It's more similar with other Great Lakes post industrial cities such as Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Erie, Buffalo than it is to say Omaha.
I think if Detroit and Cleveland stepped up their game you'd have a nice lil cluster right there similar to Bos Wash... Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Toronto instead of Boston, NYC, Philly, DC

Cleveland is mid-west all the way. Who can forget Drew Carey? The guy screams bowling and beer.

If Buffalo and Detroit had a kid, it would probably be Cleveland.

Cleveland is "Far East", why not.

You can split Midwest/Great Lakes cities into three categories:

1) Minneapolis, Des Moines, Madison, Omaha, Kansas City, Fargo

2) Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Duluth, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo

3) St Louis, Springfield IL, Cincinati, Columbus, Dayton

A city in one category feels quite different than cities in the other two but they're all midwestern (except Buffalo but it's still similar to the cities in its category)

Personally the eastern half of Ohio feels like the north east to me. Rural and urban it seems to have more in common with NY and PA than Indiana and beyond.

To me Ohio is part of both the Mid-west and the North-east. Cleveland being a north-eastern city. But it just depends on how you view Ohio as a whole.

Cleveland is in the midwest, as is the entire state of Ohio. I feel more east in the state of Michigan than I do in Ohio. Cleveland just has a lot of coast like most large eastern cities as opposed to midwest cities your, excluding Chicago and Milwaukee. Though the state of Michigan has tons of coast than any eastern state and most if not all states in the USA, but do not have a large city that reside near it.

Being that I'm from the east, anywhere west of western PA is considered midwest to me. Ohio isn't the most midwest as you can get, but Cleveland does kind of have the midwestern feel to it, IMHO. Ohio is also considered a midwestern state, so I guess that's the official classification of Cleveland. I think that Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin should have their own region called Great Lakes, since midwest can be a broad term...

Isn't the Rust Belt considered Midwest?

This thread is amusing to me b/c on the Pittsburgh forum, there are frequently threads about: Is Pittsburgh and eastern or midwestern city?
