I was just looking through old maps and stuff I saved from past years and thought I'd share it (if you are at all interested).  These really aren't photos so it doesn't belong in any of the photo sections and hey, they are cities and perhaps they lead to discussion.  Bah!

Never heard truer words in my life...it is good being UncleRando.

Great!

Cincy Map illustrating the impact of a proposed sex offender legislation:

 

A map highlighting the Glenway Avenue business district through Green Township (Cincy):

The two that struck me were the topography and the "5 Ohios" graphics, mainly because they both show that where I grew up is on the cusp of two regions. The "5 Ohios" shows that my hometown is the northernmost point of Appalachia (the northern "notch" of Columbiana County, formerly a township of Mahoning County).

 

And the topgraphy map shows the line of demarcation between the rolling hills and the Appalachian foothills. There's definitely a cultural difference as well.

Random maps- these I have.

 

Here are a couple I have posted over the years.  U clickz on dem 4 teh big verzhuns.

Nice, that's pretty cool.

great idea for a thread! the commuting patterns map was very interesting.

Yeah it annoys me that there's so many Cleveland sports fans in Columbus instead of Reds and Bengals fans. Cincinnati is closer to Columbus but a lot of Clevelanders moved to Columbus so what are you gonna do?

i know, but there would be no columbus (as we know it) without cleveland's rustbelt woes.

Cincinnati had rustbelt woes. They're just too conservative to leave the region. Or maybe they went to Indy lol

Cincinnati's rustbelt woes were a drop in the bucket compared to Cleveland's.

Alright mr. Cincinnati!

That curved white trail around Cincinnati is where the ancient Ohio river ran (before the ice age).  It is now the lower valley of the Little Miami, Norwood trench and the lower Mill Creek

Yes, they are to scale.

All these maps are great. 

 

However, the Plain Dealer's description of Southwestern Ohio is absurd:  "Southern accents and attitudes flavor this conservative region just across the Ohio River from Kentucky.  Although hurt by a stagnant economy, people here remain the state's most loyal Republicans."  I've been working in the South for nearly five years now, and the accents down here versus those from Southwestern Ohio aren't close to a match.  While the state's most loyal Republicans may be from SW Ohio, its most effective ones (at least regarding the nation political stage) are those Reagan and Bush Democrats who vote in the Northeast.  They are the ones who end up giving the White House to the GOP every time they win.

 

The description of of Northeastern Ohio is also ridiculous: "Unions, ethnic politics and black activism created Ohio's only liberal political tradition."  I guess Ohio was founded in 1932, not 1803.  Have the editors of The Plain Dealer never heard of the Civil War?  Salmon P. Chase and U.S. Grant accomplished more for liberal politics than most people in history, let alone Ohio (and to ignore consideration of the accomplishments of Canton's William McKinley in favor of some more recently active greasy Cleveland Democrats is also shameful).

1.) If you take someone that I knew from Mississippi/Tenn and bring them to Cincy, they feel like they're in New England, no joke.

 

2.) I do not notice an accent in Clevelanders. Notice, I said I. There'll be a difference between accents from let's say Florence, KY and Cleveland, but not West Chester/Mason and Cleveland. The same goes for Dayton.

This thread should be stickied. It would be great to consistently add onto ... and since this is an urban discussion board, I think it'd make since to.

I notice an accent in Cincinnati - it's the most subtle of twangy drawls; mind you most people I know from Cincy are from the Beechmont/New Richmond area so that may have something to do with my perception.

... yeah, that very well could be it. ;)

 

I don't know, I just feel like if there was a difference, wouldn't I be able to notice it?

People in Atlanta and Baton Rouge have consistently referred to me as a Yankee and/or Northerner.  In Baton Rouge I was actually told that I was one of those tight necked business folk from up North.  This is because I choose to wear a dress shirt and tie everyday (no tie on casual Friday).

 

I'm sorry, I just like to look good.  :wink2:

I actually never noticed a difference in accents in Florence as compared to Dayton. I lived there for 4 years and commuted 2 or 3 times per week back to Dayton for friends and family and couldn't notice any difference at all. Opinions?

Ohio MSA County List

 

 

 

I thought Dayton had picked up Darke County as part of the MSA?

does anyone have the link to the Plain Dealer's "Five Ohio's" story?

Greenville is its own Micropolitan Area.

Why are Cincinnati and Covington not in the same MSA or at least the same CMSA?

i would assume different because that are in different states?  someone please correct me

^they*

Why are Cincinnati and Covington not in the same MSA or at least the same CMSA?

They're in the same MSA; it's just that the map ColDay posted doesn't include Kentucky.

 

MSAs have changed from those shown on the map, though.  Springfield (Clark County), for example, is now a separate MSA from Dayton, though they're together in a broader CSA.  And maybe Preble County was added to Dayton?  I think they may have changed the way MSAs are defined.  It was a couple of years after the last census.

Yes, it is just an Ohio map. Youngstown and Toledo both have included areas in other states as well.

Here is the full MSA/CSA map for Ohio metropolitan areas:

^^ It looks like Cuyahoga County has made up for a lot of the losses. What is the net gain for the state?

This is why I personally believe that there are more residents of Cleveland/Cuyahoga county than the census states.  Off topic, yes?  But I do believe somethign is not right.  Something just doesn't add up.

It could be that in 2004, Columbus (and Dayton) already had a large turnout for the election so there wouldn't be a need for "a lot of new registered voters."

One has to register to vote so how could they not be new registrations?

^^ I just thought he was thinking the graph was depicting the net difference OF the new registered voters from 2004, instead of the total number.

 

Either way, how is Franklin county down?

My guess is that a lot of OSU kids have decided to register in their home counties this time around.  I would have no way of confirming that, though.

Whoops, read it wrong.
