Dear southerners... If you move up here to Ohio and someone invites you to a "barbeque" keep in mind what they really mean is " come over and enjoy our hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill" Don't expect brisket and ribs,thanks for your understanding
Add chicken and kielbasa to that grill in northeast Ohio
I'm from Texas and I expected as much lol. I live in Wisconsin right now btw.
@@vrf3 if you eat enough tater tot casserole it will fill the BBQ void
@@ajfstrom nothing replaces Texas BBQ lol but that sounds delicious :3
That’s false advertising!! 😂
As someone who is born and raised in Cleveland, I completely agree with you on dissing Ohio. It's completely true us Ohioans will talk all kinds of mess about the problems in this state, but an outsider will never be able to do that. Especially in the Cleveland area!
EVeryone is always dissing cleveland yet I cannot think of any city that is any more representative of the United States or it's prospects!
I’m from NYC and can relate. New Yawkers will complain to each other about trash and smells and the rent and gov’t but the moment some jabroni says where I live sucks, it’s personal. :p
I’ve not been to Ohio so I suppose it’s on The List. I don’t joke about Ohio being bad more just the jokes of it being an existential threat that will consume us all.
Fellow Buckeye here! Only we can diss Ohio. We are a bit tribalistic about Ohio. I always say… whatever they have against Ohio, they hate about the US! We are a mix of everything
@@larsthedude1984I see you’ve been keeping up with the memes. Yeah we’re coming for guys alright 😂 but no seriously it’s like that in a lot of places, A friend of mine from Michigan says MI residents are the same way. Honestly, For a lot of people, where they live is like that drunk relative they have where they hate how much of an alcoholic he is but in a way he’s still family so they still love him nonetheless
I was going to post “The Don’ts of Ohio: Don’t visit Ohio. Saying this as an Ohioan, of course.” XD
As a Buckeye, I think you've done an excellent job showing my home state!
A few more don’ts: DONT SKIP Put-In-Bay. Put-In-Bay is a town on South Bass Island with some really cool sights. You can go up to the top of Perry’s Monument and get some amazing views up there. If you look East, you’re looking DOWN on Cedar Point! And on a clear day, you can see all the way to Cleveland! The bar and restaurant scene is really good there as well.
DONT call breaded and fried potato wedges fried potato wedges. They’re called JOJOS. If you call them potato wedges, people will argue with you over it.
Putin bay is owned by Putin and I would never set my foot there. lol
@@skamravec okay you conspiracy theorist
@@alirode4958 might be
tbh Put-in Bay is a party island, we go there to get drunk af and have a good time and if ens you get in trouble with the police, dont worry they make you sleep it off on the docks so nothing goes on your perm record.
@@brandy2378 like I said, DONT skip it. But, there are other things to do than just party.
Cincinnati has two amazing examples of art deco architecture: Carew Tower and the Train Station. I think the latter is the epitome of art deco with its half dome and amazing stone work and facade.
Thanks! I am looking to film in Cincinnati next spring.
And there is the Cincinnati zoo and Jungle Jim's
And don't forget about skyline lol. This video is all northern Ohio. Don't forget about the rest of the state.
@@woltersworld Looking forward to it- A Cincinnatian :-)
@@woltersworld as a Cincinnatian I would love more people tp come and visit us!
I was born and lived in Cincinnati, Ohio all my life! One thing I love about my city is the amazing festivals and city-wide events. We have BLINK, Oktoberfest, Taste of Cincinnati, Glier's Goettafest, and a lot more! There are a lot of fun weekly food events like burger week, taco week, chicken wing week, and so on. Some restaurants and food trucks are creative with their menus and it's the perfect time to receive some food discounts! :)
Finally showing OH some love!
Ohioan here. Well done. I'd add Kings Island and the wooden rollercoaster collection and Sauder Historical Village, Sunwatch, and Ohio Heritage Village. Great outdoor historical sites.
Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??
Definitely agree on this one
He talked about roller coasters, and failed to mention THE BEAST at KI!
Sacrilege! It’s the best wooden coaster in the world.
