    Ohio and Pennsylvania
    The Buckeye State and The Keystone State
    Two neighboring Midwestern states in these United States. Ok, well, western Pennsylvania feels Midwestern, but eastern Pennsylvania definitely feels Mid-Atlantic. Heck, you could even classify parts of Pennsylvania as part of the Northeast region of the country. It’s a crossroads state, really. Um, but yeah, this video is about Pennsylvania AND OHIO and you know what? BOTH are crossroads states, with easy access to so many great places. Both states sure do have a lot in common, for real.
    First of all, both are part of the Rust Belt, a region of the country known for declining industry and run down factories. Even decades after most of these factories have shut down, several cities in both states continue to lose population each year.
    Both are probably about to lose one electoral vote in the Electoral College, because the population of both hasn’t grown much in recent years.
    Hey speaking of the Electoral College, if a presidential candidate wins either Ohio or Pennsylvania, odds are they are winning the entire election. Ohio and Pennsylvania pick winners, baby! Pennsylvania picked the winner for all but two presidential elections between 1789 and 1880. Both Ohio and Pennsylvania tend to be swing states in recent years, although Ohio seems to be more reliably Republican lately. Both have one Republican U.S. Senator and one Democratic U.S. Senator. Now, the governor of Ohio is a Republican and the governor of Pennsylvania is a Democrat. But the state legislatures in both states currently have Republican majorities.

I visited Pittsburgh as much as Cleveland, but lived in Pittsburgh for 2 years for school. Nowadays I still live in a boarder town on the Ohio side. Much love for both states.

      I’m also very border, probably a bit further south than you as I have to pass through WV to get to Ohio quickest. As far as Northern WV, Ohio, western PA goes we’re all one in the same. Even as you go up North where you are, all the way to Erie. Now, the eastern half of the state though? Different world. Very influenced by NY, NJ.
      Edit to add: I haven’t been there (yet) but I think once you get off the panhandle of WV, WV starts to become very different from our area as well. More southern.

    Other notable Ohioans; John Glenn (first man to orbit the earth), Neil Armstrong (first man to step on the moon), John D. Rockefeller (the original oil baron). Pennsylvania is also famous for being the first state where oil was pumped from the ground (Quaker City). Western PA and eastern Ohio are basically the same place. The people are very much alike, the climate is very much alike and we are bitter rivals because of it.

      What 'huge' rivalry? Most Philadelphians rarely go west of Harrisburg, if even there. They're on two opposite ends of the state, and aside from being in the same state, don't really have anything to do with each other. Philadelphia and NY or Philly and Boston have more of a rivalry, as they are much closer, and the people are more connected culturally, and and both being in the I-95 corridor.

    I grew up in Cleveland (1952-84) and lived a year N of Cincinnati. Southern Ohiya is like KY. CLE is more E coast cityish, historically was settled from Connecticut. Also lived a year in Pittsburgh which is more provincial than CLE . We used to call Da Burgh “Cleveland without the glamour.” Hah. Both were industrial centers including steel making, lots of 19th C immigration. CLE doesn’t get tornados. Gets snow, but not as much as Buffalo. Lived 4 years in Lancaster County in the heart of Amish country. I found PA very different from OH. PA is more aware of history, Revolutionary and Civil War. Lancaster first settled 1720s. CLE founded 1793 I think. Also most of OH is flat, except around Cincy. PA is hillier and prettier. Rural OH is largely agricultural, PA has lots of coal mining. You can get great pierogis in CLE and PGH. I loved Da Burgh and Lancaster!

    I live in NE Ohio, just outside of Cleveland, and so I love being in this area! I really like the area I grew up in and still live there. Been to PA (especially Pittsburgh) many times because I have family there. Similarities definitely exist between western PA and eastern Ohio, although PA is more mountainous. But same weather, same history, same culture...but I love how it's basically lethal to be a Steelers fan in this part of Ohio (we're diehard Browns fans even though our team sucks), and vice versa for being a Browns fan in Pittsburgh. One of the new Steelers players, Mitch Trubisky, grew up in the same town as me and graduated from the same high school (and I'm a teacher there now). It truly is a great place to be and downtown Cleveland is a very nice area. It's made quite the comeback since the post-industrial decline. Love being close to Cedar Point, to Cleveland, to the country, to Pittsburgh, and to all the other fun places in border states. People crap on us a lot, but that's because they ain't us. :)

    I was hoping for an Ohio-Michigan comparison, due to their intense rivalry, but this worked just as well.
    As someone who lived in Toledo for many years, the highways in Ohio are very good compared to neighboring states. On I-75, there is a very clear difference in quality between the MI side and the OH side.
    Also, the cost of living there is amazingly low. When I started my PhD program, I was able to buy a two-story, 3 bedroom house on a graduate assistant salary and on my own credit alone.

Another thing often dismissed is that Haitians are also Latin Americans (French language) and their culture has greatly influenced the trendy music that the world often associates with that part of the globe.

      To drive from Pittsburgh to Steubenville, Ohio on Route 22, it's about a 25-mile trip that takes less than an hour.
      However, based on geographical definitions of the states you travel through, you drive from the Northeast, into the South, and then to the Midwest in that very short drive.

    It’s so trendy to knock the electoral college. But the states would become virtually irrelevant if the electoral college was abolished. And the states are a vital check on the centralization of political power. The states and their populations are unique societies among a wider American society. We should not be homogenized into one single political unit, where the largest urban centers dictate policy to the whole nation.

    • @cesars842
      @cesars842 2 года назад

      It’s not as much of a check on the federal government as it is a way for smaller states to check larger states. The senate is the higher and more important chamber and Ohio and Pennsylvania have the same amount of senators as Wyoming and Vermont. While have probably close to 20x the population.

    As an outsider who has been listening to this channel and letting it go on auto play while I’ve been wrapping up at work, I was struck and felt the need to finally reach for my phone and say something when I realized you were beginning to broach on this subject. Ohio is a state too powerful to comprehend. I know it may not seem like much, but that is exactly what they want, and I fear for the repercussions. As a Canadian, I am sat and watching anxiously as the United States of America’s future unfolds in front of me. But I am not anxious over the country, I am anxious over Ohio and the power that it wields. I fear that one day due to our own ignorance and smugness, we will all become some day subjects of THE Ohio Empire. The future is already looking grim for the rest of the US, it would be nothing short of unhealthy for me to continue to sweat over that, but I can only pray to God that the power of Ohio will one day be contained within its own nation. It will not be long before the USA becomes the USO, but there is still a sliver of hope that the rest of us will still be able to stand our ground and resist the unremitting forces of Ohio. We must all join together. And YES, I am aware of what I have just spoken and I know very well of the consequences. So please, as a fellow member of what remains of the free world…REMEMBER MEEE-

    When I was in the 4th grade in California in 82-83, we had California history. Today, I don't think most schools have any state history at all. It's shameful most students don't know a damn thing about their state. Videos Mr. Beat produces such as these, should be a precursor to state history. Teachers need to have some fun with these maybe for 2nd or 3rd grade students to get them interested in their state.

    • @anthonym3021

      I remember in elementary school, our history classes were called "Ohio history," so we learned a lot about our state. This was mid-to-late 2000s. Not sure if it's part of the standards anymore. But then in middle and high school, you take more of the general histories (ancient history, world history, U.S. history, European history, etc). I think it'd be cool to replicate a state-based history course as an elective for high school students. I think it'd be very popular.
