True Ohioan?

A new friend of mine sent me this article/quiz from the June Issue of Ohio Magazine.
The article is called Are You a Bona Fide Buckeye? It is written by Mike E Harden.

Take a peak at some of the questions below.

1. Which one of the following restaurant chains is not headquartered in Ohio: Bob Evans, White Castle or Roy Rogers?

5. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married at the Ohio farm of which Ohio writer?

18. What Ohio City was home to the rock group Devo?

29. What well-known Ohio song begins with the prelude, “Long long ago, Someone I know, Had a little red canoe, In it room for only two”?

For the entire article (and answers to the trivia above) visit www.ohiomag.com/magazine/life/article.asp?ID=0CF114ADB7AF4A74AF88C805E9A8F888