Here’s somethings to do in Ohio…..
Columbus- The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Ohio State House, The Shoe for Buckeye fans
Cleveland- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cuyahoga Valley Natural Park, Christmas story house, Cleveland Museum of Art, West Side Market
Toledo- Toledo Zoo, Toledo Museum of Art
Cincinnati- Zoo and botanical gardens, Cincinnati Art Museum, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Coney Island
Dayton- National Museum of The US Air Force
Sandusky- Cedar Point, Tofts Ice Cream
Celina/St Mary’s- Grand Lake State Mary’s
Mason- Kings Island
Logan- Hocking Hills State Park
Canton- Pro Football Hall of Fame
Mansfield- Old Mansfield Prison Tour
Port Clinton- Beaches, Ferry to Put in Bay
Fremont- Rutherford B Hayes Center, Fremont Speedway
There is so much more things to do in Ohio this is just a start. Remember in Ohio you can find it here…..do I know what that means?…..absolutely not but Ohio has a little something for everyone. Give Ohio a chance before dissing the State. OH-
Ahhh you bring back memories! I grew up, and still live, in NW Ohio. Something I realized years ago about the Amish population around me is that not everyone has them and it blew my mind because I grew up always passing buggies in cars and seeing them plow their fields. As a child I thought everyone had that until we had some people from out of state come to visit and just seeing the Amish blew their minds. I'm lucky to live on the Indiana/Ohio state line so I see both the Ohio and Indiana populations. Besides that, the lakes, parks, and food mentioned bring back lots of memories.
Which town are you from? I used to live in Edgerton.
I have family In Lorraine, Avon and Akron Ohio
I took a tour of the old Miami Erie canal in NW Ohio last year. Pretty part of the state.
@@sooners2037 It’s spelled Lorain.
Fun fact about Cincinnati: the Roebling Bridge, which is the suspension bridge between Cincinnati and Kentucky, was actually built as the prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge.
Cool fact
Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??
The people in Ohio are very friendly, warm and welcoming. I remember crossing the state line from pa, my first time in the midwest from a lifetime in New England, and I thought i was on another planet.
The people with the exception of the highway patrol.
@@lordgarth1 The Staties in Ohio have been well known for decades about nailing people for traffic infractions.
You're on drug's!
@@lordgarth1Especially if you have a Michigan license plate. Then you really better get out😂
@@meekos699 my dad has one
The animosity between Ohio and Michigan is a remnant from the Toledo War in 1835, where militias fought over a strip of land called The Toledo Strip that extends from the lake to the Indiana border with a short north-south dimension (
Thanks for the reminder. The History Guy RUclips channel has an excellent video on that!
I will have to learn about this. My grandpa lived in toledo so went there every summer
Ohio was a state while Michigan was still just a territory so after a standoff the feds stepped in and the Toledo strip was given to Ohio and Michigan got the whole of the UP. I think us Ohioans lost out on this one, in the end, the UP is incredible but I still love my amazing state. Ohio is a cool place no matter what people might say.
Ohioans made it difficult to grow up here in a family that came from Michigan. Mostly because of OSU and the cult around them.
I lived in Toledo for 38 years & I recently visited the UP, primarily wearing my Toledo Rockets hoodie without even thinking about it, until I walked into several establishments where I was told “Toledo? Sorry, we can’t serve you here”. I’d heard the jokes a million times but had no idea they took them that seriously!
Accurate. We live about 20 minutes south of Cedar Point in a small town. Ice cream is huge, OSU football is a religion and the parks are underrated! The Lake Erie Islands are worth visiting, too!
Loved spending summers there
Before I moved to Ohio someone told me there are two religions in Ohio: Catholicism and Football.
They weren't wrong.
@@BugMed Writer Chuck Klosterman called high school football in Ohio a slightly colder version of Texas.
I’m from the Dayton area. Don’t skip the US Air Force Museum, the Wright Brothers sites, or the many Native American sites like Serpent Mound!
Thank you for the suggestions!
Don't forget...
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center museum in downtown Cincinnati.
