You asked about Ohio first so I compiled that one first. Some additional limitations were placed upon this compilation: Only municipal incorporated areas that are self-governing (cities and villages) were considered, townships (incorporated entities that do not self-govern and are part of a city) were excluded. Also not considered were city names including directionals (North, South, East, West. ie. South Euclid) or prefixes (New, Old, St. ie. St. Mary's) as those could be argued as alphabetized under their proper names (ie. Euclid, Mary's). This list was compiled with the assistance of Wikipedia.

It's a self-standing town of 700 residents (meaning it barely makes the OH statutory standard to be a village and not be forced to incorporate itself into another municipality.) in Logan county with an area of just over 1 sq. mi. It was named after John Quincy Adams. The mayor is Daniel Robinson, elected in 2007 unopposed. The nearest city is Bellfontaine, OH (population ~14,000) the county seat of Logan county. It's WNW of Columbus, about 3/4 the distance to the IN border.

That's everything I know about Quincy, OH. Thank good for Google; I've never been there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy,_Ohio

Wanted to give the kids a taste of another era.

I found maybe the last surviving river ferry to cross the Oh Hi. They thought it awesome.

Racked Mom points that day. lol

Cleveland? Seriously? Why?

There are probably at least 19 cities I could name that would have been better suited for that than Cleveland.

What does a rest stop have to do with anything?

I have no idea why the Hall of Fame is there.

I am counting the few days I have until I move. 91 days. 91 days...
I can't wait to get out of this Twilight Zone of a state. It's like the South, except...freezing. I will explain that I live in central Ohio.

I really like Cleveland and Cincinnati, but holy cow. Central Ohio has more Mossy Oak wearin', gun totin' hicks than Oklahoma!

I am looking forward to mountains, kayaking, and rock climbing...and I'm so close to DC now.

I'm out along the Hudson River in New York. I would not want to live in Ohio. But I did have memorable visits there with DUers. So when I hear ~ Ohio . . . I think about DU.
