Hello Everyone

I am from Leipsic, Ohio, Putnam County, about an hour south of Toledo. Grew up in Bellefontaine, Ohio, moved to Urbana, Ohio a day before graduation, then to Columbus Grove, then to Toledo, then back to Bellefontaine, then to Portland, Ore., and now then ottawa, then to Leipsic. alas, i am a nomad, lol. but now I am in Leipsic for now. Ohio isn't so bad. i know i personally don't like my hometown, but i have grown out of the hate syndrome, to just a dislike. i used to not want to live in Ohio, but i am learning to like it more and more. well that's for starters i guess for the ohioian thread :) God Bless you all! <><

I remember when I first moved to Ohio, on weekends I really "did" the State. At one point, from memory, I could name all 88 counties! Really! Anyway, I was always told your hometown was pronounced, "Bell- Fountain," and not "Bell Fontaine." Right?:D

wow, 88? i can only remember the ones i have lived at, haha. that is the way that i have heard it normally and how i say it myself. now i have heard that the proper way is to actally say it how it is spelled. belle-fontaine or something to that extent, basically the point showing that the way it is normally said, is improper to the way it is spelled, and i heard it is french. which to me doesn't make any sense. the way it is normally pronounced, bell-fountain, is so much easier than the supposed way, belle-fontaine. but that is probably because i am used to the dumb language of English :)

Nothing too much going on here...
Getting ready for school to start...
delaying reading the awful required summer reading books...
getting ready to apply to colleges ...

Has anyone been down to whipps ledges in Hinckly? It is so beautiful. I plan on going back before summers over.
