indianapolis has absolutely nothing in common with st. louis and cincinnati other than proximity. historically, developmentally, architecturally, economically and politically, it is very different. indianapolis is an overgrown small town, whereas st. louis and cincinnati were built to be great cities.

There was some debate as to what cities are actually rust belt.

If you're referring to me that is not what I meant. I stated that none of these where rust belt and that only Cincy & St. Louis were similar. I also said Indy was more like Columbus and Twin Cities.
With respect to being rust belt cities. This is not a Cincy v. St. Louis v. Indy topic.
Uh, actually it is. This is City vs. City after all. Before you complained when it was Milwaukee vs. Pittsburgh, now this. What are we allowed to discuss then?

I complained about Milwaukee v. Pittsburgh because it had descended into a juvenile peeing contest. Slengel's post, IMO, added nothing to the conversation regarding which is the strongest rust belt city, nor did it even address whether Indy should be defined as a rust belt city.

As I recall, you haven't contributed anything either.
I think the Rust Belt probably began in eastern Ohio, went as far north as Detroit as far south as St. Louis, and may have extended as far west as Tulsa. These cities may not look nor feel alike nor have anything in common except a manufacturing history. When manufacturing left these areas many were caught in 'unawares' - the powers that be did not believe it would happen to them. It did. The future is not good for a large swath of American communitites