The National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce, Ohio.
The Proof Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
The greatest museum on the planet.
I hope you will include a visit to Lehmans, in Kidron, Ohio. It is a store that began decades ago, selling non-electric things to the Amish. It has grown over the years - now they sell to people all around the world and it is a favorite stop for vacationing homesteaders. You can watch tours of Lehmans on You Tube.
I lived on kidding road right off rt 30,that is an awsome store,
Yeah, they are SUPER expensive, but I see things in their online catalogue that my gramdma used to have. But they are crazy with the prices.
Stupid auto spell,I lived on kidron, road
The Cleveland art museum is actually one of the best I’ve ever been to. Check it out Mark!
It is great. We loved Cleveland
My daughter keeps finding memes making fun of Ohio and we don't even get it. Ohio is awesome! I've lived here all my life, what's not to love about it? The hiking is awesome! Great video as always.
I move back to Ohio in 1999 from Palm Beach County Florida, my 14 years in business I made over 7 million in the automotive industry those days are long gone ‼️
It’s just a random state that tik tok has chosen to be the forbidden area meme
can't even have the right thoughs in ohio💀
Omg comments from Ohio
only in ohio 💀
Mohican State Park! A underappreciated treasure of Ohio. Hocking Hills is beautiful but constantly full of tourists, so you don't get to enjoy the nature. Might as well be in the city.
Jungle Jim International Market is a great place to visit in Cincinnati. They have 2 stores and are a grocery store with a huge selection of international foods! Plus a huge selection of beer and wine from all over the world! Dayton has the Airforce Museum which is Free to everyone! A great museum to visit!
Jungle jims rocks, I could spend a whole weekend in there.
Jungle Jim's monorail cars are from Kings Island's old Lion Country Safari attraction. Jim bought seven trains from Kings Island for $1 in the late 1990s, after the park shut down the 300-animal wild animal preserve.
I love Jungle Jims! If I don't do my grocery shopping at Kroger, that's the next place I will go.
Canton, Ohio. We are the home of the NFL football hall of fame, every year football fans make the pilgrimage here and our small city becomes the center of the sports world for a week.
Also Canton, as well as other towns in the state produced presidents and astronauts.
First human to step on another celestial body was a Buckeye.
Ohio is so beautiful. I will never live anywhere else. Lots of culture in our cities. We also have awesome Lake Erie to the north, amazing mountains to the east, the rolling plains to the west, the winding Ohio River south. All true gems.
bruh cant do shit in ohio 💀💀💀
Bruh they brainwashed you 💀💀
@@pinkboy1181 frr lmao
Ohio memes are terrible
@@ToledoRailfanFrr ikr
To the rest of the country, when you hear that someone is from Ohio, don't automatically assume that we are all uneducated farmers or hillbillies in flyover country. This happened to me when I visited New York City. I told a guy I was from Ohio and he asked how many cows we had on our farm. I laughed and had to explain that I grew up in a city and the closest farm was 40 miles away. We continued talking and it turned out that I knew more about art and culture than he did.
Lmao alot of people are unknowledgeable about geography. Shout out to Cleveland 💪🏼
They also assume farmers are dumb. My grandpa was a farmer growing up.. he later became an engineer! Farmers are not dumb. Also, Ohio’s size & geography means that we have rural areas right up against cities! We are fairly connected.
Ohioan here. Don't diss us!!!
We diss ourselves enough already.
I'd recommend the village of Yellow Springs. Home of Antioch College, Dave Chappelle, John Bryan State Park, Young's Dairy Farm and Glen Helen Nature Preserve, home of the Yellow Sping. Such a lovely village with amazing people and some killer craft beer.
I remember being in the Cincinnati airport on a layover. It was about 13 years later that I realized that was actually in Kentucky as I tinkered with Google maps on it.
