February 2Feb 2 I love Hamilton! (Exclamation point on purpose there). They need to get that gap on the Miami River bike trail finished already... I'd love to see some sort of CVB coordination for the whole Miami Valley all the way from Sidney to Hamilton and market it as its own region. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
February 2Feb 2 I think Hamilton is pulling away from the pack as the clear best midsized/mid-tier Ohio city. These pics prove that. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

In my mind I was comparing it to Lorain, Elyria, Mansfield, Lima, Warren, Springfield, Middleton. Though I'm not really familiar with the last two. It's an interesting question- how to tier out the smaller cities in Ohio.

Canton is in that zone between Dayton/Akron/Toledo/Youngstown and Hamilton/Lorain/Elyria/Mansfield/Lima/Springfield/Middletown/Sandusky.

February 3Feb 3 Author Canton and Youngstown always seemed to be in a higher tier by themselves: smaller than Akron/ Dayton/ Toledo, but larger than the other midsize cities (Hamilton/ Lorain/ Elyria/ Mansfield/ Lima/ Springfield/ Middletown/ Sandusky/add Warren). Both cities were >80,000 in the 2000 census. Now both have populations in the midsize range. I think you could make an argument for throwing Canton in with the other midsize cities at this point; it seems to have the same influence as these other cities, similar downtown/city scape size, part of regional media, etc. Youngstown, despite its immense troubles, still remains the center of a region with a mostly separate identity, media, etc. and has a larger-scaled downtown.

They could build off of the Great Miami Riverway program. https://www.greatmiamiriverway.com/
