Re: I think I'm moving to Ohio, so many hotties!
The Cuyahoga isn't catching fire these days, but it's not nearly what it was years ago in terms of boaters on weekends. I lived on the West Bank until just recently and didn't even keep the boat in Cleveland - headed west so we could be closer to the islands.
As far as the women go - you honestly can't go wrong so many places in America. The warmth and hospitality you see in the South; the laid back demeanor you get out West; and Texas pretty much speaks for itself.
Having been in Ohio most of my life, and having traveled around the country I can say that Ohio is nice, so is Michigan, Texas, and the 47 other states. It really comes down to what you're looking for. Strictly looks, Ohio is nice, you can do better probably, but that's always true. Settling down is another matter entirely and seldom has as much to do with looks as we might want.
As far as the economy in Ohio - it really depends on what you want to end up doing. A lot of stuff we probably should be getting into, we aren't; and a lot of the up-and-coming has been up-and-coming for the past 10 or more years. What ends up happening is a lot of people who would be helpful to retain end up leaving for greener pastures in terms of employment. There are a lot of big name employers here, but also a lot of very qualified people looking for relatively few positions. One big law firm basically runs Cleveland with a generally conservative business sense (not in terms of politics, but risk taking), and what often happens is good ideas get killed before they get off the ground because some lawyer said so (this is why Progressive Insurance is headquartered in a suburb instead of downtown Cleveland). Makes it somewhat hard to get things moving forward again.
A big thing that keeps me here , though, is the fishing. Honestly. It's that good.
