I’m from the Boston area and as a kid we took a road trip to Sandusky for Cedar Point (Summer 2002ish). Driving through NE Ohio is still to this day, the most “white” poverty I’ve ever seen. We stopped at a local diner and I swear it felt like I was in a war zone. Everyone was miserable and shuffled around; the food was awful. Everything was fucking dirty or broken. I can’t believe that it’s supposedly gotten worse there over the past few decades.
Yep, Ohio can best be described as Mediocre Shabby.
