Ohio leads the country in tree planting.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer "Ohio, for the 26th year, has more Tree City USA communities - 249 - than any other state. Ohioans last year planted more than 35,000 trees and spent more than $36 million on urban forestry efforts."

ohio: Ohio is the heart of it all
- 02/14/07 12:40 AM
"Ohio is the heart of it all" is an old slogan for Ohio tourism / commerc... we have moved on from that slogan and I really can't tell you what the current Ohio slogan is.
Michigan folk think their state is shaped like a mitten... we don't really think our state is heart shaped... well maybe a little...It's more about where Ohio is in the United States.
In 'SIX THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT: OHIO' by Frank Smith" on Black Table:
"If Ohio is the heart of it all where is the brain?"
"-- state that boasts itself as the Heart of It All. And … (2 comments)

ohio: Groundhogs are local
- 02/01/07 02:37 AM
OK tomorrow is Groundhogs Day... or is it Ground Hogs Day? I remember this spelling question from last year... I think my 2006 story says "Ground Hog" and I went with "Groundhog " in 2007. What's a blogger to do? Maybe the new Active Rain spell checker will help with that dilemma.
Active Rain will accept both which leads me to believe it should be spelled groundhog.
Lisa Dunn and Fred Pickard have both covered Groundhogs Day on Active Rain....
Fred's right there in PA with the best known groundhog and Lisa tied it into real estate. Is our spring season going … (2 comments)

ohio: Winter Solstice
- 12/20/06 04:11 PM
It's about time.
Winter arrives today at 7:22 P.M.in Columbus Ohio. The Winter Solstice listing in Wikipedia confused me. It says the 2006 Winter Solstice is December 22, 2006. I went back to check, 0:22 A.M on December 22, 2006 UTC or GMT.
"UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time." according to the site with the time converter above.
It's about space. Today is the shortest day of the year... and the longest night of the year.

ohio: Worthington Area Market Report
- 12/19/06 10:43 AM
There are areas of the City of Columbus which are in school districts other than the City of Columbus School district. Parts of northwest / north Columbus are in the Worthington School District.

The problem with the TrendGraphix Market Reports I create for my blogs is that they are only available for an MLS area. The problem with our MLS areas are they've been around a long time and they really don't make a lot of sense. The good news is I believe we will be getting away … (4 comments)
