Any Ohioans in the House?

Tell me about your great state. I'll be moving there in August from California for school (to Columbus, specifically).

How's that?   ;D   Even lists the phone numbers for the US House.


You weren't specific about whether you mention the US House or Ohio House.  ::)

I'm seventy miles over the line from Cincinnati.  I have been there several times to buy used organs, and the selection of used pianos is good, too. 
There are good train museums in Cincinnati and a nice zoo.  In Dayton there is a world class aircraft museum run by the Air Force. 
In Colombus there is a nice sausage restaurant in the south end, Schmitts? buy the sampler, it is worth the premium if you are hungry.  On Thanksgiving weekend, there is a great ballroom dance competition in Colombus. At least it looks great on PBS television, the one hour version.  Lots of healthy people doing rhythmic movements. 
Ohio has great non-interstate highways, with synchronized traffic lights.  Indiana by contrast, tunes the lights to stop you at every one, for a better shopping experience.  Not shopping?- you should be, how will the state make any money if you don't?  One more reason I go to Colombus or Dayton, and not Indi, for pleasure.  Watch the Ohio red lights, violators are photographed in some areas. 
In Norwalk OH they have a great dragstrip, with special weekends devoted to various brands.  I go sometimes on Ford weekend.  Usually no turbo vacuum cleaners run, unlike Indianapolis again which is all turbo vacuum cleaner cars.    The Indi 500 would be ear-splitting, if I acually went.
Ohio has good train service.  Ride the Cardinal over into New River gorge WV, it is worth the trip to see the view. 
Cleveland used to have a great orchestra, but George Szell is dead.  I haven't heard any great recordings from  them since. Cincinnati Pops orchestra used to be famous, I hope somebody as enthusiastic replaced Eric Kunzel they lost a coupleof years ago.

I've been to Cinci a few times.  The view from the top of Mount Echo Park at night is wonderful.  It is a very appealing city.


Mvh,
