Wow Ohio, that's a surprisingly not insane move! Soon you won't be the Florida of the north if you keep this up.

The good news is if we keep sending all our boomers to Florida eventually Ohio might be a place younger people can have a say in and want to live in.

E:spelling

eventually Ohio might be a place younger people ... want to live in.

I've never read something so awful /s

Congrats on your wins tonight from your enemy rival friend to the north.

As a Toledo resident, the best part of tonight is that i no longer have to feel dirty crossing the border OR support your state’s economy to buy good edibles! /s

In all serious though, my mom’s side of the family is from Ann Arbor, and there are many beautiful parts of your state that i have been lucky to go see. Old Town Lansing is such an underrated place IMO.

I mostly do the "eww ohio" bit as a joke. I honestly have no real strong opinions about your state other than it's gerrymandered to hell.

Though I will admit that Ohio gaining legal weed is going to be a slight inconvence for us since a lot of you do come over for weed. Plus now we're at 24 states where its legal. Come on feds just make it legal already

I'm a long time Columbus resident, but I've never had much of a stake in the rivalry, people take that shit too seriously. Gonna agree with the other guy that Michigan has some real beauty to it. I drive through it every summer on my way to northern Wisconsin and that's an enjoyable 11 -12 hours.

Beats the Chicago route any day!

This whole Florida of the north thing is really overblown.

Especially when that's actually Indiana.

I dunno. The crazy shit in Florida is that it's a clearly purple state with solid "liberal industry" (disney world, major colleges, etc) that finds itself SOMEHOW passing laws like it's Kentucky and being a bastion of Republican Criminal Bullshit.

Indiana isn't purple (pretty Red). It doesn't have as solid a "liberal industry". Sure, it wants to be Kentucky. One outta 3 :)
