I live in the NW part of Ohio and we are Flatlanders here lol.. But you start to get around Bellfontaine and they get to be rolling hills there. There is a place to ski there too. Its quite pretty in the fall with all the colors. I think Dayton and Cincinatti are hilly too. The SE part of Ohio is really pretty . Lots of wildlife there also. I cant remember much about the NE part though. Even though we used to go to Sea World alot when I was younger. I like living here. I am about an hour away from Ft Wayne Indiana.. which is really nice for shopping also. Columbus is about 3 hrs away. Lima about 15 minutes away and they have decent shops there too and a mall good restaurants etc. Cincinatti is about 4 hrs away give or take about 15 min according to traffic. Hope this helps some!!! Ohh and Cleveland is about 3 and a half hrs away
