Ohioan Thread

[rua2j33]

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?

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

Never been to Cedar Point but I love Kings Island!
