Don't think there's any place in Ohio as expensive as Darien.

True richest town in Ohio is no where near as rich Darien not even close Westport or Greenwich. Connecticut highest income towns blew Ohio out of water.

I'm wondering if I am the only one who is finding that this thread is bringing out the ugly thoughts, even if it is being done in jest.

All joking aside, there's a section of Baltimore that looks exactly like the Broad St area of New Britain. I can't remember the street(s) names in Baltimore, but I'm fairly certain it can be seen in one of John Waters' films. Pink Flamingo maybe ?

Actually somebody had posted maybe a week or two ago that Baltimore was Bridgeport on steroids. Laughed at it, but at the same time it's sadly true.

In any event the post was damn funny. :-) I have not been to Baltimore in many years and hope it has improved some since the last time I was there.

LOL!!! Thought you meant you couldn't reply to me anymore.

Newark is Bridgeport's bigger brother as well, but still younger than Baltimore.

That is how stereotypes generally work

There may be one here in the Cincinnati area. I think it is called Indian Hills. Since I am still relatively new to the area I don't know much about it. Heard a local radio talk show host mention that Indian Hills is the wealthiest city in OH and one of the richest in the nation. Don't really have the inclination right now to research this since I don't live there nor plan to any time in the future. LOL
