A Connecticut Yankee Defends his Love of Ohio
This website is a side project that stems from my book Dispatches to America: A Route 66 Memoir. As a current Pennsylvania resident, I need to drive from Philly through Ohio and Indiana to get to Route 66. Ever since my first roadtrip in 2001, I have been incredibly fascinated with the state of Ohio, which seems to get trashed in the media all the time (and by many of its citizens!). There are some kind people and interesting places to go in Ohio, and I wanted to highlight them here.
To be clear, I do not look at Ohio through rose-colored specs—I know what I see, and I will be honest about it…
