I was through here about 2 weeks ago, and used to go through regularly in my semi truck.
Bowling Green is below the line of lake effect snows. It does snow there, and often times it can get deep but not as much as it would get up closer to the Great Lakes. Less snow, but just as cold.
Not too far from Toledo, OH. Bowling Green, OH is on a major interstate, I-75 and near the Ohio Toll Road, I-80. North into Michigan to Detroit, West through Indiana into Illinois to Chicago and East to Cleveland, South to Dayton and Cincinnati beyond. Certainly not too far away from Canada to the North.
Ohio has suffered like the rest of the Midwest with a great loss of industrial jobs. I don't know what A-1 insurance is, but if your prospective employer offers health insurance, take it. Most likely you will have to help pay for it, but maybe not. I would guestimate that 75-85 % of companies have employee co-pay for insurance, with deductables, of course.
Ft. Megis is nearby, I understand they do a lot of American timeline re-enacting. I've always wanted to go.
Physically pretty flat land. Not overly hot in the summer, certainly not tropical. I think that area has installed a lot of the giant wind turbine windmills. I know there is a 24 hour Meijers there, I have parked my semi truck there. Lots of grain/vegetable farmers in the surrounding areas.
Not a metropolitan area by any means, but not like the lone prairie either.
C'mon over!
PS
There are several nice hatcheries in OH if you are of the poultry presuasion. Of course we don't have the exotic breeds that you all are used to, but you can get a fix.
PSS
They are building a new casino called Hollywood right on the banks of the Maumee River just south of Toledo.
Another PSS
Another wonderful thing about the US, you can go from the Pacific to Atlantic without having to get a stamp on your passport, lots of interesting things between the two oceans. |
