After living in NY, TX, and NC before moving to OH, I have to take exception to some of your comments concerning the comparison on WNY to OH.
#1. Ohio Drivers. When I was in WNY twice this past summer, I saw much more reckless driving in WNY than OH. In fact, I compared it to the NCIR (North Carolina International Raceway - I40/I85). In the Columbus area, the roads are cleared fairly well. I agree WNY does a better job, but hey, they are better equipped.
#2. Ohio Inferiority Complex. In the public's eye, yes, Detroit is the CBJ's rival. Why? Because OH hates anything related to MI. Ask any player and Nashville is the rival. And I have asked quite a few to know this.
#3. Ohio climate. I beg to differ here big time. You mean to say that WNY's weather is much better than Ohio. They are pretty much the same thing. If the summer's are like they were this past one, I'm a happy camper.
And when you are through with school, let me know so that I don't accept your resume. And good luck finding anything of value back in WNY. CYA.
