Moving To Ohio
Once you’ve figured out the logistics of your move, working out the details of the long-distance relocation, you can focus on what moving to Ohio is going to be like and learning about your new home state. Depending on what area of the country you are coming from, there is likely something new to you about Ohio and life in the state.
Employing common sense when traveling is always important. Lock your vehicle when you are not nearby. Don’t leave things of value in plain sight. Pay attention to your surroundings. Ohio boasts a number of large cities. If you’re planning to travel between or within one of these cities, it’s a good idea to do research to find out exactly where you’re going and if there are any areas to avoid.
When traveling, if you are doing so during the winter months, snow is a possibility. Taking it slow and having a blanket, water, and snacks in your vehicle in case of a breakdown are all good practices. During the summer months, keeping plenty of water on hand is also a good idea.
If you are looking to bypass large cities during your travel, I-670 and I-675 will allow you to bypass Columbus and Dayton respectively. I-270, I-271, and I-275 allow you to bypass Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. I-475 and I-480 allow for bypassing Toledo and Cleveland. Avoiding the major cities and utilizing these routes can save you time as you traverse the state.

Things to do in Ohio & Other Fun Facts
Ohio is a land of firsts, with the first ambulance service being started in Cincinnati in 1865, and America’s first-ever traffic light having been installed in Cleveland in 1914. Ohio gave America its first hot dog in 1900, and the Cincinnati Reds were the first professional baseball team. There is a lot of history to be discovered throughout the state.
Speaking of the Reds, if you’re a baseball enthusiast, the Great American Ball Park is a great place to catch a game, whether you’re a fan of the Reds or the opposing team.
Cleveland is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which hosts exhibits of the greatest rock musicians in history. The Elvis exhibit is a favorite of many visitors, containing such things as his actual 1975 Lincoln Continental. In addition to the Hall of Fame, you could catch a Cleveland Indians game, or if it’s football season, root for the Browns.
For the history buff, the National Museum of the US Air Force can be found in Dayton. For the thrill-seeker, try Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky. For the nature lover, a trip to Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes, may be in order. There are many things to do there, from hiking to water sports.

Testimonials
Overall the move went very well. Movers at both pickup and delivery were friendly, professional and quick. We only had a couple small items break, which was not a big deal. We have no complaints about the process. The final amount paid was less than the quote, which was a plus. – customer
