Lorain, Ohio - Easy Going and Friendly 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 05, 2010) When many people think of Ohio, they tend to think of Cleveland or maybe even Columbus. Lorain, Ohio is usually just an afterthought, it shouldn't be. The city of Lorain offers a nice place to live in or to visit. The city has a population of around 68,000 people.

I've enjoyed ...Read More Lorain, Ohio many times. In the summer you can enjoy yourself on the soft sand beach. Lake Erie is great for swimming and other water related activities. The city of Lorain also offers many great restaurants for you to dine in. The housing market in Lorain offers great homes at affordable prices. The streets and neighborhoods are pretty quiet and the yards are well kept.

One of the great things about Lorain is the friendly people. The city has a laid back feeling to it and the people are easy going and nicely mannered. If you like beautiful cities with a nice laid back feel Lorain, Ohio is the place for you. If you visit, there is a good chance that you may actually not want to leave. Read Less
