By the way john, Gallipolis does not mean city of the french, it means city of the gauls. I live in Gallipolis and am not originally from here, and I take some offense in the comment about thanking God your dad got you the hell out of here. I've been coming to Gallipolis since I was a very young child, I have several relatives who've lived, worked and even served this community. There are wonderful things about Gallipolis and Gallia County, like any other small rural area, you just might have to look for them, but once found they are a wonderful experience. This area is a wonderful place to raise children away from the hard core problems of the bigger city. Although we have a share of it, it is nothing in comparison to even Huntington (where I grew up) and Charleston WV which are only an hour away or Columbus OH (about 2 hours away). If you want to see the best of Gallia County and it's people, come to the Gallia County Jr Fair the week that August 1st falls in (same week every year). We have the largest junior fair in the state of Ohio and our youth work extremely hard at raising and presenting their projects
