As an adult, I've lived all over the world, but have never been able to shake what I consider my midwestern roots. I will always consider myself a midwesterner (from the Ohio River Valley). I was born in Indiana, but raised in lovely Greenville, Ohio. It's close to the border, a ways north of Cinci, kind of near Dayton. There's a town nearby that is split between Ind and Ohio and half the town is on different time part of the year. I had a parent on either side, so I did a good amount of weekend time in Indiana. My midwestern feelings are probably based more on mind set than location.

However, there are very distinct differences between the different corners of Ohio. Only people from Ohio seem to understand. I'm always meeting people who "have a friend from Cleveland"- they never really get it when I tried to explain how different my part of Ohio is, so I don't even try anymore.

I had no idea there were so many Buckeyes on here!