Hello! Fellow Ohioan here. I notice that some things here are just local in certain parts of Ohio, not to say they are not accurate. Like pop, I call it soda. (Cincinnati btw)
Great video, like all of yours. 30 years ago, heading west form NY on I-80, stop in a rest stop just into Ohio. Looking out at the cars, one is covered in smoke and I thought poor people. Oh no, that car was ours. Special small little hose on water pump split. Directed to a Ford dealer one exit west. They were backed up with work but they had the hose and welcomed me to do the work myself and provided the tools. Back on the road in just a bit, great people. There was also an Airstream rally going on in the area and now I understand why.
A couple of other notables that I’d mention are the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, the awesome Italian local restaurants in the Youngstown area, and the truly best Ice Cream in Ohio and other parts of the country is Handel’s again a Youngstown original!
Good adds. The pizza. Everyone who leaves my hometown says that they miss the pizza and that it is difficult to find anywhere else. It seems strange but I think it is from Italian immigrants who settled along the highway 30 track between NYC and Chicago.
@@stephanied.k.3589 Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??
I think it's just a typo, but it's Handel's Ice cream. I used to work there as a teenager in the summer.
@@stuartm6069 Thank you! Yes definitely a typo. I have corrected it.
Jeni’s & Graeter’s! We truly do make the best ice cream
Thanks for the awesome review. Ohio also has interesting Caverns too . From Perry's Cave , Seneca Caverns; and Ohio Caverns.
Other places of interest are the Toledo Museum of Art, Kingwood Center and Malabar Farm.
There is always something to do here if you know where to look.
I was born and raised in Cleveland, and love living here. You shouldn't forget to mention Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland, which is the largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City (only Lincoln Center is larger). Also, to note if you are in Cleveland, Mitchell's Ice Cream reigns supreme!
Great video! Thank you for pointing out so many positives of Ohio life.
Thanks for showing Ohio some love!
Love this. I'm a transplant to Ohio. Moved here a few years ago from PA. Something else people might want to check out is Cambridge during the Christmas season. Theyt go all out here. Both lights and music at the courthouse and Charles Dickens characters along the main drag.
If you are in Centerville, OH, you can't go wrong with Bill's donuts. Also, check out Yellow Springs. You won't regret it. The food is amazing, and it's super eclectic.
It's most definitely POP! 🥰 And you're right. We can diss our state all we want, but we'll defend it to the end.
There’s good and bad everywhere. I’m just outside Dayton. Ohio has beauty just as every other state. Visit Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Yellow Springs is a great small hippie town. Fabulous. Dave Chappelle lives there and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have been sited there visiting.
Toledo is great! The zoo, the museum of art, the Mud Hens, Tony Packos, wonderful Metro Parks…!
Columbus is a great place to live, but a dull place to visit. You really overlooked Cincinnati in this vid. That city has great energy and they are doing fantastic things redeveloping the city center.
Ohio has been such an important part of my life even though I've lived in Montreal most of my life. When I was growing up, my family and I would be going to Cleveland (where my mother was born and raised) at least twice a year to visit relatives. I attended "the" Ohio State University for two years, 15-20 years ago, and I had a summer internship in Cleveland right after that. And finally, close to 15 years ago, my sister married a guy who grew up in Columbus and before that in Cincinnati, and for eight years now they've lived in Columbus.
Another place of interest in Ohio that someone pointed out to me is The Wilds. I haven’t been yet but I’ve heard good things from the 2 people in my state who went.
I had no idea a “safari” type excursion was right here in the US.
Use a rental car, the animals will scratch it up bad
My wife and I bought the expensive tour package to the Wilds and it was worth every dollar! We rode in the back of a pickup-like tour bus fitted with benches. My kids were able to pet rhinoceros and giraffes, to give you an idea. Not sure of the cost now, as our trip was about 5 or 6 years ago. But keep in mind it's quite literally a safari tour just an hour east of Columbus. It is a must to do!
Thank you for shouting out my state! It's always nice hearing people talk about Ohio and hearing their opinions and point of view about our state. Another underrated Ohio "delicacy" would be the briar hill style pizza in youngstown from wedgewood pizza!

I haven't been yet, but the Airforce Museum in Dayton is huge and worth seeing if you're an aviation fan. I only know of it by reputation and from what their website shows, they have a ton of rare planes.
