That's a shame, too. Ohio would be a much cooler place if they did!   |

I think Cincy should stay, but we should give Toledo to Michigan.

↑↑↑ Hey, no problem SC! Sure sucked for Wisconsin though, didn't it 
BTW...although it may be a tad off-topic I just have to say it: your location, Charleston SC, is one of the most beautiful, charming historic towns I've ever seen! (and coming as I do from Lancaster, I know & love my historic towns) |

Thanks, I love living here. I grew up (for 20 years) in the historical little town (actually, a village) of Waterville, OH on the Maumee River and now live (for 28 years) in the historical big town/small city of Charleston, SC. I too love history and old homes so have been able to find the best of two worlds.
Next move: I bought 10 acres up in SW VA outside another historical town called Abingdon, where I plan to have a log home built after I retire in about 8 more years. |

Haha! Could be. I remember hearing alot about the Western Reserve when I lived up there, going to school. 'Splains why so many of those smaller towns up there feel so New England-y
One thing I did not realize was that CWRU, which alot of folks casually call "Case Western", was actually a merger of two separate schools: Case College and Western Reserve University. It's almost like they should use a hyphen or a "/" in there to avoid confusion |
