I never could quite figure that one out, either. BTW, I'd always heard that one was on a Trivial Pursuit card, but I myself have never seen that card so I suspect that's yet another one of those "urban legends". How about this one? "Lakewood is the finest place to live in Cuyahoga County." :-D

Well, not quite. I'll give you Detroit and Madison, but Lorain is in Cleveland, not Lakewood.

Rocky River Drive (Cleveland) becomes Riverside Drive in Lakewood. Also in Lakewood, Franklin Boulevard becomes Hilliard Road. McKinley Avenue becomes Larchmont. And Woodward Avenue becomes West 165th Street at the Lakewood/Cleveland border. In the old days, Clark Avenue on the West Side became Pershing Avenue on the East Side (around E. 49th and Broadway). But the Clark Avenue bridge that used to connect the two no longer exists as such.

Two that weren't mentioned: In "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael" (starring Winona Ryder as a teenage misfit), there's a brief shot of what was then Higbee's on Public Square in downtown Cleveland.... the movie took place in Clyde, Ohio, which I think was supposed to be a stand-in for Sandusky, and the Higbee's shot was when Winona Ryder's teacher (or guidance counselor or whoever, I forget) takes her into "the city" for a clothes-shopping expedition. "Edge of Seventeen" was about a gay teenager who's spending the summer working at Cedar Point while exploring his sexuality for the first time... there were interior shots of Legends, which was a gay bar that used to be located on Detroit at West 117th in Lakewood, although it was passed off as a Sandusky bar in the movie.
