What people are saying about Columbus.

Ohio is the Heart of it All"  or at least it used to be.   Happy Valentines Day Columbus  I understand what I consider to be the BEST seafood restaurant in Columbus is all booked up for Valentines Day.  According to my "Sweetheart" by the time he called we could get reservations at 4:30 or 9:30.  All the BEST Columbus Restaurants were similarly booked. We are cooking fish at home tonight!

.

Have a Happy Valentines Day and remember "Ohio is the heart of it  all" or it used to be when Ohio was in the midwest... And Columbus is the "heart of Ohio."  There was a real estate company named "Heart of Ohio"  but I don't remember hearing of it recently. 

I love SIX THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT: OHIO by Frank Smith"  on Black Table.  "If Ohio is the heart of it all where is the brain?" 

 "-- state that boasts itself as the Heart of It All. And this is a reasonable claim because, well, geographically, Ohio is positioned around about where America would have a heart, if landmasses had bodily organs. But then using that logic, America might not have much of a brain. Where would it be? New York? No, that's more like shoulder area. .........No, if the North American continent had a brain, it might be somewhere in Canada. Possibly Alaska. But Ohio, o-hi-o, is truly the heart of it all."

Frank Smith's "SIX THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT: OHIO  sounds more "Cleveland" than "Columbus" to me but we're all in this together... Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinatti... even those smaller Ohio cities that did not realize they needed to name their city Csomething to grow .. Toledo, Dayton, Akron,  Youngstown... We have to stick together especially if Ohio is no longer in the midwest (an evil rumor in the real estate industry... see the last entry)   

#3 The shoe thing?  I remember that from the 80's in Cleveland but I don't thnk I have seen it since or elsewhere in Ohio. 

#2. Ohio is the Birthplace of Aviation, Got it?

Does this explain's North Carolinian Terry Crook's attempt to say Ohio is not in the midwest and no longer the heart of it all? (Oh OK Terry my favorite Contrarian just said Columbus is not in the midwest geographically.) 

#6 is not for the faint hearted or Michiganders.  

Happy Valentines Day