It really is worthwhile. They have stuff from the Wright Brothers to the Space Age to modern jets to Air Force One. It's incredible.
@@camhabibi2217 I sometimes watch the Dark Skies YT Channel and quite a few rare planes are there. The sad thing is, I spent a weekend in the Dayton area before I knew about it. I regret not going now.
Lifelong Daytonian- you can easily spend 4 hours and not see it all. Everyone should go once.
Oh yeah, if you're interested in this kind of thing at all, checking out the museum in Dayton is amazing! It's crazy huge though; definitely an all day thing with a lot of walking. They have an ICBM area, a hanger filled with more modern bombers/spy planes, and area with the older planes since the airplane was invented in Dayton. It's quite impressive.
Even if you're not an aviation fan - the museum is amazing.
OMG! I can't believe that you spent most of this video standing in front of the lighthouse in my HOMETOWN of Fairport Harbor, Ohio! Although I have lived near Detroit for many years, I am a card carrying member of the Finnish Heritage museum there, and also the historical society. Did you have a chance to visit the marine museum at the lighthouse? It is run by volunteers, so hours are limited.
Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??
Go skippers! Lol
Thanks for the great video about Ohio. We're often unfairly maligned as a flyover state, but Ohio is great! We have all sorts of entertainment options, lots of culture to experience all over the state (German Village in Columbus is a must), and wonderful, often world class, museums. I'll take the Museum of the US Air Force just outside Dayton over the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum anyday. Seriously. Ohio may be the "day trip" capital of the country, theres so much to do, Everywhere. When our kids were little, we took daytrip excursions multiple times each summer and never saw the same thing twice. And its very cool to spend the day in a city doing the sights, then drive 30 minutes or so and be in beautiful rural countryside. Maybe the best part about Ohio is since we're often maligned as a state, home and consumer prices are still very reasonable thanks to the coastal folks not knowing about Ohio. Bonus for that is were still full of Midwest hospitality, not big city snobbery or fakeness
Great review of OHIO! Alot of people don't realize how awesome ohio is!
Honestly as someone not even from Ohio, the amount of Ohio slander i see online pisses me off lol.
@@brownjatt21 The Ohio Memes/Slander are really getting out of hand. They were funny at first but now they’re just like ridiculous. I mean don’t get me wrong the weather here sucks and the politics here can be very extreme but overall Ohio’s actually a decent place to live (Sans the Major cities)
Enjoyed watching your video on Ohio. I live in Dublin about 5 minutes from the field of corn :)
Great video! I especially love all the footage of Fairport Harbor!
Always a nice day when you upload. What a fun video as well. Been watching for years, so it’s nice that you still do these videos. Hopefully someday I can travel around the world as well.
Proud Buckeye here, this is my home and I love it!!! This is a great and frankly underrated state to visit, we have so much to offer. It’s a great weekend/small trip place to come and see. This is a great place to visit, and don’t forget O-H
I-O!
Ohio is on my bucket list of places to visit. Thanks for this awesome video. I am planning on visiting Defiance, Ohio just to spend all of my time at Friends of Felines Rescue Center on Power Dam Road. It’s where I spend most of my day on the live video cam. FFRC nation.❤
Come visit!!❤️ Some great places to visit: Freedom Center in Cincinnati, National Air Force Museum, National Veterans Museum, Cuyahoga National Park, & Hocking Hills! All of our state parks are free & Columbus Museum of Art is free on Sundays 💙 There is a lot to do in Ohio
@@meekos699 Thanks Malorie. Appreciate you pointing out some interesting places to visit. I'm thinking about the Spring of 2023. Can't wait.
This video made me homesick. Great work!
Ohio's skyline chili is comparable to Philly cheesesteaks. You either like them or you don't. That's fine. Just don't diss the local food to locals or you'll get run out of town 😂.
Agree!!! My wife was not a fan of skyline. I was cool with it though.
Spot on Wolter. Go Bucks!
Thanks!
I went to cedar point and kings island back in May, and both were amazing.
