When it comes to discussing which state best reflects the ideals of mainstream America, it's always difficult to gauge. While places like New York and California may control this country's culture industry, there is a disconnect between the values of these cosmopolitan areas and Middle American small towns. While states like Wisconsin or Virginia deserve some credit for reflecting the true American spirit, can any state really topple the credentials of Ohio?

Known as the Presidential State to reflect that the state has produced seven presidents, Ohio is full of All-American communities. While the Ohio landscape is dotted with excellent communities, isn't it appropriate that the Buckeye state is home to the city of Bucyrus?

Located in scenic Crawford County in mid-northern Ohio, Bucyrus is a blue collar community that values middle American friendliness. The type of community where you can't help but want to lay roots down in, this simple American community was home to 13,224 at the time of the 2000 census.

A multicultural community, Bucyrus is embedded in an area of Ohio full of charmingly small communities. Within a twenty mile radius of Bucyrus are such esteemed Ohio communities like: North Robinson, Chatfield, Nevada, Caledonia, New Washington, Galion, Tiro, and Crestline. The state capital of Columbus is just 56.5 miles away.
