Born and raised in Ohio,
Youngstown, Ohio to be specific, most critics look down on my small little city like its the slums, far from pretty but like its grimy and gritty. Youngstown or Da Yo for short has all kinds of positives in it, around it and about it such as the local university has built a lot of new and nice facilities and not just on campus buildings are being put up but also around the city there are grocery stores and gas stations being built which is cool because this is happening in areas that need these places. There are more small businesses opening up everyday in my city which is another positive that is taking place here in Da Yo, a city so small it forces you to dream big, really big, extra big cause we know that there is a great big beautiful world outside of this little city and to get a glimpse of something better all we got to do is jump on the freeway and head to Cleveland bypassing Akron, Ohio which is a small city just like Youngstown it may be a little bigger, Akron is where the king of the court Lebron James was born and raised to by the way also is the home of Good year tire.
So we head to Cleveland where you can catch a Cleveland Cavs, Browns or an Indians game. Cleveland has the best downtown in Ohio it gets live and the people of Cleveland are about their fashion.
When we get through with Cleveland then we head to Columbus, Ohio which houses the most beloved team in Ohio which is The Ohio State buckeyes football team, O state most Ohioans pride and joy. Ohio state school is viewed as one of the best schools in the country. Columbus is our state capital and probably the biggest and nices city in Ohio full of opportunities, this is a city that many Ohioans flee to on a mission to live a better life.
Ohio the home of many rich and famous people you may have heard of like Rockafella, George Steinbrenner, The Warner bros., Dave Chappelle, Halle Berry, Sara Jessica Parker, and so many more, this state has produced six or seven U.S presidents I don't remember the exact amount at the moment.
Ohio is home and not as country as most outsiders would think, beautiful in the fall and spring to me, it can get hot in the summer, and cold as all hell in the winter.
In Ohio I've had some of my greatest days and some of the worst, while watching many of my family members pass away and friends murdered and also sent to prison for a lifetime.
This state has made me the man I am today and the writer/author I am today, the father that I am today.
This is where I'm from and still I have more to touch on, more cities to speak about that lay here in this state. So until next time pick up one of my books or all three of the books I got out with another one coming out any day now.
You see I was born and raised in Ohio.
