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

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!

Awww, you wet blanket. Let the people have their fun.

I mean really how many times can I updaate you that it's in a box on the way?

Hey, leave us out of Kentucky! We are nothing like that state. (I won't say all the bad things that I think, as to not alienate more of our friends.. )

I'm amazed at how both of "my" cities are being referred to, here. I'm originally from Houston, TX, and I definitely prefer it to Ohio..

Geo, will the server be installed in a facility of yours, or did you just find a better hosting deal, here in Ohio?

Either way, if we ever play a "real-time" game, you'll have a significant ping advantage. ROFL..

As a Californian, the best thing I can say for Ohio is that I'd rather live in Ohio than Oklahoma

Hey, Toledo is not a suburb of Detroit! Of course, Toledo was nearly part of Michigan: the two states fought a war over it, and Ohio lost (Toledo was awarded to Ohio, but Michigan was given the entire UP, replete with its copper mines, in return). The greatest thing about Toledo is that it has a better zoo, better symphony, and better art museum than Detroit--and all without the crime rate!

And Geo, though I may live in Michigan, I'm an Ohioan at heart (not to mention still legally until July--had to file both MI and OH taxes this year. )

You crazy Ohionians, I see you and your cars on my highways going to our lakes and our forests because you don't have any left. Well, at least not much.

Is it possible to give an hourly update? There was a web site that would show second by second progress of aircraft. It would show a plane flying over a map and give airspeed and ETA. It was a nice graphic. I would love to follow the UPS van progress from NY to Ohio. Ohio BTW is Japanese for hello. Thank for all your help Geoschmo.

I believe it's Ohayo, and stands for Good Morning.
