Ohio is a great place but you have to have a certain willingness to stick out tough winters and hot sticky summers. Many summer nights are quite nice, the fall is great if you have trees though it’s a lot of work. I would personally pick somewhere where you can be close to either Cleveland/Columbus/Cinci or within an hour and a half. Land is still cheap but you have access to some of the bigger city comforts.

My wife has informed me if we win the lotto 3 of the 4 of us are moving back to Ohio, and it’s up to me if I’d like to be the 4th. I thought why not Olivenhain, and move everyone out here, but she disagrees.
