Re: What's attractive about OH / KY?
Thanks all.
The main driver behind the move is to totally get rid of the mortgage (we should show up with enough cash to buy a modest house).
I'm not opposed to snow, in fact living on the West coast of England I have missed it (we don't get any!).
I know the area we are going to is deviod of what some may consider "interesting" things to do, but at 37, that's not my main reason for moving. Besides, that's what road trips are for.

Get pally with LeBron, he lives just outside Akron. With 35,000 square feet, a casino, bowling alley, sports bar and 6 car garage I'm sure he can get ever channel known to man and you won't be short of places to watch it or park! It's off Idlebrook Drive in Bath, just in case you want to look!

Re: What's attractive about OH / KY?
There seem to be a disproportionate amount of forum members who are living in OH and KY (unless it just so happens that the more active posters are living there).
I wondered why these two states are "popular" for British Expats?
Or am I imagining the whole thing?
We will at least initially be living in southers OH too.....

Not normally a good reason to carry debt, but you may want to investigate.

I'll be honest and say that I'm not fond of Louisville, Lexington, or Cincinnati, and would choose Chicago over all of these if not for the s-s-snow there!
