I just moved to the city last Saturday, and so far everything has been absolutely wonderful. My partner and I can't seem to stop smiling, and we become downright giddy over the tiniest of things -- the quaint charm, the close proximity of everything, the hometown feel.

Also, their online banking is fantastic and easy to use.

FYI, they only take cash which is the shitty part of the deal because I NEVER have cash, so I always end up at the ATM first. They also don't deliver...for me no biggy because they're so close, but I don't know where you're located, so it could be an inconvenience for you.

(The only thing I'm not used to is the amount of homeless people, who are surprisingly assertive compared to NYC, where they pretty much leave you alone. We're not used to people actually asking for money.)
Friended you back!

I haven't been over to E. Ohio St., other than to drive down it, but I always want to, I'm just lazy or I forget about it.

E. Ohio Street is cute. There's a Goowill, a record shop, a pastry shop, some little restaurants and bars, about three photo-ish shops, a Citizens Bank. Very quaint. It's a bit of a hike from Western, though -- especially in the winter.
