Ohio and Ohioans are awesome. Let us tell you about it.

One of the best things about running Fuck Yeah Ohio is that I can be researching something completely unrelated to Ohio and BAM! there’s a cool Ohio company making what I was looking for and now I have a place to talk about it. Today’s example is Cleveland Cyclewerks.

If you’re looking for an affordable and customizable motorcycle designed, prototyped and engineered in Cleveland Ohio, CCW is your hookup.

If I haven’t come to my senses by summer, I’ll definitely be taking a look at Tha Misfit, because there’s a serious lack of new cafe racer style motorcycles these days and it’s great to see small shops like CCW meet the needs of people who don’t want a motorcycle the size of a car.

For the record: I don’t currently do any kind of sponsored content on Fuck Yeah Ohio, but if I ever do, it will be prominently noted. It’d look something like this “[COMPANY NAME] gave me a motorcycle. It’s pretty cool. You should buy one.”

The fine folks from Columbus Brewing Co. at the North Market’s Microbrew Festival, 2011.  Claustrophobics beware: if you go this year…people seem to like their beer and will flock to tight spaces to get it.

I can’t believe I missed this.
Hairy Elvises (Elvii?) and microbrews… we know how to have a good time.

Have a safe and happy New Year, everyone.

See you on the other side.

The Breeders “Shocker in Gloomtown” video featured on 120 Minutes, 1994

Holy crap!

I still remember the first time I heard the original version of Shocker in Gloomtown. I was not prepared. Not that anyone could be.

NEVER FORGET: There was a time when an impeccably groomed Ohioan walked on the moon.

How does an Ohio doctor celebrate his 100th birthday?

He goes to work.

He even still makes house calls.

Dr. Fred Goldman served on the front lines during WWII and is sharper and more active than many not even half his age. Clearly a nomination for the Ohio Badass Hall of Fame is in order.

You know what an Ohioan does at the end of World War II when the market’s flooded with surplus? He takes the skin off a Boeing B-29 Superfortress and builds his own car from scratch, that’s what he does.

This is currently the second Google search result for the phrase “Best Ohioan”. 

No comment.
