My personal opinion is that Cincinnati should simply go ahead and annex Norwood and get it over with. I've never understood the concept of a small town being completely surrounded by a large city.

If you've narrowed your choices down to Norwood and Chillicothe, then the obvious choice is to simply go with Chillicothe. But if you want another personal opinion, check out Oxford instead.
To say that cincinnati should 'annex' norwood is ridiculous. Norwood is a totally separate city to cincinnati. Its own laws, taxes, school systems... everything.

Exactly, and its no different from Cincy. Norwood having its own laws, taxes, police force etc. is pointless (same with the thousands of other suburbs in Hamilton County) If Cincinnati incorporated Norwood, St. Bernard, Elmwood and every other 'island' in the city we'd have a population upwards of 400,000

Ohio has very favorable annexation laws ("hostile annexations" of a place like Norwood are possible) but Cincinnati has traditionally not been an aggressive annexer like Columbus and some other towns.

Cleveland is just like Cincy, and really does not annex its suburbs. I like that.
