I PLAN TO RELOCATE TO OHIO WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. I NEED SOME ADVICE ON THE BEST MEDIUM SIZED, AFFORDABLE CITIES THERE. I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, SINGLE MOTHER THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE IN A DIVERSE CITY WITH A GOOD SCHOOL SYSTEM AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (cars do break down). MICHIGAN IS GOING NOWHERE FAST AND I WOULD JUST LOVE A CHANGE AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. PLEASE REPLY ANY INFO THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ME.

We made the move from Brownstown, MI to Findlay about 18 months ago. And I always contend that Toledo/FIndlay is just really southern MI.

We've really liked it and the schools are good.

Unfortunately there is not a lot of diversity that I have found. If you'd like more info, I'd be happy to provide more!

Well Columbus and Cincinnati are both very progressive. If you head up to Akron/Canton, that is an area that is medium sized that is experiencing growth.

Columbus was voted one of the best cities in the nation for african americans to live in. Columbus has a growing and prosperous economy. Columbus ranks in the top 10 based fortune 500 companies. Nationwide, Huntington Bank, Abercrombie and Fitch, Victoria's Secret, Wendys, and some of the top ranked medical facilites in the nation, including Grant Medical Center. Columbus has city neighborhoods like Short North, Victorian Village, German Village, and the Arena District downtown. Lots of development happening in the city.

Cincinnati is also home to the 10 cities per fortune based 500 companies. Procter and Gamble, Macy's, Fifth Third Bank, Kroger, Great American Insurance, and more. Home to a diverse and growing economy. Billions of development in downtown. Construction cranes dot Cincinnati's eastern skyline. Great city neighborhoods and suburbs. I don't know if you are looking for suburbs or living in the city. But both Columbus and Cincinnati have top qualities in both.

Don't forget about Akron/Canton, and also Cleveland. Cleveland is a fun city that has some of the best cultural ammenities in the Midwest.
