      The good news is if we keep sending all our boomers to Florida eventually Ohio might be a place younger people can have a say in and want to live in.

      E:spelling

        eventually Ohio might be a place younger people … want to live in.

        I’ve never read something so awful /s

        Congrats on your wins tonight from your enemy rival friend to the north.

          As a Toledo resident, the best part of tonight is that i no longer have to feel dirty crossing the border OR support your state’s economy to buy good edibles! /s

          In all serious though, my mom’s side of the family is from Ann Arbor, and there are many beautiful parts of your state that i have been lucky to go see. Old Town Lansing is such an underrated place IMO.

            I mostly do the “eww ohio” bit as a joke. I honestly have no real strong opinions about your state other than it’s gerrymandered to hell.

            Though I will admit that Ohio gaining legal weed is going to be a slight inconvence for us since a lot of you do come over for weed. Plus now we’re at 24 states where its legal. Come on feds just make it legal already

              I’m a long time Columbus resident, but I’ve never had much of a stake in the rivalry, people take that shit too seriously. Gonna agree with the other guy that Michigan has some real beauty to it. I drive through it every summer on my way to northern Wisconsin and that’s an enjoyable 11 -12 hours.

              Beats the Chicago route any day!

          I dunno. The crazy shit in Florida is that it’s a clearly purple state with solid “liberal industry” (disney world, major colleges, etc) that finds itself SOMEHOW passing laws like it’s Kentucky and being a bastion of Republican Criminal Bullshit.

          Indiana isn’t purple (pretty Red). It doesn’t have as solid a “liberal industry”. Sure, it wants to be Kentucky. One outta 3 :)
