Howdy!

Looks like the job is taking me to the Chillicothe area. Didn't know if someone was in that general area. Looking to rent a house/townhouse/anything with a garage as well, if anyone knows of anything (that's always the hardest part).

I was out there earlier today and it looks like a nice mid-sized town.

Thanks all!

Sam

P.S. I look forward to being allowed to own Class 3 stuff!

Welcome to Ohio.

Where will you be working? Paper company?

Grain elevator. Will be traveling in the Leesburg/Chillicothe area. Would love to live out in the country.

Sounds like I will also be up in the Columbus area at least 1 day/week.

Grew up in chillicothe.  Family still lives there.  Plenty of places to rent, even in the country.  

Closest gun range is in circleville and is about a 30-45 minute drive.  Its a private club.

Fair warning, traffic is a nightmare, no one knows how to drive in that town and all the lights are out of sync.

Damn! 40 minutes! I guess I really do need to live out in the country. Glad to hear about the rentals. Any chance I could ask you to put the word out?


Thanks all!

I live in Chillicothe, what type of place are you looking at? Go to www.chillicothegazette.com to check the classifieds for rentals.

I guess you are coming from Illinois?   What you better find something cheap, because once you get to a free state you will find machine guns, silencers and other such things make you poor real quick.......

Be sure to try Jerry's Pizza and grab a Sumburger once you get in town.  Deer hunting is great in the area, but there's not much to do in the city itself aside from eat at a restaurant or do a bit of shopping.

Also, there's ONE single decent gun shop in town, Scott's Guns and & Ammo on Narrows Road.  Decent guy, decent price, kind of slim on selection.  

+1 on the Sumburger and Jerry's Pizza comment.  You'll have to drive almost an hour to shoot at a decent range, as previously mentioned, PCSI is ~30-minutes away.  I prefer to shoot in Clinton County, myself.  You'll definitely enjoy the freedom in firearms ownership and CCW.

I thought at one time they had a few ranges in Chillicothe (that would be closer than Circleville?)





As others said , the gazette is likely the best place as well as craigslist. I'm a real estate agent that services chillicothe and sadly they don't have a good online system of rentals like we do in Columbus or other larger areas.





If you know you're staying for more than 3-4 years you might want to look at buying , foreclosures are hitting Ross county pretty hard and you can get a property outside of town quite cheaply, with enough room for your own range.



Also, for gun stores there's quite a few within a hour or so drive of Chillicothe that are decent, I don't know about any of the ones mentioned in the thread but I like Ohio Valley in Lancaster.

If you haven't already been to Chillicothe, be prepared for the smell of the papermill.  However, if you live there for any time, you'll be told that what you smell is "money".
