What we don't talk about enough is Ohio's unique and remarkable quality of life. We are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach. There is no better place to raise a family.

I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.

There is a comfortable feeling in small towns. It is salubrious.

Veterans come from all walks of life, and they live in small towns and big cities, in red states and blue states.

Admittedly, they [(places in novels)] didn't all have such ridiculous names as the ones in the Piddle Valley where her father's group of parishes was centered. It would have been hard to make credible a romantic fiction set in Farleigh Piddle, Middle Piddle, Nether Piddle and Piddle Dummer.

People in small towns, much more than in cities, share a destiny.
