Good question. I'm near Akron. When the weather channel talks about the mid west, They stand in front of Akron. When they talk about the north east, they stand in front of Akron. I like the OH River, although most contributers are warmer.

Is there a reason not to visit both? I do. If you have a question you can post it in the more active forum at the time.
