The Most Famous Person From Every Ohio County

The most famous person from every Ohio county, all 88 of them, under one rule that moves two presidents: raised here, not born here. Ohio has a problem no other state has quite so badly. Steven Spielberg was born in Cincinnati and raised in Arizona. Thomas Edison was born in Milan and was living in Michigan by the age of seven. The state does the birthing and somewhere else gets the credit. So this video runs on one rule. Raised here, not born here, and the school years are what count. That rule takes a president away from one county and hands him to the next one over, and it costs Cincinnati more famous names than any other city in the state. We go county by county through all 88, in five regions. Central Ohio first, then the Southwest, the Southeast hill country, the Northeast where the money was, and the flat Northwest. Each region sends one champion forward, and the last few minutes decide who is the most famous person Ohio ever raised, measured on a plain yardstick: whose name would the most people on earth recognize. The whole thing opens on a two story house in a small Ohio town that went up for sale this August with no historic protection of any kind, and it closes on whose house that is. Along the way you get the earned details, not the résumé lines. A first lady who started the Easter egg roll on the White House lawn. A housewife from Newark who flew solo around the world in a single engine Cessna. A coach who forged his parents' signatures to play high school football. A county with nobody famous raised in it and an airship that broke apart in the sky overhead. The thin counties get twenty seconds and an honest label. The crowded ones get an argument, and you are going to want to have it in the comments.
