Hello, Red-State America!

I visited Ohio for a week at the start of this month. This Bay Stater enjoyed touring red-state America. Until this month, I'd mostly visited blue-state destinations (New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, DC).

Among the highlights: Getting addicted to Tim Hortons bagels and Skyline chili. Touring art museums in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Walking across the bridge into Kentucky. And getting an up-close look at the religious right.

I'd like to do it all again!
