- We enjoy and appreciate the good things (and people) in life.

- We know how to appreciate the beauty of rural scenery…

- People from small town Ohio don’t fly into a fit of confusion, frustration or rage anytime someone describes where they live as Columbus, Cincinnati or Cleveland when they really actually live in a suburb near those cities. We get it.

- We don’t take malls and other shopping destinations for granted.

- It takes a lot to bore us and we don’t need extravagant things to entertain us.

- We don’t believe in “nickel-and-diming” people with things such as parking meters.

- A trip to one of our state’s bigger cities is genuinely fun for us.
