Ohio is such a weird state. It is notorious for being an unpleasant place to live and I have met dozens of Ohioans who are very pleased to live anywhere else. That being said I disproportionatly have enjoyed the company of the Ohio refugees I've met. It has a way of exporting some cool people

Wouldn't that be the case with most people who've moved to a new area? Like, presumably unless they're there for work, school, or family or a spouse they moved because they wanted to get out of wherever they were. I'd imagine that if you go to Ohio and ask people how they like it, you'd probably find more people who are happy living there.

For some reason most of my partners have ended up being Cincinnati refugees. So I think I can second this. "it's a good place to be from" is a common refrain.

as a Colorado native I've disliked most every other person I've met from the state elsewhere, no particular reason outside luck of the draw I think
