Minneapolis/St Paul MN (sort of a regional hub for a segment of the Midwest and sort of a "start up" place)
Detroit MI (obvious, seat of the auto industry and allied industries)
Saint Louis MO (the biggest player in the lower Midwest)
Cleveland OH (the most important of the Ohio trio, plus a navigable lakefront location)

I agree with this list. Some may argue against Cleveland, favoring Columbus or Indianapolis due to their growth and current economies, but Cleveland is still a hub and culturally more significant than its neighbors (sans Detroit).

Population and transit has nothing to do with the subject most important cities after chicago. While we are on the subject cincinnati has a very fast growing metro in fact it has one of the two fastest growing counties in ohio and we are currently building a streetcar system copying off portlant oregon's streetcar. Anyway getting back on track we have lots of major headquaters here in cincinnati including

Proctor and Gamble
Rumpke
united dairy farms
kroger
Big boy restaurant
Kings Island(one of the largest amusement Parks in the country has more rides then six flags)
Luxottica retail(operates stores like sunglass hut or lenscrafters)
Cincinnati childrens hospital(Named one of the best childrens hospital in america)
Fifth third bank
and so much much more more more more more....haha

^I'm going to have to ask for some statistics to back up the "fast population growth in Cincinnati" claim. This is news to me, but admit I may not know a ton about Cincy!

Although Hamiliton is not growing very much but warren and butler and clermont all next to hamilton is growing

So do you not feel that Cleveland and Akron are one metro? That's okay, but if you agree they are then you'd realize that the region has closer to 3 million people.

Also, Cincy gained a bit over 5.5K people.....Is that the city or the metro? Over what period of time (a year, a decade, etc.)??

cleveland-akron consolidated metropolitan area is much larger than cincinnati, with something very close to the 3 million mark. st. louis is also nearly 3 million.

Cincinnati (the city) fell under 300k on the 2010 Census for the first time since 1890, and the 2011 city estimate puts it at a further loss of ~300 people. Most likely cali is referring to the metro.

Cincinnati metro is growing at a pretty good rate, their is alot of connectivity going on between dayton and cincinnati, if we both combine we will also be at the 3 million mark.Also by 2020 we wouldnt even need to dayton to make us 3 million, we would already be at 3 millio on our on passing cities such as st. louis.
