I moved here from the Southern Plains, so that's saying something.
It's beautiful, peaceful (I live in a mid-19th century farmhouse on a ton of land), and I love my job.
But there's no culture around here. Central Ohio can't seem to decide if it's the Bible Belt or the Northeast (though Cleveland is totally rad, but that's kind of far away). And I hate the Buckeyes. And the fact that I'm in a swing state means that I get bombarded with Romney's face. Yick.
Fortunately I like my job and my friends. And my house. Oh, and the deer that chill out in my yard.

I'm impressed at the number of Midwesterners. And how few responses there are.
