Huh? From Lakewood (fairly centrally located within Cleveland), it's 128 miles farther to the end of the Holland Tunnel in Manhattan than it is to the Chicago Loop. I've gone from the Cuyahoga/Lorain border to my house in Chicago off the Division Street exit on the Kennedy Expressway in five hours flat. I don't know if 5:45 would even put me in New Jersey, let alone Manhattan.
It's a response to post see original post above....
Cleveland and Pittsburgh are old cities whereas Indianapolis and Columbus are newer cities and also state capitals to their respective states. I'm not very fond of the Midwest and Northeast cities due to my preferences in weather, location, architecture, and sometimes even culture.
Although if I had to pick, I would definitely pick Indianapolis and Columbus over the other two, those are modern cities of this time period, growing, feel young, are young, and increasing in relevancy whereas the other two are older cities, have been plagued with issues in the past and even now at the present, and I just don't like their architecture sense.

One, your comment makes no sense. Two, you do realize that the majority of Americans live in suburbia and have been for several decades right? Three, you do know that when people move they still overwhelmingly choose suburbs over core cities right?
No, unfortunately that has not panned out to be true, the bulk of your movement patterns still go from suburb to suburb.
That's what I mean by metropolis.
Basically over sized metros: a core city in the middle or a set of twin cities (I.E Dallas/Fort Worth, Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Miami/Fort Lauderdale, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, etc) with a large string of inner, outer, and exurban areas all around them going for tens of hundreds of miles in every direction possible with high level of interconnectivity within the metro.

I'm pointing out that the suburban kids, overwhelmingly white, have turned cities like Columbus and Indianapolis into a big suburb. The response was directed, if you read it, on choosing Columbus and Indianapolis over Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
The rise of the suburban generation was in 1950, this is the rise of the megapolis/megapolitan generation.
Not really when they cluster in overwhelmingly white cities because they're safe and they can still think they're city slickers. Portland, Oregon is the best example.
