Just a fact that must have something to do with being in the middle....between Cleveland- Cincinnati Shouldn't be however, Is the Capital of Ohio- has a good Zoo, I-70 runs thru it.......thats about it..on second thought........
Columbus is also the largest city (not metro) in the state, having overtaken Cincy & Cleveland a few censuses ago.
I read that, all the way through this time. It is apparent they are talking about NE Jefferson County. The post office they reference is in Lakewood (Belmar). The hospital (Lutheran) is in Wheat Ridge. It's quite confusing. It also seems new to me, though I don't look at the Colorado city page very often, I never saw it till last night when it came up in this thread. Maybe a mod can clarify?
Mesa simply cannot be considered a stand-alone city. It's just one of many sprawling tracts, along with Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Queen Creek, and Apache Junction of the "east valley" of the Phoenix metro area, which all run into each other. While downtown Mesa does have a distinct identity, being a Mormon pioneer settlement, it is a tiny area of Mesa as a whole-- a 400,000+ people city, with no identity of its own.
Also listed on CD is Central Jefferson (23, 952) and S Jefferson (22,914) in Jefferson County. Obviously, these numbers do not add up.
They may have gotten that figure from total urban or incorporated areas and have unincorporated or rural areas as a seperate figure. northeast jefferson county is mainly suburbs of Denver and the further west and south you go the less urban it gets. This is purely speculation though..
What are some cities that you dont ever hear about, or dont get enough credit.
Only the cities that deserve it the most, and hardly get it at all:
HOUSTON (all the big city/worldly ammenities, none of the respect...the ugly duckling)
DALLAS (all the business and all the image, but generally ignored)
SAN ANTONIO (quite possibly the most humble and mild city in the world with a population over a million...completely unique, full of character, dense and intimate downtown)
All three of these cities are just as eligible and valid as the more popular towns, but they get very little shine. Hmmmm, maybe it has something to do with their state?

Houston is a great city! Heck, all three are. I was really blown away when I went to Houston. When I came back, and told people that I had been to the fourth largest city in the nation, they thought I was lying. Houston is very forgotten, and just because it is in Texas doesn't mean that it is bad. If I got to choose the neighborhood, I would retire there, no problem.
The problem with Columbus is that when you are in Ohio, it's midstate going yap yap yap all the time. Drove down there twice from Akron/Cleveland in 2005 - not worth the trip! Attention whores! They get a couple of large shopping malls and they never let you forget it. WHO CARES. Ahem.
Grand Rapids is worth the visit. You can keep forgetting about Dayton. Dayton wants to forget itself. Lansing is a great place - it gots a Big Boy, and gas stations, too.
Rolled through Decatur (Illinois) in the daytime yesterday. I didn't stop at the KMart, so I can't give a review of it.
The largest metro in the US you never hear about is Jacksonville, but it sounds like Florida wishes it would go away. No how! Jacksonville is the REAL Florida. Tampa has two exhausts and a spoiler on the trailer ... it thinks it's "all that."
I was extremely bored in class last week, so I made a list of all 48 lower states by region, skipping Georgia and Utah until I had more time to think. But I got Delaware this time, and I was all over Missouri and West Virginia.
At one time, I could tell you all the German states and Japanese prefectures without much trouble. I'm slipping, but you actually don't need to know to get a PhD.
