I live in the Metro Detroit area (about and hour outside of Toledo, Ohio) and all restaurants are closed. Everyone walks around with masks and quite frankly, they are frightened. Today my Fiance and I decided to drive down to Ohio for a night out at a steak house. Damn were we surprised. It felt "normal". People were not jumping out of the way as you walked in their path and they were super polite.
In reality, Gretchen Whitmer is outsourcing Michigan's restaurant industry to Ohio and Indiana. We drove down there and spent our money paying Ohio state taxes. What an idiot this woman is.
BTW we made it home safe. Who would have thought??? Gretchen has our community scared to their teeth, it's frightening what she is doing.
I live just north of Detroit. She's only following the science and data. And I guess the science is saying covid can't spread over the michigan/ohio border. She's such a dumbass.
So do I. We went to Ann Arbor today and holy shit man... we were walking in a park and a guy literally took his cane and used it as a social distance barrier as we walked passed him. WTF, that place is a cess pool. Much different feel in Ohio. It is sad because the server said their restaurant and others have been extremely busy because Michiganders are going there. All of our tax dollars are going to Ohio. What a cunt, to put it nicely.
Ann Arbor is the New York of the Midwest. I mean, I'm a Michigan fan but they don't make it easy.
To be honest, I hate Ann Arbor, including the Wolverines. The people there are not my favorite. I like a few spots to eat (Zingermans). However, my fiancé spent quite some time at U of M and today we had engagement photos taken around the area. I don't head there very often.
Hi! Ex Michgander Here that still has Friends In Michigan. I also Worked in Michigan until the end Of 2019. 2020 Was a knew ball of wax. Anyways, To my point. I live in Ohio now. a City called Troy. (dont care about Doxing) Its North of Dayton. Best thing I ever Did was to move out of Michigan. People are Nice as Hell here and The Bars are Friendly etc. Restaurants are Open, some fast food are only doing window but all sit downs Are full going. I went to a Chain Bar near me and No Masks at all. A few stuupid rules they follow as not to Have the State come down on them. Trust Me Its waaaaay Better in Ohio than Michigan.
Michigan People have a shitty attitude. I did also. Until I got around very Nice people and then it Rubs Off. My Michigan Buddy is trying to move to Tenn. My other Buddy Moved to Florida. My Brother Moved to Florida. Everyone is sick of Michigan.
That is the exact experience I had with the people there too. Super friendly and nice. I really enjoyed it there. I am for the business deciding the rules they want and such. Not the government forcing people to do things and businesses to shut down. That is what pisses me off. I honestly have been depressed and pissed here with the shit that is going on. It felt so nice to have a sense of normalcy for the brief time we were there.
Plan to Move, Cause its not going to get any Better there. When you get out of Michigan you find out how Nice People are and Honest. Its very amazing and very Eye opening. Also Real estate in Many States are cheaper and There are areas with No crime.
It might be different situation in northwestern Ohio, but it's the polar opposite in northeast Ohio. Of course, this is Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) which is a liberal stronghold. After a strong economic boom, the city saw a resurgence thanks to the restaurant and entertainment industries. It won't be able to recover this time...
Who is choosing that the restaurants and industries to be shut down? Our Governor is forcing business to shut.
DeWine.

try coming to Florida, some parts there are more not wearing masks than wearing them, indoor dining open everwhere, bars too. You can even stay out past 10PM. DeWine not a fan of that.
I cannot even imagine that up here. That sounds like paradise.
lol calling Ohio "normal"
shit is really hitting the fan.
p.s. half the restaurants here in SW Ohio are shuttered too with only drive thru service. gotta wear a mask everywhere, etc.
But who is making that decision? Our Governor has literally shut everything down. Is the business making that decision?
But yea, I agree.. when we start saying Ohio is like a vacation.. shit is really backwards.
the mask order is from the governor. the laundromat i go to has a sign outside saying Mike is forcing them to enforce mask mandate. it was one of the last holdouts around here over the summer. i dont think there is a mandate for restaurants but i think most have just decided to suspend indoor dining. i believe there is a bar curfew too but i dont go to any so dont pay attention.
constantly being berated by crying nurses on the radio cus us dumb hicks dont believe in the rona. really getting sick of it.
The people who are terrified are doing it to themselves.
Agree. The worst part is their logic makes zero sense.
Welcome to Ohio.
I now love your state. We went out to eat a while back with my parents in Perrysburg. It has been such a great time going down there. I want to stay at one of the casinos there to have a mini vaca.
I'm thankful Dewine hasn't gone off the deep end but that's not stopping the county level from trying bullshit. One county I work at the mask is practically a formality, another in Butt Fuck Egypt is practically on lockdown, by appointment only, no mask no service bullshit. And these are right next to each other.
SCIENCE don't you follow the SCIENCE??
