Oberlin, Ohio

This is where Oberlin College is. Yay, northeastern Ohio.

According to the last US Census, the population of Oberlin is around 8,200 people. However, nobody is quite sure whether this figure includes the 3,000 or so students, meaning that the actual population is somwhere between 8,000 and 11,000.

Here's a great quote from The Plain Dealer: [1]

"Oberlin isn't the only city where you can see an interracial lesbian couple holding hands as they pass an elderly man walking his dog down the street near a nuclear family of three. Or Renaissance masterworks in a rural town of 8,000. Or an army-navy store that carries anti-male bumper stickers.

"But it's probably the only one in Ohio."
