neighbors.

    You can buy booze 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and there are slot machines in the grocery stores.

    We have a lot of military where I'm from and related historical sites. The plantations are popular even though I've never been to one personally. Ghost tours and carriage rides are also popular and I've also not experienced.
    You're close to lakes and the ocean. In my neck of the woods there are no skyscrapers.
    In my home town you could walk two or three miles from my mom's place and make it anywhere you needed to be. It's a convenience town that keeps growing fast. Nothing fancy though, fancy nights out were at Applebee's or you had to drive to the next town for olive garden. 😁

    Give me a minute, I’ll think of something...........cowboys, oilwells, The Thunder, OU Football, cost of living is comparatively low, you can buy a lot of house for not so much.
    Great place to raise kids.

    It’s hard to get lost in Oklahoma.
    You can see for miles, all the streets run N-S, E-W, numbered.

    My town made national headlines in the early 90's as the epicenter for the drug whippets. Our local McDonald's has a legendary patron who pirouettes across the dining area chanting "WU TANG! WU TANG!"
    We love you, Stanley!

    My patio overlooks a man made river and I get to see all manner of people walking along the path every day.

    Just last week there was the guy in nothing but a speedo and a towel on this head.

    There's two different guys who like to listen to the radio while walking - one in French and one in an Indian language.

    There is the guy who plays Frisbee with his little dog while blasting Phil Collins on the boom box.

    There's a guy on his bike who every night rides by playing the same oldie, "black is black - I want my baby back."

    There is the guy who sits on the slope and plays a soft Japanese flute at 11 o'clock at night.

    It's pretty cool, except when I want to come out and sit in the dark with no pants.

    That sounds like such a neat community. 😊
    Boo for no pants though. Lol

    So I don't see the issue? What exactly is stopping you? Maybe all those guys keep passing by, just waiting and hoping. :) Except the Black is Black guy. No way do you want to be the 'rebound' girl.

    LOL, Thanks Reenie. It never occurred to me that sitting on my patio with no pants might bring me more luck than a dating app.

    Well now you get to shovel snow in shorts and a bikini; bet that'll draw some attention. :) Or bring your weight sets outside? :)

    Edit to Add:
    Our gov is pretty level headed and reasonable about the Flu and life here has been easier than many other states.

    When I was a kid my parents would take us to visit SeaWorld™ on the shores of beautiful Geauga Lake. This is where I learned that even killer whales can be boring. I also learned the bitter disappointment of watching other people swim and water ski while I sweated through my clothes on painted concrete stadium seating. The worst part was that directly across the lake was a world-class amusement park, and all you could hear in the background were roller coasters and the ecstatic screams of all those lucky lucky people.

    I hated SeaWorld™ with a burning passion. Ironically, they sold the Geauga Lake location to the amusement park decades ago, which nearly doubled its size. This is what that beautiful slice of heaven looks like now ...

    That's right, they just abandoned that sucker ... and now it's a snarl of pricker-bushes full of deer ticks and poltergeists. Welcome to the Western Reserve
