two things of note: ohio has the awesomest turnpike rest stops/food courts i've ever seen. they're practically futuristic, and incredibly clean. also, ohioans are, like, the nicest people in the entire world. we've come across several retail/food service people, all of whom are incredibly friendly, sincere, and chatty, even the teenagers, who by all rights should be terrible, rude and sulky.
but other than that, OH pretty much sucks. free wifi in the hotel rocks, though.
tomorrow: catherine takes chicago by storm! with three billion pounds of boxes! she will change the gravitational pull of the planet!

Wow. The Ohio Turnpike would seem to have changed quite a bit in three years. Then again, most of my encounters with its denizens were being given speeding tickets. I could never quite get the hang of the 10-miles-under-the-limit rule they have there.
Good to know they're nicer now!
They are quite nice now. The turnpike rest stop in Amherst near 58 in Lorain County was even featured in Esquire last year, in its Genius Issue. The architect was spotlighted. I grew up right down the road from there, and am moving back next month
Ohioans are generally pretty nice and open. Race and religion cause some issues though.
thanks for coming to bluestate saturday night! good luck with taking chicago by storm!
