    It’s the wet sock of our states. It’s the paper cut in the webbing of your finger. It’s the fart you gambled on and lost.

    I spent a short amount of time in Ohio and had a strong urge to leave and never come back. Nothing super specific but just a general feeling that it was not a place I should be.

      I personally like being in Ohio. I went to NYC once and was happy to come back to dear Cincinnati… for my chili.

        Its like the perfect milquetoast state. Weather is fine and not deadly most of the time, people are okay when they arent Republican, we’re populated enough to have things to do in the three cities, and everytime a famous person is from here we point at the screen and get excited :3

        I wish I had a good reason. I sound like Lovecraft (not the racist part) trying to describe my feelings about Ohio. Unexplainable dread washed over me as soon as we entered toledo and didn’t leave till I hit west Virginia. I’ve traveled through and camped in rural areas in 31 different states and the vibes were just off in Ohio. It was like a combination of Get Out and Deliverance
