Rudest people in the country, except Pittsburgh

by denver1982

I personally think that people in Ohio (despite the fact its like its like 49th in people who go to post-secoundary education) have a major superiority complex thats profilerates more than a stinky Cleveland animal slaughterhouse. The arrogant and condescending nature of the people effects everything, for example, you go to resturant and complain about the service and they will get mad in a snobbish arrogant kind of wayAll and all, Ohio should only be passed by plane because the state is basically nothing but a haven for close-minded conservative snobsO

Visit Holmes County, Ohio, Amish Country

by deecat

Holmes County Ohio is the center of the world's largest Amish population! The rural past is quite evident here, and the hospitality of the people is genuine.My advice is to visit the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau on 35 N. Monroe St. in Millersburg, OH (330)674-3975) to gather detailed information about the area.A real "must" is to see the Mennonite Information Center at 5798 County Rd. 77, Berlin, Ohio (330/893-3192) and see the "Behalt", a 265-foot cyclorama illustrating the history of the Amish and Mennonites.You can visit the Berlin Antique Mall & Berlin Craft Mall, the Guggisberg Cheese Factory Store to get wonderful Baby Swiss; shop at the numerous Quilt Shops; check out an Amish Furniture Store; experience a real Amish house and farm at Yoder's.By all means, you need to go into the famous Lehman's Hardware and Appliances, Inc. in Kidron, Ohio...what a treat....

People can get annoying

by denver1982

Compared to Colorado, people in Ohio are like a bunch of annoying, rude people who just love to stereotype every thing.I mean the people are so rude and arrogant.Chicago greyhound people in my experiences are much nicer than people in OhioHere are some things about Ohio that would annoy any tourist, let alone somebody whos trapped on a 6 month lease:-People are slow and unproductive in resturants: be prepared to wait 20 minutes for a big mac or whopper-Prices are very high: The arrogant attitude transfers onto the dinner tap in Ohio-The cities in this state feel rural, except Cleveland which is a filthy slum-Drivers are the slowest in the country, I mean literally half the speed of the rest of the country

butterflies every year

by BabciaMaine

The Butterfly show at the Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park In Cincinnati was really fascinating although crowded. It is an annual event with butterflies flying freein the conservatory where you may walk about with a bit of nectar on your hand to coax a landing. The butterflies are from China, Philopines and central and North America . Fee is 5 dollars for adults 3 for children. May 10 to June 22 2003

by Thalor

Women in northern Ohio will actually hold the door open for men! Very nice treat from a city boy from Washington, DC area like myself. The people of northern Ohio seem very approachable and easy to talk to so maybe if you want someone to converse with you while vising here should go ahead and do it!The high school graduation rate in Cleveland, Ohio area is catastrophically low. You may not run into many scholars in some towns, although I know they have some very bright people going to their universities.The music scene and bar scene in the greater Cleveland vicinity is great. I remember the high point of my stay there was when Mary Prankster came to town and played in The Grog Shop. She rocked the place! Whoohoo!Not all places stock it but some bars and restuarants actually do serve Dos Equis, my favorite beer. The Grog Shop and Fox & Hound come to mind. Not bad to find a Mexican beer...

Cincinnati has 4 seasons... and often they come within the same week. Pack for a little of everything! Snow starts falling near Christmas and only briefly appears until February. Can be rainy in the Spring. July and August are scorchers! 90+ degrees plus awful humidity! Fall is the best time of year.

Amish people speak english--Don't stare or gossip!

by rkyle2

Amish people often do NOT like to have their pictures taken. Please be respectful. If you visit flea markets, or horse auctions and you see Amish people, try not to stare or talk about them as though they cannot hear you. (Yes, they do speak English!)

by Ky_Happy_Dad

Amish people do not want their photographs taken. They believe photographs are graven images and thus forbidden by their interpretation of the bible. Out of respect for their privacy and beliefs, I do not have any pictures of Amish on this page or my traveloge photos.
