Houston has allure?

Oh, sure, I'd expect they have plenty of fishing tackle shops. < g, d, & r >

Hmmm.... as the token European on this particular post and English to boot, it would seem that even you damned yankees have differing views about Ohio vis a vis its contribution to the planet as a global heritage site.

The net conclusion is that it is a bit of a stinker, has an affinity to an amphibian's naughty bits and is a place with a stack of young fillies who are enhanced in the jubbly department (or is Mac just fantasizing again?)

Hmmm.. Mac, Boston is pseudo-European in ts outlook, as are many of the southern cities so it is only natural I would be attracted that way. I lived for 9 months in San Franscisco and liked it a lot, but then I was living wit my pop idol at the time and got use to seeing transvestities before breakfast

Conclusion - Madrid = great, Cleveland = yuk unless you like grain elevators

If by "fishing tackle shops" you mean, sleezy porn stores, I whole-heartedly agree.

Heh, actually GT the grain elevators are in Toledo, not Clevland. But what's 120 miles, er sorry 190 kilometers between friends. Roughly the distance fom London to Birmingham I think.

What you have to realize about Ohio is that it's hard to pin down. It varies so much from city to city, north to south, east to west. It's very much like a small Version of the United States in that respect.

I live in Southwest Ohio myself. Dayton. The home of the Wright Brothers. The ones that invented the Airplane, yeah that's them. Dayton is really just a large town that thinks it's a big city. It's kind of given us a complex I am afraid. We are like the shortest kid in the class that is always making noise just to be heard.

To me Cleveland might as well be New York City. But I am sure people in Cleveland would think that's crazy talk from some hick Northern-Kentuckyian.

You won't find any grain elevators in Cleveland. Even so, no there isn't much to like about Cleveland. As an Ohio resident myself I have to say that it's not really 'one' place. You've got the northern lake shore 'rust belt' area, you've got the mid-state 'boom-town' of Columbus (also the capital), you've got the southeastern 'Appalachia' region, and you've the more typical 'midwest' type regions in the west and southwest of the state. Cincinatti is more like a part of Kentucky than the rest of Ohio. And Toledo is a suburb of Detroit (it would be the second largest city in Michigan if it were to 'secede' and join Michigan...) It's a very diverse place. There aren't many states with as wide a variety of social and geographic conditions scattered so widely. Most states are heavily weighted towards one demographic/economic situation or another and have only small minorities of the others. Here we've got equal portions of industry and agriculture, urban and rural, etc.

I don't think the 'fillies' here are particularly well endowed. You'd want to go to California for that, where they have the highest proportion of women with artifical enhancements. The movie industry, ya know.

It would be nice if someone would create a thread for important information about the PBW status since this thread is certainly not it!
