Would you move to Ohio if this happened

Ohio (besides the football teams lol) is alright. Been there lots of times as I have friends in Columbus, Dayton and Xenia.
It borders one of the best states ever.......Pennsylvania!
I do agree Xenia is kinda cute....that's where my husband is born. But still I wouldn't want to live there. I don't like having to use the car no matter where I go! 🙂

yeah.. they do lol...
Lol, yeah it's kind of "empty" out that way. I guess if ya like being in a place with a quiet, small town feel, that's your place. The AirForce base is cool to visit though. And it is interesting to be in a place where one of the deadliest tornadoes of all time hit, during the supercell outbreak in April of 1974. That was before my time though but I've seen footage of it and damn! That tornado was an F5 and devastated that whole little town. The church that is directly across the street from my friend's house had to be completely rebuilt.
Hehe. To each their own. Not everyone is going to like a certain place so it's all good. 🙂 No hard feelings.

Well, you know, Dayton is just beyond Xenia, so all the emptiness you encountered on the way there (especially if you took US 35) ends about Xenia.
Ohio has plenty of tornadoes. Just ask Rhiannon's husband about them.
You only create your own experience to a point. Ohio has better weather than Vermont or NYC. It has more people than Vermont, but not the epic numbers that NYC has. So I guess coming from there, that's a plus. But winter is long (especially in the Cleveland Akron area), and weather often crappy. I"m told Northeast Ohio has the 2nd highest incidence of seasonal affective disorder (behind Seattle) in the country. The economy sucks there, and did even when the rest of the country was doing well.
But Columbus and Cincy are the only places I'd consider living in Ohio. I actually do like Columbus. Lots of good memories there, and I love the Donato's on High Street at the north edge of the OSU campus.
But I'll keep my mountains, the Chesapeake, the big rivers, and the deepest history in the United States here in Virginia. I had 28 years of Ohio. More than enough for me. First time I returned to NE Ohio after moving here, I just got nauseous. West Ohio isn't as bad, and I don't mind visiting out thataway to see my parents and such, but I think living there again would put me on the edge of suicide. Now that I've tasted Virginia, there's no going back.
But if you like Ohio, more power to ya. I just can't stand it. But then some people don't like my Virginia.

I'm with ya on cornfields. I don't like that I now know the difference between sweet corn and the corn that's fed to livestock, as well as how to identify soybean fields versus tobacco fields. Fortunately, my job doesn't having me going in that direction, much anymore.
On the other hand, c'mon, now! How can ya say Touchdown Jesus is creepy? Look at him! He just exudes awesomeness! 😛 It's like he really wanted the Bengals to make it! 😀

To the original poster, can the meteor land on Mike Brown? I think many people in Cincinnati would be VERY happy to see that happen, despite the aforementioned side-effects.
Okay, ON TOPIC, I already live here. I'm not going anywhere else anytime soon, if ever, and my only real complaints are the lack of an ocean and New York-style pizza, so why not have a space/tickling phenomenon hit this state and make us all just a little crazier? That's a much better hypothetical scenario than a zombie apocalypse, and it'd be much better to hear THAT on the news than hearing about mothers putting their babies inside microwaves, or a man inviting women to his house to strangle them and bury them in his basement, stinking up his entire street with the smell of rotting flesh. I have to admit, though, it would be rather strange to be riding downtown Cincinnati in an armored car, to see people chasing each other around trying to tickle each other. I'd probably get pissed at people for running into the street in front of my truck while roughhousing. I'd also have to wear my vest, and not for fear of being shot.

Okay, TECHNICALLY, that airport belongs to Kentucky. It's the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky airport, and it's airport code CVG stands for Covington.
Darn those crazy Kentucky people! 😛I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience there, though.
So, uhhh... did they cavity search you?
I saw those signs too. And nothing says "Good Morning Sunshine" like a siren that goes off at 4am lol. I was in Xenia visiting my friend two springs ago for her son's communion and stayed with her for two nights. We don't get too many tornadoes here in southwestern PA so when a siren goes off here, it usually means a fire somewhere. Being the weather ***** I am though, I got up and ran to the porch, trying to see something while my friend telling us to get to the storm shelter. It was just super windy and lightning was everywhere but I didn't see anything. When it was over and the sun came out, we found out that an F3 passed about 2 miles to the north of us. I guess if it was light out I might have seen something though.
Ooh, I LOVE Virginia!!!!! Another state that I frequently visit and if I had to pick a state to live in besides PA (and couldn't go back to Hawaii of course), it would be VA, right around the Newport News/Hampton/Virginia Beach areas. I have been all around that state though and it's so gorgeous and the people are wonderful! And being a history buff, it doesn't get much better! Yep, I'm a fan right along with ya.
Oh yeah, back to the OP lol. I did really like Xenia though. But for me it's nice to visit but I don't think I'd want to live there full time. I may change as I get older though, if/when I should ever want a small town feel.
It's a cute town! Of course PA has a lot of those small Mayberry-like towns as well. I guess wherever feels like home for someone, is home. 🙂It sure would be great to wear my black and gold in Ohio though. I've always received such warm responses to that, esp. in the Cleveland and Cincy areas.
OH MY GOD THAT'S HIM!! HOLY SHIT, I hoped I never had to see him again! That thing creeped me out beyond believe, I can tell you! I had this vision that he would come out of his little pond every second and then take a Godzilla-trip to the nearest town!

LOL I've never heard anyone say they were afraid of "Godzilla Jesus". THERE'S an idea for a movie! 😀
He's known by several nicknames. "Touchdown Jesus", "Drowning Jesus" (because he looks like he can't swim and is pleading for help.), and "Big Butter Jesus" (I'm not really sure why, except that I've heard it's because he looks like he's made from butter.). I'm get to pass that statue on my way to Dayton, tomorrow!
O that's where he is...on the way to Dayton....that explains why I saw him more than once! "Drowning Jesus"? Shouldn't he be able to walk across water? 🙂
And which religious group would actually have the money to build something like that!? I know in Germany Christian churches have trouble buying new pillows for the chairs at church because there is not enough money!!
By the way, I just thought of something else that I didn't like Ohio for...there I am, flying thousands of miles to come from Germany to the US, and what do they have?? A SAUERKRAUT-festival!! You know, could have gotten that AT HOME!

The church is called the "Solid Rock Church". I don't know much about it, but yeah, it does seem like a shameless display of wealth. That's the type of behavior I expect from my Catholic brethren! 😛 😉 j/k
Also, I can understand your not wanting to partake in Octoberfest/Oktoberfest/however it's spelled. Instead, you should've been eating some Skyline or Gold Star, if you really wanted to taste Ohio.

Yup, Angel. We're moving down to that area. Williamsburg is the target, tho. Historic Triangle anyway. It is made of super-awesome!
And yeah, the meteor on Mike Brown would be great.
Yeah, SR Church is between Dayton and Cincy, you see it right on I75. Exit 28, I think. Now, I can understand them wanting to put up a statue to honor their God, but seriously, they blew it. The idea was fine, the execution....not so much.
Akk, stay away from the Cincinnati chili. Dreadful. There's a reason why they could never break into the town I grew up in. We had real chili dogs, not that Cincinnati stuff. My brother loves Cincy, wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world, but wishes he could exile the Cincy chili.
What was the original topic again?
