Well, today I'd say it's know for its incredibly pungent lake.

Wineries and hot air balloons.

Temecula? More like Border patrol checkpoint and flat billers.

You got a problem with my hat...bro?

Yes...no shortage of doucebags with Monster stickers on their lifted mall crawlers, tapout t-shirts, flat bills and neck tats.

I'm so glad I defected back to the good ole USA and left The Democratic People's Republic of Kalifornia. I sure don't miss Temecula, RB or Mira Mesa one bit. Enjoy the commies, I mean, the liberals there

Sometimes referred to as the 'misery zone'. Cold, icy winters, hot, humid summers, insane amounts of rain and about 3 days of spring and fall. Nearly the fewest sunny days per year anywhere in the US (yes, fewer than Seattle). Also, nearly the poorest area in the nation. We've got beautiful hills suffering from mine drainage (every seen a creek with a pH of 2.4?), flat fields that used to be hills, and LOTS of clay soil completely devoid of any nutrients. We used to have brick and coal industries booming here, and now the only things we export are sadness, economic dependence and government debt.

There are plenty of awesome things about Ohio, but depending on where in Ohio you might be will vary the experience widely. Where I'm at, the experience is...unique.

Epic amounts of fucktards.

Seriously, this place just sucks.

Horrible traffic, and as a white male I am THE minority. Hell, my apartment building is largely Chinese and Mongolians. The building should smell like a Mongolian BBQ, but instead the hallways smell like a freshly used toilet bowl.

Quoted:
Direct from wiki:

Carmel has become the unofficial roundabout capital of the United States, due to the installation of over eighty roundabouts and demolishing 78 sets of traffic signals. Mayor James Brainard has said, "We have more than any other city in the US. It's a trend now in the United States. There are more and more roundabouts being built every day because of the expense saved and more importantly the safety."

My old hometown is adding them constantly.
