LOL! We have the same cloudy, rainy miserable doo-doo here in the land of cheddar. Update: Final interview was excelent, and Hubby really liked the area. Crossing our fingers...

Thanks so much, Columbus girl! Especially for the blessing. A lot of prayer is definitely involved in this decision. It would be so ironic for us to move to Hilliard, and my side of the family would get a great big kick out of it if we did, because Hilliard is my maiden name! I think for that reason alone my husband would refuse to make Hilliard our home. :laugh: We are leaning strongly toward Dublin at this point, but no firm decision has been made. My husband is in town right now and says he really likes the area. This is his first visit. I forgot to send the digital camera along with him though

Works for me! So what are your summers like?

My husband arrives for his final interview next week. He'll have time to look around a bit and get a first impression of the areas some of you mentioned.

You still get snow, don't you? What are the temps like at their worst?

I'm in northeast Wisconsin. not too far from Lambeau field. :lol:

Thanks for the tips, seanguy I'll check those out as well.. I can't wait to become an oheesion. (sounds kind of bloody!)

We should know by next week if we will become Ohioans. My mother is from Dayton (Miamisburg, actually) and said that it is more proper to say Buckeyes. I say only if you are a Buckey fan. I don't go around calling her a Badger after our Wisconsin mascot after all! :)

How come? What are the cool things Westerville has over the other two? I'm asking because a word-of-mouth opinion is of great value when I move to a new area.

I will definitely check out Hocking Hills and Westerville too. I guess in terms of priorities, schools should be more important to us than the boat! (right???) ;)

I see that! Your humor alone makes me feel that becoming an Ohioan may be fun.

Just checking in again, as Ohio is becoming more of a possibility than ever. Question: What do you Columbus-area folks have for boatable lakes/rivers? I love being around water and don't like the idea of having to sell our boat to move to Ohio. We're camping people too!

Thanks for the responses everyone. Yes, I'd like to be about 20 minutes or less to Marysville where the job is.

Hmmmmmm.... I didn't origianlly post about Columbia, did I? :oops:(blush!)

Northern Wisconsin. Brrrr. I'm hoping Ohio is just a bit warmer.

Not sure what in my original title was funny, but I'm glad I made you smile! :-D I'm looking around the Maryville or Dublin area, but am willing to expand my horizons. I'm hearing that Dublin has great schools, which is a high priority for our family. Housing looks a little pricey though. But the whole recreational parks/trails amenities appeal to us as well. This is a nice forum for information. I'll be hanging out here quite a bit, I'm sure! Are there other discussion boards I should check out as well?

Hi! I may soon be a first-time Ohio resident, possibly relocating to the northern Columbus area. Any advice on which communities are the best would be much appreciated. Thanks!
