1. Stop the car on the side of the highway, get out, spin around and yell, “This here is Ohio GOLD, mama!”

2. Watch back episodes of Real Housewives of Chillicothe.

3. Tell your friend, “Did you know Chillicothe is the world headquarters for log cabins made from Twizzlers?”

4. Cut the top off your car and ride around like that all winter and nobody says a thing.

5. Get up at the city council meeting and yell, “When the heck are we going to have an Outerbelt for this town. Gosh-saken.”

6. Go to the Tractor races at the county fair and realize your wife entered you in 7 out of 10 races.

7. Hold up your copy of the “The History of Chillicothe as Told by The Ones That Started it All” at the main library and whisper too loudly to people sitting nearby, “See, I told you great-granddaddy was Episcopalian!”
