Pssst, just a hint... the thread is talking about which is more urban and/or which has better cities depending on if you go by the poll question or the thread title. Neither ask about natural scenery.
Now tell me where is this definition you're using that minimized the region comes from?
I don't care what Wikipedia says -- the "Great Lakes Megalopolis" is a made-up "region". Notice how the orange dots of places like St. Louis, Twin Cities, etc. don't touch the other orange dots?
Maybe this map is what I think of when I think of the "Great Lakes" region...
I do hope all those photos you are posting are your own, if not, they might get deleted because it is against TOS to post photos that are not yours. Just a heads up in case they disappear and you wonder where they went to, and why.

So it includes, you know, cities that are actually near the lakes?
That's the problem with trying to compare a place with distinct boundaries (California), with a place where nobody agrees with the borders.
As someone from the Great Lakes area, I totally agree with you on this one. I had never even heard the term "Great Lakes Megalopolis" before this thread.

I think within two hours or 100 miles of the shore is a good rule of thumb.