Born and raised in Huron County, Ohio. Married a Virginian, and have lived down here for almost 40 yrs. I am proof that you can take the guy out of the Buckeye state, but you can't take the buckeye state out of the guy. Matter-of-fact, I have Ohio buckeye trees in my yard. One other thing is that I wish to be buried in the Western Reserve Veterans Cemetery. Have a great day🙂
Hey, Toledo has the Glass Pavillion as well as The Art Museum. Wonderful eating spots,baseball stadium. Visit Ohio again in Toledo.
Speaking of museums, In Youngstown there is the Butler Museum of American Art. The only museum in the country dedicated to only American Artists. Located just off the Campus of Youngstown State University. In Kent Ohio, on the Campus of Kent State University is the Fashion Museum, with a huge collection of Fashion from the 18th, 19th and 20th Century.
Don't forget about the Summer Festivals in Ohio. Every summer all across the state you have Festivals for Italians, Greeks, Polish and a whole host of other ethnic groups. Rib Cook off in Cleveland, great food and fun. In June, you have the Pride Parades. August and September there are the State and County Fairs. Two of the best are the Ohio State Fair and the Canfield Fair outside of Youngstown, Ohio. In the Fall, there are a lot of harvest festivals with apple picking being the big ones in Northern and Eastern Ohio. Haunted Houses, and German Oktoberfest.
So many great things to do in Cincinnati. History, architecture, art, sports, the Zoo, Kings Island, Jungle Jim’s, museums, breweries….
Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??
Do not forget to visit the Air Force Museum in Dayton. Incredible!
I have lived here most of my life and have never heard anyone make the point that it's THE Ohio State University. Most people just refer to "Ohio State." And I've never seen an OHIO flash mob.
Do you live in the Columbus area? My sister moved there and yes, she says the fans insist it is “The” Ohio State.
@@Allaiya. no, not in the Columbus area. But Columbus isn't the same as Ohio in general, so it's false to claim that "The" is an all-Ohio thing.
Columbus is literally the middle of Ohio. What are you talking about? Of course not everything will be the same all over but I’d say Columbus is as Ohio as any other city.
I live in Columbus and it's very Ohio here.
There are 2 universities in Ohio that are named Ohio State university. THE designates the big one in Columbus. And yes, it matters.
Hello, I just subscribed, found your channel because Mr. H and Friends was doing a reaction this current video, so I thought I'd come over and send you a message about a museum that people don't really know about unless you go to Ashtabula, OH, it is called the Maritime Museum. I know about it because of my family history about The Dorothea M. Geary, the first electrically welded steel hull tugboat in the world, built by my Great Grandfather Frank Geary in 1915. I was born in Buffalo, NY, but I live in South Carolina now.... I've enjoyed your videos on the south too!
I just thought I'd share a little family history about it with you....
I have relatives in Ohio.... my mom and dad were born in Ohio, and my Great Grandfather, Frank Geary (who only had an 8th grade education), started his business The Geary Boiler Works and Machine Shop in Ashtabula, Ohio. It was actually opened in the late 1800's, and he and his employees were instrumental in making the FIRST ELECTRICALLY WELDED STEEL HULL TUGBOAT in 1915 . From my understanding electric welding, or arc welding, was a new form of welding at that time, and that tugboat was named after my Great Aunt Dorothea, naming the Tugboat "The Dorothea M. Geary". My Grandmother, my dad's mom, Lillian Geary, who was 10 years old at the time, Christened the tugboat with a bottle of Champaign before putting it into the water. The Dorothea M. Geary was not only used to go out to ships in the Ashtabula Harbor to fix their Boilers on the ships, but in the winter time, they used it to be able to break through the ice to be able to get to the ships that would not be able to get in for repairs otherwise. It is also my understanding that they also were instrumental in fixing the boilers on the war ships during WWI & WWII.... The Dorothea M. Geary is now at The Ashtabula Maritime and Surface Transportation Museum, 1071 Walnut Blvd., Ashtabula , Ohio if anyone is interested. It is kind of strange how we learned about it being at the museum. To make it a brief story, brother was working in Texas and was talking with a new guy who had just moved down from Chicago. He was telling my brother about a Tugboat nicknamed the "Ugh" because it was ugly, but was used for teaching young boys and young teenagers how to use tugboats at the time and that it was originally called "The Dorothea M. Geary".... well that caught my brother's attention, so he called my dad telling him about that conversation and so my dad did some research calling places in Ashtabula, OH. He was referred to the Maritime Museum who had JUST RECEIVED THE DOROTHEA M GEARY TUGBOAT AS A DONATION!!! Wow.... talk about timing! The Director of the Museum was overjoyed to have a family member with direct knowledge of the Tugboat and it's original family history! Prior to that they didn't have hardly any history on it before dad's "out of the blue" phone call!! My dad talked with him about the Geary Boiler Works and stories of when he worked there in the summers while dating my mom! We even did a video of dad telling family stories about what it was like, and specific questions the museum wanted to have answered, so that video is also at the museum.... kind of a big deal in our family.... just thought I'd share it with you.... I know you are interested in American history.... that that is part of my Family history... if you are ever in Ohio again, please check the Maritime Museum out, and perhaps do a video on it.... I'm sure they'd love to have you.... have a great day!
