Ohio's Governor doesn't care for Indiana

[shibumiseeker]

Ohio has great cities? Really? Where?

I'm guessing he is just jealous. Indiana may not be some sort of artsy, cultural mecca (thank god), .

Ahhh, an ignorance of history of our own state!

In the early 1900s, Indiana WAS one of the artistic and cultural centers of the US. Many great artists, poets, actors, and authors were from and in Indiana.

Places like NYC and SF just developed better marketing campaigns.

What a ridiculous article... let's face it. California is full of ****ing awesome places to visit... but I'm not leaving Indiana to move there I'll be the first to say, that I think Indiana is pretty boring in comparison to some places I've lived, but the older I get the more I appreciate the people here....

Hoosiers have created a great place to live... even if there is only corn. The laws are great... the freedom is great... the simple things are great... and the people are great. I guess there is no place like home

Well yeah but, Lucky, the problem is you gotta leave America and go to DiFi's California to see them!

I guess I'm a tad younger than you!

Seriously, though, we actually have a decent artistic/cultural vibe. All depends on what type of art or culture you appreciate.

Many of my "coasty" friends tease me about living in "boring" Indiana. I remind them that there is as much to do around here as anywhere, and the only "boring" things are the lack of natural disasters and crappy politics.

And this is one of the people that will decide on handgun reciprocity that we are trying to curry favor with by changing our requirements?

Ohio does have Wright Pat airbase where they keep the alien bodies. But if Ohio isn't to your liking one can always head to our neighbor to the West. Wait, to the West. Uh, never mind.

He's just upset that Orville and Wilbur's bicycle shop is in Michigan, the Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky, Youngstown Sheet and Tube is nowhere and Indiana still has a manufacturing base.

He can keep his Ohio cities, I'll take my Indiana countryside any day.

Classic.

He is just jealous because Indiana is in the black and does not have Cleveland.

Yea, but we DO have a GARY....

Yea, but we DO have a GARY....

Indiana got $3.8 Billion for selling the Indiana toll road to private corporations. How much do you think we could get for selling Gary?

I say they should consider any offers over 30 bucks.

Well the gov did have officer Harless in Canton. That's one big plus for his state.

Perhaps we could give Gary to Chicago, in exchange for downstate Illinois. A fair trade I think.

Cleveland? Youngstown?

Indiana and Ohio are both trying to get companies from Komifornia and other business hostile states to come to the Mid-west. He's just a blow hard trying to establish dominance in the market for companies looking for a place to relocate. It's a little dirty, but it works sometimes.

$30 is a little high, dont you think? The only thing that Garry adds to the state is violent crime and crackpot politicians. I think a symbolic crisp $1 bill would be sufficient. Personally if I was Governor Pence, I would consider a button, some string, and a ball of pocket lint as a serious offer.

Too bad we have OH to the east and IL to the west. Could be worse though. There's DC, CA, NY, NJ ...

Had to go to Ohio this week couldnt pay me enough to live there

I somewhat get his point. Ohio does have us beat in terms of larger metro areas. But, I hear Cleveland isn't anything to be proud of. Columbus I hear is identical to Indianapolis for the most part, but instead of one massive urban university, Indy has a decent sized urban university and three smaller ones. Cincinnati is nice enough, but the only reason they have the destination places like Bass Pro Shop and IKEA is because those places rely on people wanting to drive. The Chicago metro area will always get places like this, so if one wants to open another store, it really doesn't matter the location, so long that it is centrally located to draw from the metro areas that are under served by current locations. A Cincinnati location helps draw in from Columbus, Louisville, Lexington, Indy, and Dayton areas.

Even with the few benefits Ohio has, I don't really see the massive draw of having two nice large metro areas and one that people seem to speak as if the entire town should be avoided (Cleveland). If people in Indiana really need a lot of different stuff to spend their money on that bad, they can get in their cars and drive to Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis, and unless this guy is going to build a border fence, even into Ohio to visit Cincinnati and Columbus. What we should come up with is something like "Yes, after Indy we don't have any big metro areas in our state. However, by living in Indy, I am awarded freedoms I can't have in the entire state Ohio, or certain municipalities. Of course this doesn't mean I can't drive to visit those places are time or two if need be. Indiana: A great place to live and work; Ohio: A great place to just visit a time or two."
