How is Southern Ohio different from Northern Ohio?|176361

I am curious about the intra-state stratification in Ohio. I have been all over Northern Ohio, but not below Columbus. In what way is it different from Northern Ohio? I_m curious more about cultural differences. I can pretty much predict the weather differences and the physiographic differences.

I have heard similar things (that the northern part is very different from the southern part) about Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

How are they different?

  • On the back of most seed packets, there is a map of the USA. When we moved from Kent, Ohio, we moved from the light blue area into the light green area.

    Cincinnati is far more cosmopolitan than anything I experienced in the Akron-Kent-Cleveland area.

    Physio-graphically, Cincinnati is on top of and in the valleys between an alluvial plain. This is where the glaciers ended. It was also a bed for the inland sea, so you have a lot of marine fossils embedded in the limestone.

  • well i can not find much of a cultural difference because well

    1. Cincinnati has the Bengals Cleveland has the browns
    Bengals are good browns are awful

    2. Cincinnati has the reds Cleveland has the Indians .....
    Indians are good reds suck.

    both citys love sports and music and entertainment

    there really is not much of a difference at all ... were both next to water and stuff also ... soo yea


    oo yea Cincinnati is south and Cleveland is north BTW

  • Northern is flat, southern is hilly
    northern is liberal, southern is more conservative - except for the big cities, they are all liberal across the state. The democrat strong holds infrastructure is degraded, crumbling.
  • Anyone know what towns are the best in Colorado?|187083

    My husband and I love Colorado and are planning on moving there in the near future. We have been researching towns online, but I haven_t been able to figure out what town would be best for us. We are very outdoorsy. We love to camp, hike, bike ride, all that good stuff. We are also looking for a town that has good home prices and good schools, because I am an elementary school teacher. I would really appreciate any insight anyone has on different towns in Colorado. Oh we are not city people so we would prefer a medium to small sized town over a large city.

  • Personally, I love Estes Park, Colorado.

    Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest surround the village of Estes Park, Colorado with spectacular mountain scenery, abundant wildlife habitat, miles of hiking trails and scenic drives including Trail Ridge Road over the Continental Divide and the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway.

  • Deffiantely Colorado Springs! We lived there for a couple years, and loved it! It_s perfect for outdoor adventure! You_ve got Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Some waterfalls, Palmer Park, and even a castle and Pikes Peak is very close! I would say Colorado Springs is the best place to live in Colorado if you like outdoor stuff! But you can always go to Rocky Mountain National Park for the weekend! Is not that far! But for adventure some places I would recomend are Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon Of Gunnison, Royal Gorge, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa, Hovenweep, Dinosaur National Monuent! Those are some of the few you must see in Colorado, but all the nice stuff is west of the Rockies! Eastern Colorado is flat prarie! Move to Colorado Springs! You will like! Is very nice!

  • Vail, Boulder and Colorado Springs are great place to settle down. Denver is also great, with good schools, but it_s a fairly large city. Boulder and Colorado Springs are smaller college towns and are somewhat affordable. The views are fantastic. Vail may be a little pricey, but the skiing there is great.

    How can I go about moving to New York City?|188288

    I_ve spent a little over two weeks in New York City and it was the best two weeks of my life. It_s all I think about and it_s the one thing I look forward to. My personal definition of _success_ means living in New York. The energy of the city is mind-blowing. The people aren_t afraid to be BOLD. Everybody has their own story to tell. I wouldn_t want to be anywhere else in the world.

    (My dream is to write for the New York Times.)

    Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody could give me some tips!

  • I moved to NYC from Minneapolis last summer. Here is what I did:

    I sold about 90% of my stuff in garage sales and ebay before I moved here. I knew the apartments would be much smaller than what I was used to, and it was a great way to save more money.

    I got a large suitcase and packed about a week_s worth of clothes, a suit for job interviews and a few things that reminded me of home. I flew out here and stayed in youth hostel (I was 23) in Chelsea.

    I basically surfed Craiglist like it was my bible for about two weeks. Occasionally going to look at apartments until I found one that I liked. It_s much, much too expensive to live on your own or in Manhattan when you first got here. So I would recommend looking at apartment shares in Brooklyn or Queens. Craigslist has a seperate area on their site for people looking for shares (basically an apartment with an open room).

    Once I got my housing set up, I immediately started looking for jobs. I had already put my resume together before I arrived in New York, so I started searching the internet (Craigslist again!)_for jobs. I got a part time job within about a week and worked there for about a month or two until I lined up full time employment.

    New York is tough. Very tough. But it can also be very rewarding. If you_re planning to move here, make sure you_re doing it for the right reasons. Nothing will come easy for you at first, but if you really want to live here, you_ll make it.