Thank you for this video. I'm from Ohio, great up in Lebanon and live in Cincinnati. WHO DEY🖤🧡🖤🧡
On the subject of ice cream: Don't forget to take the family Young's Dairy barn near Dayton. Lot's to do and eat there. Also - America's largest family-owned O-scale train display at Cornerfield Model Railroad Museum in Middlefield Ohio (near Cleveland). You'll easily kill several hours there.
Don't underestimate the food in Columbus. We have a diverse population and some amazing food here. Just from our house on the north end you can find El Salvadoran, Nepali, Somali, Western African, along with the more expected ethnic foods. Oh, and the Mexican food is awesome, all regions of Mexico are represented. Good stuff.
Love O-H-I-O! Lived in Columbus for 6 yrs.
I feel like Ohio might be a transitional state rather than being strictly in the Midwest. Part of it includes Appalachia, especially Hocking Hills and everything along the PA and West Virginia borders.
Definitely a transitional state, this is how I usually describe the geography to someone who's never been here.
OHIO great video! Spring summer and fall are great!
My daughter has been learning our oddities as she is now down south in college :D
The lake (not the water itself) is really beautiful. Hocking Hills state park is one of the prettiest spots I have been.
OH -
I-O!
Spot on!
Ohio is the only state in the Union that is 'Hi' in the middle and round at both ends.
Bruno, Remember learning that in elementary school
Yep, I’m from Cincinnati, OH and I am NOT a country girl. I just try to hang out downtown or in the more progressive, urban areas and it’s mostly all good (except for the weather sometimes). No cornfields anywhere near me! 🏙
I lived in Oberlin for school for 5 years and I loved it so much.
I'm from rural Ohio. I don't like heavily populated places. I just love quiet. Peace and tranquility are my favorite. The fewer people, the better.
Man you should’ve got the North Market in Columbus in this video
Fav channel frfr
Kielbasa!
Come to Dayton! The Air Force Museum is a must!
Walleye and Perch dinners are great up by the Lake
thanks for sharing.... yeah, we call soda pop in Uk too...where we do where I am anyway. Also it's a good job I don;t have yellow and blue colours. Great video as always. '
Pop with sauerkraut? Cool!
OK born and raised in Cleveland here, Love this video and your videos in general. But you you mentioned ice cream and did not mention honey honeyhut or Mitchell's. My girlfriend is from Iowa moved to Columbus and lived there for almost 20 years.. She now lives with me in Cleveland and she says that Mitchell's is her favorite ice cream she's ever had. Just saying worth a mention, Just keep up the good work.
I will get there on our next visit my friend
@@woltersworld toasted pistachio or banana cream pie... or whatever you like
i used to go to Cedar Point as my teenage days love it there Millennium Force is my favorite rollercoaster
Which Cleveland restaurant has the great Shrimp and Grits?
