Ohio doesn't get nearly the national respect it deserves. There's actually quite a bit going on in terms of destinations.

Posted by volnelk Nov 16 '12, 06:49

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

2 NFL teams
2 MLB teams
1 NBA team
1 NHL team

Lake Erie

Cedar Point, arguably the #1 roller coaster park in America.

I mean, I know it isn't New York or California, but it is far from just cornfields.

Lonely Planet agrees. (www.lonelyplanet.com)

Also, when you consider cost of living, instead of vacationing, Ohio is very affordable. - volnelk Nov 16, 07:31
~ why, oh why, oh why, oh -- why did i ever leave Ohio? why did i wander to find what lies yonder when life was so cozy at home? ~ -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 06:57
But... one of the NFL teams is the Bengals. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 06:54 4
- That's fair, but that's still better than Iowa's NFL team. And two words: AJ. Green. -- nm - volnelk Nov 16, 07:04 3
  - So you're saying having the Browns is better than not having an NFL team? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 07:10 2
    - For sure. Young talent. Good secondary. Plus, if you completely disregard them, you get to see another opponent each week. RG3 week 15! -- nm - volnelk Nov 16, 07:12 1
      - And for 3 hours a Sunday the streets are less crowded. -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 07:19
To be fair, mentioning the professional sports teams is not nearly the bonus you think. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 06:54 6
- I feel like it is when comparing them to many of the other states on that list. Sure you take that stuff for granted in NY and CA, but..... - volnelk Nov 16, 07:05 5
  - I would question whether any of those teams qualify as professional teams, but that's just me. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 07:20 2
    - The Reds won 97 games and were 1 game away from the best record in baseball. Not a pro team? - volnelk Nov 16, 07:28 1
      - They're good but they play in Cincinnati. My brother lives there and it was a boring city to visit. - Krusty Nov 16, 07:40

Seriously? You didn't even list the Pro Football HoF in Canton?? That and Cedar Point get Ohio left on the map when I take over. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 06:50 1
- Rock and Roll and Pro Football, plans are underway for an Apple Pie hall of fame and then we have it all covered. -- nm - volnelk Nov 16, 06:52
Too much fun for just one day! -- (link) - Ender Nov 16, 06:50
I was going to disagree until you listed Cedar Point. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:49