    This is just my story. I found that most jobs/potential roomates won_t even give you the time of day if you don_t live in the city. I had sent out some resumes before I arrived and never heard from them again because I did not have a New York address. Millions of people say they_re going to move here all the time. Us New Yorkers know better. Unless you_re already in the city, they won_t waste their time waiting to get you in for an interview.

    This is just my experience. Everyone else_s in this city probably differs... but that_s what makes NYC so great!


    I hope this helps!

  • get a job before moving her or have some interviews lined up. living in manhattan is extremely expensive apartments range starting at 2000-3500 for a 1 bedroom. anything less isnt in manhattan its prolly in harlem or the bronx. so yeah def have a job and money stashed away bc to even qualify for a place u have to meet a lot of requirements, i suggest going to nyu, earn ur degree, live on campus, get into an internship and transition from there! good luck!

  • I would definetly want to know too...keep me posted!

  • Find a job if you don_t have one
    If not hope you have lots of money stashed away
    If you want to stay in the heart Manhattan is it, but it will cost you plenty. A one bedroom can go for well over a grand and don_t expect much on size. If you are rather young or don_t mind sharing space check around colleges for postings for roomies, maybe roommates.com/.net and craigslist, etc.
    Good Luck and enjoy
    NY is great for anyone that likes to be in the mix!!

  • Get a job here BEFORE moving here, then look for a space with someone looking for a room mate (use craigs list for room mate hunt) good luck

  • The best thing to do is to find a job before you get there. That might not be easy depending on where you live now.

    It can be expensive to get started here, and if you aren_t working right away, you will amazed at how fast you go through your savings.

    You might also look into working for a company that has locations where you are now, and in NYC so that you can make a transfer.

    Check out monster.com, hotjobs.com and even the NY Times websites for jobs that look like something you might want to do. It will be helpful to figure out how much you can get paid, which influences everything else you do here!
  • What kind of adult things are there to do in Vegas?|174270

    I_m planning a trip with my boyfriend and we aren_t big gamblers. We_d like to see risque shows, venues, and anything else that gets the blood boiling. We know all about the free things to do and plan to visit all of those but like I mentioned above, would love some _alternative_ things to do as well. Thanks!

  • Plenty of adult and gentlemens clubs. even a couple for ladies with male strippers. You have the green door and the red rooster for swinging and voyuers. you have a coupl eo fdungeon/social clubs. Whats your poison??

  • Crazy Horse Too

    Palomino Club

  • you have got to see the blue man group. they are brilliant and funny. the Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint and wear latex bald caps and black clothing. Blue Man Group_s theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a _poncho section_ of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which are thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall, for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.

  • Here are a few adult shows you should consider seeing.

    X Burlesque @ the Flamingo
    Fantasy @ Luxor
    Zumanity by Cirque Du Soleil @ New York New York
    Crazy Horse Paris @ MGM Grand

    What to do with 3 weeks on the west coast USA?|163166

    We are heading to the USA for 3 weeks. We plan to spend 1 at Disneyland and would like suggestions as to what to do for the other 2. We have been to Las Vegas and Santa Monica (neither of which we wish to see again) and to the Grand Canyon which we loved.

  • Do what we are going to do- take a cruise from los angeles to mexico and visit cabo, mazatlan and I forget the other city- it_s 7 days and not that expensive-- you get the best of both worlds- you see and play on the islands for a day each and get to go back to your boat to eat _regular food_. just a thought...I went through the same thing, I didn_t want to do the hollywood house and star chasing scene and couldn_t think of much more unless you have kids and want to see the San Diego Zoo....that_s to die for

  • Here are my favorite places in California:

    1. Yosemite National Park in Northern California. This is the most beautiful place. It_s huge granite mountains, forests, and large waterfalls are awesome.
    http://www.nps.gov/yose/


    2. San Diego is just 90-120 minutes south of Disneyland. This is a beautiful city with lots of things to do. They have Sea World, a great zoo, the Wild Animal Park, beautiful beaches. You can enjoy kayaking through the La Jolla caves, hiking, biking, wine tasting, and more.
    http://www.sandiego-romantics.com


    3. California is known for its wines and there are wine regions throughout California. Napa is the most famous area, but there are great wineries along the Central Coast of California (a beautiful uncrowded area), in the Sierra Foothills, and in the Central Valley as well.

  • 3 weeks? You_ll never find anything to do to fill 3 weeks.
    May I suggest you get away from the tourist traps and see the countryside.
    If you are going to be here around the end of March, go to the desert and see the wildflowers in bloom.

  • You might want to rethink a full week at Disneyland. Our Disney parks are much smaller than Disneyworld. Two days and you_ll have seen everything in both parks. Here are some quick ideas for the rest of your trip, assuming you want to stick to driving and not flying from one state to the next:

    1. Palm Springs
    2. San Diego
    3. Orange County coastline (Laguna Beach, Balboa Park)
    4. San Francisco

  • How about driving up the coast and back? Hit San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.

