Thank Chryssie Hynde for that one. O. H. I. O....Ohio... From Seneca to Cuyhoga Falls. Ah, O, I, Ohio.... You guys are about as far "south" as Rochester or Erie Pa. Might as well be back pocket Canucks. Except for the War Aggression. Serious Northern Yankee Territory.
GHOSTS of the Great War. For Gods sake what Canadian made that mistake?. Point the OP out. Happy ro teach History & Geography. Never heard tell of the the
Cannon,
I'd rather not thank Chryssie Hynde for anything, thank you.
Besides, we're our own entity entirely, particularly Columbus. Literally every other part of the United States and Canada has some type of regional accent, but not central Ohio. The unaccented area extends all the way up to the real Golden Horseshoe (Akron/Canton/Massillon); once you get further north, that bizarre accented "a" becomes prominent. That's the one where "cash" sounds like "cyash", or, if the speaker is real bad about it, "kee-ash".
Actually, I will thank Chryssie for something. She stuck her pompous vegetarian restaurant in Akron a stone's throw from Luigi's, so if anyone from out of town has heard of her place but not Luigi's, it's a good orientation point to then go a little south and find real good food.
Columbus is south of Cleveland and 2hrs from Pittsburgh.
Southwest, and anything less than 3 hours from Pittsburgh is nearly impossible. The shortest route (US 22 from Pittsburgh through Cadiz) is either a colossal bore or white-knuckle driving (at night, when the deer are plentiful). I-71 to 76 is longer, but has the added advantage of going past Barberton, which is the home of the best fried chicken in the world.
Maybe
that's what it is. Columbus is southwest of the best fried chicken, and since fried chicken is normally associated with the south...
