Christopher Geidner is better known as Law Dork. Blogging via Law Dork he covers a wide range of Ohio issues, and is a well trafficked Columbus blog. Christopher took the time to answer five of our questions about Ohio.If you are interested in being interviewed for the Ohio 5, drop us your blog's name, URL, and location and we'll be happy to check it out!
1) You and your town: a marriage of love, convenience, or necessity?
I love Columbus. I grew up in Youngstown and spent three years in Washington, D.C. Columbus is the perfect mix of the young, vibrant, diverse, political capital that is D.C., and the warm, friendly, supportive environment that is the Midwest.
2) A mysterious benefactor gives you $75, with the condition that you must do nothing productive. Where in town do you go, and what do you do?
My friends and I head to the new South Campus Gateway at OSU; we get dinner and then head to the Drexel for a movie.
3) You are your town's tour guide, on a tight schedule. What is the one place you show visitors? OK -- two places.
The Statehouse . . . and the Shoe - the two, constantly competing centers of the universe in Columbus.
4) The mysterious benefactor is back, this time with $500, three days off, and the condition that you must not leave the state. What's your plan?
Cedar Point, again with friends, and a stop over in Youngstown to see Mom.
5) You're an Ohioan. What about that makes you proudest? The flip side of pride is shame; go there too if you want.
he people of this state. There's a lot not-quite-great about Ohio these days, but it's clear that there are dedicated people who want to fix this state. Watching and joining those people at work - be they politicians, lawyers, teachers, volunteers, or people doing any of the many things that people do to help others and create change - makes me proudest of this state.
