Ohio is freaky

[billy logan]

Say you were in Lima, Ohio. You want to leave. You set out to walk to North Lima, Ohio. You might start walking north. If you thought Ohio was normal. If. If only.

Hiker beware! North Lima, Ohio is pretty much east of Lima, Ohio. 181 straight line miles east of Lima, Ohio. 208 miles by car. Fyi.

335 km by car
291 km as the loon flies

It's north of Lima, Peru.

Like Upper Sandusky is nowhere around Sandusky.

There are a lot of places where the planners were clearly lazy. I bet they didn't even use Google let alone arrange a video call with other parts in the same regions to make sure they were not creating these issues.

Correct. It is directly above it.

Yea, you're rolling the dice (navigationally) if your more than 45 minutes away from one of the 3 larger cities that start with "C".....

Ohio makes Ohio kayakers put registration numbers on play kayaks, as though they were bass boats or something. This means, when an Ohio boater shows up at Gauley Week during drawdown of the reservoir at Summersville, all the other kayakers turn away in embarrassment. It is IMO the equivalent of wearing a pink tutu.

But, my Mom's family tree goes back to Waverly and surrounds, all the way back to 1804. I sure hope they fix the place eventually.

55 miles give or take. About an hour after driving through other cities imho

As a kid, it was always weird to me that East Palo Alto is due north of Palo Alto.

Gotta wonder how these things happened.

 

[SRBMusic]

Defective compasses?

 

[uriah1]

I think the Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky.

Richmond, Indiana is 140 miles from New Richmond, Indiana.

There are 4 (FOUR!) unincorporated towns in Indiana called Mechanicsburg.

 

[ghostwolf]

It's Ohio; who cares what they do?

 

[unixfish]

OK. I am in Akron. I'm lost. I know I need to turn on Sand Run...

I went to Ohio once. I got physically threatened at a gas station after politely declining an offer to purchase some stereo equipment from the young men at the car across the pump from me.

When you find an empty Kayak on the river you need to be able to identify the owner...especially one that a child might be using

D'Oh!

Northeast.

Damn. I patted Alex Chilton on the back and marveled at the softness of his shirt. You just never know what Ohio will bring.

Eh. It's pretty much on the border. It's called the Cincinnati/North Kentucky International Airport. I think that covers it enough.

OTOH, Athens, OH is a college town.
