Here's an "I love Ohio" shirt

 

 

and an "I love Columbus" one too.

 

aaah yous guys are peaches -- thanks guys -- i want those! got links?

 

what i reallyreally want is one of those old 70's "cleveland's a plum" tee shirts. i wish they would remake those.

I remember back in the early ninities seeing "Toledo is for Lovers" shirts.

 

that's virginia's tourism slogan. Detroit has had them for a while too (mocking VA)

Actually, I kind of like the I Hate OH shirt...like a gay friend of mine who has a t-shirt that says, "I HATE MY GIRLFRIEND."  It's just funny on so many levels...

I love that "Cleveland Junky" t-shirt.

 

Im sure there could be a lot of fun with the "Queen City" moniker for Cincinnati.

 

Dayton, The Gem City?  what, a diamond zircon?

 

(there was that Dayton as Hollywood gag postcard from the late 80s....someone did a good photomontage of a beach and ocean, downtown Dayton, and in the Hollywood hills, they put in a big "D A Y T O N" sign instead of the familiar Hollywood one.  It was a real hoot!)

 

And, there was that bumper sticker/promo from the late 70s/early 80s in Louisville..."I Luv Loahvuhl"....a pun on the local's 'difficult' prononciation of Louisville.

My personal favorite is the Ghost town t-shirt

 

 

Save Rolling Acres?

Horse Farm along US 42 between Delaware and Ashley.

I didn't realize there was a chance of it going away.

That shirt seems to be a reference to the 2004 presidential election (given the fact that the state is colored red). A lot of people blamed us for putting Bush into office. Why they don't also blame the other 30-odd states that voted for him -- and by not nearly so narrow a margin -- I don't know.

If it's Akron-based, I presume it deals with the Rolling Acres Mall, which has been declining for a while.

What's with Akron-Canton and Delaware Co. sharing names (Rolling Acres, BV)?

Save Rolling Acres?

 

Rolling Acres is the largest mall in Akron, built in 1976 by Forest City.  It is now a really rundown area with vacant stores all around.  I believe the mall itself is pretty abandoned as well.  The t-shirt is a joke by the makers because I don't think anyone really cares about the place.
