I don't really have the energy to rap with you guys for long right now, though I do want to give everyone a quick rundown of references to Lima, Ohio that have shown up in the show "Glee" so far. Also, I should note, the show is pretty awesome... Albeit that I am a bit biased because it's about a guy who teaches music to a bunch of under privileged misfits and is based on the show choir I was in at my own high school.
Anywho...
Episode 1 - Not a whole lot going on here... The high school colors are the same. They established that it was a small town in Ohio and one of the kids speechifies about how he doesn't want to end up like all the other jerks in his school who don't go to college and become townies and notes that only half go to college and maybe two will do it out of state. I don't know if our numbers were quite that high...
Episode 2 - It's officially established that Washington McKinley high is supposed to be in Lima, Ohio! When the glee club does their routine of the song "Push It" in the school gym check out the right side of the screen. That's right, the official city of Lima, Ohio flag is hanging on the wall.
Episode 3 - At one point in the counselors office a few penants with college names on them are revealed hanging on the wall. They're all Ohio colleges, but one specifically is UNOH, or University of Northwestern Ohio right off Cable Rd in Lima. Others include Purdue, Kent State, and perhaps Bowling Green, which is also close to Lima.
This one is a tough call because I don't have HD TV and just watch it at 480p on my laptop, but later as Mr. Schuster is reading the review of Acafellas in the local paper for a brief moment the front of the page is shown which appears to say "The Lima News" on it in the top left. If anyone else is a nerd with better HD resolution than mine please verify or correct.
That's it for now. Later nerds!
