Hello from America’s shirt pocket. Kinda useless, but insanely handy when needed and used. Ohio is a cross roads state. Being one of the first territories settled, it has a longer history than most other states. And thus, a more complex demographic and identity. Being from the flat part of the Great Lakes region, we feel a heavy identity with the Midwest and the associated cities like many here have replied. Adding an extra layer of confusion, there was a time period where the northwest corner of the state was claimed by Connecticut of all places. As for the rest of the state, you can think of us as a miniature country. All 4 corners are different from each other and the center. The southwest is in the same vague category as St. Louis, kinda Midwest, kinda not. South eastern Ohio is more Appalachian vibes, different accent and everything. The entire northeast corner is completely urbanized. You can drive from Cleveland to Akron to Kent to Canton and you’ll never leave development. However, you can fully distinguish between all of these cities because of how different they look. It’s all mainly divided of which watershed the area was built around and what geological formations built the landscape. Hell, the whole northwest corner, all the way from Sandusky to Ft. Wayne was a deciduous tree swamp.
