So where you all from?
When they ask where the hell is Chillicothe Ohio, we all say the same thing, it's just...
South of Columbus
Our small local enterprise is proudly, sometimes too much, based in Chillicothe Ohio (pronounced Chill-ah-Caw-thee not Chill-eh-coth)Â
The First Capital, The Paper City, and sometimes, just sometimes, The Third Capital, if you're nasty. We don't much a cotton to Chillitucky... even though that whole phrase would beg to differ. And while the stack has fallen silent, it still "Smells Like Money" to the Locals.
South of Columbus is a new brand, and a new local identity, from the mind of celebrated local designer Jarrod DePugh, who has lent his creative talents to forge a new vision of local pride with a hint of subversion, and a pinch of punk rock attitude. Â
