Why Would ANYONE Ever Go to Your City/State?!?

The pics of the inside and outside of a mosque are gorgeous!

Absolutely no reason at all to come here. But there's plenty of reason to leave.

The Reds. The Bengals. OSU. That's all you've got to care about. Screw the Browns and the Indians(I respect the Indians though). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cedar Point (one of the best amusement parks). In most of Ohio you have flat, big sky farm land. People think what they want about that for all I care. Absolutely beautiful to see in my opinion on a big sky day. To see rolling farm lands for miles. Toledo, Ohio. My favorite big city in Ohio, I lived there for a year. It is a blue collar big city. The train station in Toledo. Nothing to grand, but grand enough for Im_A and grand enough that I am proud to talk about. Bellefontaine, Ohio. The town I grew up in but also the highest point in Ohio and the last I knew, has the world's shortest street. The Great Lakes are beautiful. Southern Ohio is beautiful. More hilly and a nice change of scenery. A very important state for the presidential elections. Newport Music Hall. I love old theaters that now play heavy metal and hard rock. High Street in Columbus, Ohio. Great place in Columbus, OH for bars and places to eat. Easton Mall Center. Basically imagine a small city that is nothing but malls. Any woman would love it and do love it. Plus they have an AWESOME sports bar and arcade in there. Putnam County, Ottawa, Ohio. Putnam County is either the highest rated or one of the highest rated DUI ratings in the state (when I got mine I was in Hancock county so at least I didn't add to it ) but it is also one of the smallest counties in Ohio. Nothing but farming, blue collar country folk. King's Island...another great amusement park. Armstrong Air and Space Museum...famous for Neil Armstrong. Dayton Wrightpat Airforce Base. You can go there and look at jets and stuff and a famous airforce base that is still actively used. It was used for conspiracy theories with aliens as with Hangar 18 and Project Blue Book and it was also home of the Dayton Agrement or Dayton Accords, the peace agreement that ended the Bosnia War. Bellefontaine, Ohio also has a water fountain in the downtown of it with an upside pineapple. Don't ask why, all I know is I know people who have urinated in it so as Dave Matthews or Joe Cocker(depending on your preference) once said, "Don't Drink the Water."

There's to name a few things I like about Ohio. The rest you'll have to go there and see for yourself.

Semi-blind post: I saw this and wanted to help my buddy Im_A out in braggin about Ohio

I'm from a town called chesterland, a lil ways outside of Cleveland. I just wikipedia'ed it and turns out the census said we have a bit more then 2,500 people there, weeee! Chesterland, Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good things about Ohio not mentioned by Im_A: THE BROWNS!!!!!!!!
We have a lake capable of catching on fire because of all the pollution! Seriously though, Lake Erie is absolutely beautiful. A lot of people go fishing there, bring some boats out, relax, and the beach scene is even pretty big in the summer, although that dies out a lot when it gets cold out.

Im_A mentioned Easton town center, Dayton also has an outdoor mall called The Greene, both are very big and draw pretty large crowds. Right next to the Wright Patterson airforce base is the wright patterson airforce museum, which is really awesome, has all sorts of stuff including fighter jets from WWII.

We are the home of Drew Carey and Bone Thugs N Harmony. I actually saw Bone Thugs once at a best buy giving away some new cd's! It was pretty awesome!

We have a couple really good skate parks... I think one is out by cleveland, one's in dayton. I can't think of anything else right now, Im_A hit most of the big ones I think.

I love St. Louis. Will be here forever i hope. People come here to visit me

On a broader note, we have great mixed culture, food, attractions like the arch, the city museum (which is not your typical museum btw) and tons of night life.

There is also employment here. a definate plus.

I love St. Louis and the St. Louis Cardinals!

Indeed it is, 'tis a shame its used for Islam rather than Christianity.
Here's another place I've I've had the pleasure of staying:
Pictures of Moscow, Russia - Picture 44 to 68
There's 12 pages of pics, but this page seems to focus on more where I was/ what I saw

I love that you managed to mention Bone Thugz, skate parks and a toxic lake all in the same post, Kev. That's pretty sweet.




Edit: I enjoyed walking around the downtown area of your city, RD. Very nice. Nice people, too!

LOL! I seemed to have missed that part. I have to go back and read it.

White Dove- yes, it is fun. You should come visit sometime! (but not until the spring when we all come out of our homes)

 

[white dove]

Gym, Turkey looks like an interesting place. The camels next to the cars.. I love that.



Russia is absolutely breathtaking though. Wow.

We never did make it out to the dance clubs while there... Maybe it is worth another trip.

Russia is the best!
I've got more.. the problem is I've been soooo many places its hard to narrow down, but as Germany is one of my favourites (Russia and Turkey are as well) here we go:
Cologne Cathedral And Hohenzollern Bridge, Cologne, Germany - Download Wallpaper | Free Wallpaper
I have photos of most of these palces, but I don't have digital ones I can show unfortunately

I like to mix it up! Besides, those are pretty much the Ohio highlights

Oh I forgot to mention too, the official state flower for Ohio is the construction cone. Drive down any highway there and you'll see what I mean

 

[white dove]

Kev!




Gym, I'm loving the pictures... It's too bad you don't have any more.

I live about 20 minutes (drive time) outside of St. Louis but it is really cool because St. Louis night life is expanding to where i live and it is awesome. I work in the city but the suburban area that i live in, isnt tiny either.

this is the acual city i live in.

Yeah, and Spain is most definitely on my must-go-to-ASAP list.

Make sure to put Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia above Madrid, Spain on your list though!

If you like scenic landscapes- Adana, Turkey or Muelheim an der Ruhr Germany.
If you love architecture: Moscow, Russia or St. Petersburg, Russia
If you just want some where to relax with a nice scence on the horizon:
Greece's eastern islands
And finally if you want to go someplace where they'll de delighted if you DO speak English: Miami, USA
--If you're planning a trip somehwere, send me a 'pm' I might be able to help you plan it out so you hit more exciting venues.
