Pretty cool article. I had no idea there was an Ohio Valley Club in Columbus.

Damn...I miss DiCarlos!

Evan Spencer, son of legendary Tim Spencer fro St.C is currently playing for the Buckeyes. The DeLande kid's parents are from Shadyside and St. C as well. Its too bad the OV can't keep people there, but it is what it is. Can't stay there if you want to make a decent living outside of phyical labor your whole life.

People from the Valley are all over the place up here. I had a class at Cstate with people from River, Shadyside, Bridgeport, and Ferry.

Whenever people see me wearing a Martins Ferry shirt people come out of no where to talk to me.

are you from there?

I know I will not be going back there after college. No opportunity.

Probably 3/4 of my high school class live in either Columbus or Cincinnati (or their respective suburbs). Anyone who works and doesn't work in the local hospital or public schools had to move. There are no jobs.

Just had Dicarlos tonight. In the Valley for work and it sucks. Be in Steubenville tomorrow if anyone wants to grab a beer.

I'm from Columbus but my parents are from Ferry and Bridgeport. I spent a lot of my childhood down in Ferry though.

If you want the best DiCarlos you gotta got to Elm Grove in Wheeling.

Isn't there still a DiCarlo's in Hilliard?

There used to be one in Dublin and I believe Pickerington as well, but those ones folded up shop. The Dublin store was in a terrible location and they did not market themsevels at all. Business takes me back to the Ohio Valley all the time and whenever I am at the court house in St. C, I make sure to bring home a tray.

As far as the migration goes, it is huge. In particularly there seems to be tons of folks from the Valley in places like Pickerington, Blacklick, Reynoldsburg and the eastside of Columbus. I guess it helps shorten that commute back to visit relatives.

Most of my class from Big Red live in Cbus.

When we played Watterson up there a few years ago the Big Red people took over the stadium....a lot of the Big Red fans were ones that lived up in Cbus.

There's still one here in Hilliard. It's nice having one but doesn't come close to the one in Elm Grove though. I want a defelice pizza place in Hilliard along with Zontini's lol.

You already know I've eaten at that place a couple times the spinoffs just don't that location justice.

There's a Defelice Bros. on Livingston Avenue--- not Hilliard, but you don't have to go all the way back to the Valley to pick up a pie.
