Hi. My name is Michelle, and I am currently an intern in the Public Affairs Section at the
U.S. Embassy Vienna. Today, I'm here to tell you about my home state of Ohio.
Ohio often serves as a bridge between the Midwest and the Northeast, making it a popular hub for business. After all, it is home to Wendy's and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Ohio sits on Lake Erie to the north and is bordered by the Ohio River to the South allowing for many ports, as well as a lot of sailing, kayaking, and fishing. The river also gave Ohio its name. The Iroquois word ohi-yo means great river.
Native Americans inhabited Ohio for quite some time, with the Adena and Hopewell tribes being the most famous. Both tribes were mound-builders leaving behind spectacular works that are still studied today, mainly the Great Serpent Mound of the Adena and the earthworks from the Hopewell. However, these and most other indigenous cultures disappeared from Ohio by the late 17th century.
On March 1, 1803, Ohio became the 17th state. Today, Ohio has three major cities, known as the three C's, which cut diagonally across the state. Cincinnati is in the southwest, Columbus, the state capital, in the middle, and Cleveland, the Mistake on the Lake, in the northeast, where I'm from.
On the shore of Lake Erie, Cleveland is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While
often picked on by outsiders, Cleveland is a great place to live. It is also home to several
professional sports teams, including with my favorite baseball team-the Cleveland Indians. Go Tribe! Cleveland also has the second largest Playhouse Square in the country and the Cleveland Clinic and University hospitals which are world-renowned.
Also, my home town is often used as a backdrop in movies. In fact, The Avengers was
partially filmed in Cleveland and the upcoming Iron Man III and Captain America will
be as well.
Columbus is home to one of the largest college campuses in the country, The Ohio State
University, home of the Buckeyes, where you can always here our state rock song, Hang on Sloopy. As with most schools, our football team is the most well-known with seven national championships, but we can claim dozens of championships in other sports as well. Olympic gold-medalist Jesse Owens, basketball-star Bobby Knight, and golfer Jack Nicklaus all attended Ohio State.
Ohio is known as the Buckeye state, after the Ohio Buckeye Tree. Another nickname is the Birthplace of Aviation, as Ohio was home to the Wright brothers. Ohio is also the
birthplace of seven presidents and home to an eighth. One of these presidents James A.
Garfield lived less than twenty minutes from my home.
Ohio is home to both John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, and Neil
Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.
If you get out of the cities, you will see the beauty of Ohio that I love. The farmlands,
forests, and gentle hills are great for hiking, picnics, and even swimming if you're so brave. Here you can get all four seasons, gorgeous sunsets, and can drink your morning coffee while watching the deer in your backyard.
Ohio offers the best of both worlds, with the bustle of the city and the beauty of the country, so I invite you to visit-we have something for everyone.

Let's Visit Delaware State Park
Delaware State Park is located not far north of Delaware, OH along US 23 and the Olentangy River. The park offers some boat ramps, a marina, a beach (not featured as it was closed for the winter), camping, and miles of trails. I check out the day use area as well as one of the trails, the Mink Run Trail, which connects the day use area with the campground although the trail was a little muddy. At the end of the video, I head out of the state park over to the Delaware Dam which created Delaware Lake.

Kent is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the largest city in Portage County. It is located along the Cuyahoga River in Northeast Ohio on the western edge of the county. The population was 28,904 in the 2010 Census and was estimated at 30,071 in 2016. The city is counted as part of the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area and the larger Cleveland–Akron–Canton Combined Statistical Area.
Part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, Kent was settled in 1805 and was known for many years as Franklin Mills. Settlers were attracted to the area due to its location along the Cuyahoga River as a place for water-powered mills. Later development came in the 1830s and 1840s as a result of the settlement's position along the route of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal. Leading up to the American Civil War, Franklin Mills was noted for its activity in the Underground Railroad. With the decline of the canal and the emergence of the railroad, the town became the home of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad maintenance shops through the influence of Marvin Kent. In 1864 the town was renamed Kent in honor of and in gratitude for Marvin Kent's efforts. It was incorporated as a village in 1867 and became a city after the 1920 Census. Today Kent is a college town best known as the home of the main campus of Kent State University, founded in 1910, and as the site of the 1970 Kent State shootings.
Historically a manufacturing center, education is the city's largest economic sector with Kent State University the city's, and one of the region's, largest employers. The Kent City School District and the Kent Free Library provide additional education opportunities and resources. Many of Kent's demographic elements are influenced by the presence of the university, particularly the median age, median income, and those living below the poverty level. The city is governed by a council-manager system with a city manager, a nine-member city council, and a mayor. Kent has nearly 20 parks and preserves and hosts a number of annual festivals including ones related to Earth Day, folk music, and the U.S. Independence Day. In addition to the Kent State athletic teams, the city also hosts a number of amateur and local sporting events at various times during the year. Kent is part of the Cleveland-Akron media market and is the city of license for three local radio stations and three television stations and includes the regional affiliates for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Local transportation infrastructure includes a public bus service and hike-and-bike trails. As the home of the Davey Tree Expert Company, Kent is known as The Tree City while residents are referred to as Kentites. The city has produced a number of notable individuals, particularly in politics, athletics, and the entertainment industry.

SCARIEST ROLLER COASTER IN THE USA
*** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE *** The Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. From 0 to 120 miles per hour (193 km/h) in 3.8 Seconds. Shoots you straight up to 420 feet (130 m)
It is known for being one of the most scary, and fastest (non-harness) roller coasters in the world.
LAYOUT:
After leaving the station, the train enters the launch area. To the left of the launch area is a Christmas tree light, similar to those employed at the starting line of a drag strip. A brief message is played to the riders to: keep arms down, head back, and hold on.
Once the train is prepared to launch, a motor revving sound effect is played and its magnetic braking fins are lowered from the launch track. It then launches, accelerating to a speed of 120 mph (190 km/h) in 3.8 seconds.
Shortly after reaching its maximum velocity, the train begins its ascent up a 90-degree incline, twisting 90 degrees clockwise before climbing over the 420-foot (130 m) top hat.
Upon descending, the track twists 270 degrees before leveling out, allowing the train to be stopped by the magnetic brakes.
