To be clear, it’s Cincinnati.

Going with Cincinnati simply because it's close enough to the south to know what flavor is. And I don't mean Cincinnati chili 😒

I’ve not been in Cleveland enough to be a fair judge 


Navigating…Columbus by a lot


Overall…marginal edge to Cincy (Go Reds)

Columbus is my hometown, so it’ll always have a soft spot for me. But Cleveland to me is by far the best Ohio city. Better big city amenities, better architecture, better natural setting, more cohesive culture, cooler history than either of the other two.


Columbus’s identity has been lost to its bland suburban sprawl. Cincinnati is a wannabe southern city.

I’m Cleveland all the way, but I like Cincinnati, too. Columbus…….it just has that generic sprawl thing going on.  


BTW………Camp Washington over Skyline