As someone who has family from Ohio (Lorraine, Avon, Akron) Ohio is a little different on finding stuff to do. I spent my summers there what I use to do was go to Cedar Point in Sandusky King’s Island near Cincinnati the rock and roll museum and Canton for the NFL hall of fame. Some places are smaller such as hiking along the black river in Lorraine going to small restaurants in Lorraine at are forgotten not the big chains such as hot dog haven, George’s family restaurant going to Vermilion and hanging out at Lake Erie. Going to Cleveland itself to see the Cleveland Indians (Guardians) play baseball going to the Cleveland Browns games and Cavaliers games even after they won the Championship in basketball. Outside of that area the state is pretty spacious to explore such as Amish areas I been to stores that they run they make good furniture don’t disturb their community
If you want to find something to do in Ohio, it’s really easy now with iPhones. All you have to do is say: “Hey Siri! I’m in (your location). What’s going on?”
There is ALWAYS lots to do in Ohio - especially NorthEast Ohio.
Great video. I especially like the Cincinnati and Columbus metro areas. A lot to do and the residents are great. Would love to see you do a video on Charlotte, one of the most underrated metro areas in the nation.
I-O !
Thanks for mentioning the great food of Eastern European origin that can be found in Ohio, also Buckeyes. I don't have a problem with Cinncinatti chili, but I get irritated when it's referred to as Ohio's state food dish.
Two don’ts to add…don’t forget about King’s Island amusement park in Cincinnati and don’t eat Skyline, eat Gold Star Chili instead.
I also second the recommendation of Union Terminal (train station) in Cincinnati as well.
You see in Ohio we always address everyone by their last name. Soda Pop. That is why we say POP, it's Soda's last name. Be respectful.
Would have been nice if he would have said the name of the town he was in while giving most of the video , it's a small village about 25 miles east of Cleveland named Fairport Harbor , Ohio ! He's on the corner of High street and Second street in front of the lighthouse.
Born and raised in South Carolina to an Ohioan father. I have been there countless times to visit family and such, mostly the Cleveland area, but I have been all over.
Three things I'd add:
1) President Garfield's Tomb/Memorial in the Lake View Cemetery on the east side of Cleveland is a really impressive structure that caught me off guard. He is not one of the most remembered presidents, but architecture and artistry is really impressive. The same Cemetery also holds the graves of robber baron John D. Rockefeller and the agent Elliot Ness, known for his pursuit of AL Capone if that history interests you.
2) Skyline chili is good, but another great local Ohio fast food-ish item I'd reccomend is getting a Romanburger at Mr. Hero. They are mostly in Cleveland area.
3) The West Side Market in Cleveland is a really unique experience worth checking out as well.
Hello, 🇺🇸I'm Gen James McConville from Quincy, Massachusetts, I only come online at my free time , I'm here to seek for a friendship I hope you don't mind??.
The Toledo Art Museum is also an awesome place to visit if you’re ever driving through Toledo!
Here in Cuyahoga, Portage and Summit Counties the ice cream go to is Handel's Ice Cream based out of Twinsburg Ohio. Twinsburg Ohio has a Twins Festival where twins come from all over the country and sometimes the world to visit and participate.
Don’t miss the pawpaw festival. It is in fact the state fruit after all. Good ol Ahia.
I worked at Cedar Point at the main kitchen for a Navy Mess Colonel, John Cochran what a Guy
Love my home state! You should vlog Toledo more. So much to see and do around there
Toledo Art Museum is great!
@@lizajane54 Yes and the zoo too!
It’s Cornhenge! I mean, Field of acorns! I’m so happy you made the video from there: I live nearby, and it makes me laugh every time I pass it. Cornhenge will never get old. It’s too corny :-P
I use to live near that town known as Fairport Harbor, the town is really nice with the amazing ice cream shop and a second light house visible from Head lands beach to the west.
Ohio bar food is the best!
I feel you may be a bit biased 😉
There's Skyline, Goldstar, Camp Washington Chili, Dixie Chili, Blue Ash Chili, ect...my favorite is Goldstar Chili!
