July 28, 20186 yr ^HAHA! Seriously, those greedy conniving amish! Although...maybe the amish stuff can be tousist traps. Hmmm?? If that's the worst Ohio has, that's not so bad.
July 28, 20186 yr ^Yeah, at least Ohio doesn’t have a tacky Pigeon Forge or Wisconsin Dells. I’ve always thought it was weird that Sandusky never went full tourist-trap but it’s probably for the best. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”

First, their weighting is coming from a small survey of people from 22 states. That's not very scientific. Second, the sub-categories are weighted evenly, but the sub-sub-categories aren't shown how they're weighted; but it's obviously not evenly or Ohio would be 34 in higher education not 38. Plus, Texas has the 13th best business climate? That must be why they blow everyone's doors off in regards to job creation

January 14, 20205 yr I feel like the collective knowledge for how to deal with bedbugs is a lot better than 10 years or so ago when they were essentially reintroduced as a threat ex nihilo. Unfortunately, Ohio and especially Cincinnati had a rough go of things in those early years. Bedbugs should have been something that was mentioned in all those 2010s decade-in-review retrospectives, but I don't recall seeing them in any of those. They were a mythical thing to westerners ("sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite") until right around 2010.