  • your wishes

  • Depends what time of year you are going to be visiting and what you like to do. Breckenridge, Colorado has some great skiing and anywhere in Colorado has great hiking. Sea World in San Diego, California. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Lake Havasu in either California or Arizona is a lot of fun... but really hot in the summer time.
    Let me know what you like to do and what time of year you will be around and I can give you some more suggestions.

  • I think that you can do Disney in about 3 days, and use the other 3 days for things in LA (see my guide below).

    I think a few days in San Diego would be good, too. For the ultimate San Diego guide, check out Local Wally, the master of San Diego Travel: www.localwally.com.

    Yosemite National Park is NOT to be missed. How did you miss it last time? No worries, you can correct a great injustice by visiting this time.

    San Francisco and the wine country is a great place to spwnd a week. Napa Valley, just north of SF is a great area just about any time of year.

    Here_s my LA guide:

    There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my top ten list:

    Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can��t be wrong. (Sometimes it seems all at once)

    Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. And Universal City Walk is a fun place to hang out in the evening after your day inside the park.

    Hollywood: Hollywood Boulevard is ready for its close-up, thanks to years of urban renewal and renovation. Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Mann_s Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. I have also added the Hollywood _ Highland complex to my top ten list�� it has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards). I like the El Capitan theater, because it has been restored to its former glory, unlike the Chinese, which was essentially gutted and turned into a multiplex.

    Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.

    Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you_ll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. And it_s a short bike ride from:

    Santa Monica Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. (The Sting and _Three_s Company_ come immediately to mind). After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach.

    (Since you already did Santa Monica Beach, check out Huntington Beach, which is quite a bit nicer and less _gritty_. SM is more _LA_, and HB is more _OC_.

    Santa Monica Third Street Promenade - Downtown Santa Monica_s shopping promenade is often the scene of movie star-sightings. Just a short walk from the Santa Monica Pier.

    Sunset Boulevard: Perhaps one of the world_s most famous streets, it began as a route between the stars_ posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the _Sunset Strip_ on its way. It makes for a fun drive. Along the way, you see a lot of different neighborhoods. Hollywood, West Hollywood, Bel Air, and Pacific Palisades. When you get to the ocean, stop at Gladstone_s for Fish.

    Queen Mary: Once the largest ship afloat, she_s been docked in Long Beach for longer than she sailed, and her elegance never fails to impress. Free to visit. You can actually stay on board, for a price.

    Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, The Grove and Farmers Market coexist. Enjoy a movie or shopping, and then take the trolley to the Farmers Market for lunch or dinner. It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping _The Price is Right_. You might even get in.

    Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.

    Getty Museum - The Getty_s architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art or architecture better (or maybe you_ll just enjoy the view), the Getty is sure to please. Free.

    Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It_s very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the tonight show. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.

    Places to eat:
    In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.
    Pink��s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. Might see a celebrity.
    Tommy��s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. Original location at Beverly _ Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.
    Canter��s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly _ Melrose. Near CBS, might spot a celebrity.
    Phillippe��s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station, Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it��s hot.
    The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, (I NEVER eat there after dark), GREAT steak and eggs.

    Places to Stay:
    In Hollywood, I recommend the Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland, the Best Western Sunset Plaza, or the Hollywood Roosevelt.
    In Anaheim, I recommend the HoJo Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. If you want to splurge and make this a most memorable trip, stay at Disney��s Grand Californian. You get the full Disney experience. If you don_t need to stay by the park, then stay at the Doubletree on Harbor, or even the one in Orange on Chapman.
    In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced.

    Places to Shop:
    South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa
    Fashion Island, Newport Beach
    Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica
    Brea Mall, Brea
    Citadel Outlets, Commerce
    Beverly Center, Los Angeles
    The Block at Orange, Orange
    Ontario Mills, Ontario

  • there is universal studios, magic mountain, sea world, you can see tv shows taped live if you are into that sort of thing. www.tvtickets.com. Stop by Venice beach. Head down to Palm Springs, they have plenty of plays in Los Angeles. There is Lake Havasu, AZ it always nice. Camping in Big Bear, the list can go on and on....

  • definitely drive to San Diego, stopping at Balboa on the way (maybe staying overnight in Newport Beach). There_s alot of stuff to do in San Diego (zoo, Sea World, etc), but make sure you have at least a meal at the Del Coronado Hotel, and maybe visit Old Town. ... If you_re able to fly to San Francisco for a weekend, that_d be great too! And then, you should rent a car there, visit Sausalito, and drive through the Napa/Sonoma Valley for wine tasting... San Diego _ San Francisco are much nicer places to visit than LA
