I think outside of the Isle of Manhattan, it's all 'here be dragons.'
:rolleyes: Surely even you could appreciate the Hamptons.

I get my fill of the Hamptons from watching Ina Garten's cooking show.

Never been. Dreadful to reach by car, no to the bus, and ugh to the train.

I will give you that you have to pass through all of LAWN GYELAND to get there. :x

People seem to tend to visit one part of Ohio and conclude the whole state is like the part they visited :rolleyes:

I've spent time in Akron, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Youngstown.

I repeat: I have no desire to move to Ohio. Ever.

Driving through doesn't count!

As in, more than a day, "spent time in". I forgot Cleveland. I spent a week there once, but that was mostly in the hospital, so I'm not sure that counts.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I think we would all like to forget Cleveland.

I've been/stayed in Columbus and Cleveland. Ugh. My one distant aunt did have a nice property though.

You probably had nobody to show you around Cincy, and you surely missed the awesomeness that is Over The Rhine (the recently gentrified parts, anyway).

Ouch.  As if Cleveland weren't bad enough.  Being in the hospital in Cleveland... :pinch:

Well, we told you several times that we were driving through there this summer, but did you offer to meet up? Noooo..... So you have only yourself to blame for my having missed the "good" parts of Cincy.

The doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are my heroes, but the city itself? Not so much.

The most common reference heard outside the US to Cleveland is in the phrase "Cleveland Steamer".  :P

Presumably, you have not previously felt this a glaring hole in your vocabulary.  :P

The question is ... does the phrase provide an accurate depiction of Cleveland, the city?  ;)
