Well, it’s fucking disgusting in the Midwest. I thought I didn’t like it until I moved back to California. How could storage and shipment affect it so?
I recall the Midwest had a preponderance of Fuerte avocados (the smoothish green-skinned ones). Hass avocados (with rough black skin) are far better.
The best I ever had was a grapefruit-sized black spherical avocado from a friend’s tree in Long Beach. The flesh was dark green and ridiculously flavorful. Best guac ever.
People don’t believe me when I say avocados in the Toronto area are not good. “They’re the same avocados!” they’ll say, but I lived in SoCal and no, they are not the same damned avocados.
Avocado doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t start ripening until it’s picked. Can’t help you with the Ohio part though.

Interesting! I bet that had something to do with it.
You’re either insane, or your grocers store them in the worst possible conditions.
it’s the grocers. can’t explain it, but i’ve lived a lot of places and there’s something special about the avocados in socal

It’s not just me!
They’re not sending their best.
I am insane, yes, but also I don’t think Ohio grocers in the '90s knew what to do with avocadoes
I live in the Midwest, and usually they’re hard at the store, so you have to plan ahead. You want nachos Sunday? Buy the avocados on Thursday. Boom.
That’s avocadoes everywhere. They just also taste like shit in Ohio.
