As one of UrbanOhio's few advocates of Ohio's mid-size cities, I've always wanted to see UrbanOhio meets held in them. Knowing that many forumers are "big city folk," I've grouped two relatively close cities (if possible) that could be combined so as to attempt to make it worth your wild.

 

So...would you come?

 

    Still waiting for that Hamilton meet.

Of course!

Given enough time in advance to get off work, yes.

We already had a Youngstown-Warren meet - it was the year before they reworked Federal Plaza.

That doesn't mean we can't do it again. :-)

Stryker or Bust!

Bust, please.

yeah stryker-tontogany. unbeatable!

 

but seriously, for nw ohio a little tour along the maumee from toledo-waterville-grand rapids would be nice for forumers in the summer.

 

sorry ink for the off-topic.  :laugh:  certainly i could help with a lorain-elyria tour sometime.

I would attend one, but would need adequate time to prepare...like maybe 2 hours in advance ;-)

Assuming I don't already have any prior commitments, count me in.  These are easily some of my favorite cities to explore.

I've actually never been to Portsmouth or Ironton believe it or not. So I would be inclined to travel there for a meet.

I'd attend Mansfield's.  I was just there today in fact :)

I can just imagine all of us riding the carousel together.

This is looking promising then. Sometime at the end of March, maybe I'll throw out some summer dates for the top two from above.

Oh and if you're talking about you and ColDay taking photos from a hospital parking garage, that doesn't count.

LOL LOL LOL.  Unfortunately, today's visit was not so fun, it was for a funeral.  And it looks like they are preparing to tear down my childhood home.  Not a happy visit today, I'm glad it's over.

Should we vote for a top two or three, or just any we might be interested in attending?

^I'd prefer to vote for any you would attend, but I'm sure others will have a different strategy.

Scary!

What should I go to....... What's the closest to Ann Arbor

I guess it depends on where you are at.  :)

I'd be up for Steubenville/Wheeling and anything along the Ohio from E. Liverpool to Shadyside

Lima and Findlay would probably be closest.

So, is this going to actually turn out to be a meet? Or is this just a poll?

Based on the feedback so far, I'm hoping for a meet.

^---I'm hoping so as well. But I noticed Youngstown is getting a lot of the vote. Nothing against Youngstown and Warren, but that's a larger city (used to be just behind Dayton for many years) that I think most of us have been to more than once. I'm hoping for maybe a lesser visited city...something that most of us wouldn't visit very often? Kind of why I didn't vote for Hamilton, Middletown or Springfield since most of us have been there a hundred times...

You may want to add a "No" option to the question.  Otherwise rename the question "What Mid-size city meets would you attend?"

Given the ever rising gas prices, and my ever dwindling bank account...I would have to stay close (Hamilton/Middletown).  But I would be willing to make a trip up to NE Ohio as well.  I could then hit up Cleveland while I am there.

No. They are wanna-be's.

Cincinnatus, that comment makes me absolutely furious. I don't find it funny whatsoever.

 

But, whatever.

^ Uh-Oh ... Everyone watch out!

 

 

 

 

Ink ... c'mon man, you know me better than that. ;)

That's surprisingly funny if you read it a couple of times. Talk about contradictions! ;-)

He's saying the chance to spend a little time in Cleveland justifies any expense.  Seems perfectly logical to me.

Well he stated  "have to stay close to Hamilton/Middletown", but Cleveland's totally opposite of the state and the furthest any meet would be from Cincinnati which is why I found that post rather humorous.

 

N/M, I think this warm weather today got to me or something! :weird:

Spot on.

Don't mind me. My sense of humor is warped....but just slightly ;-)

I wouldn't mind hosting an Athens / Marietta or Southeast Ohio meet.

Athens has me intrigued. I would attend there.

Athens actually is a damn good choice (food options, walkable, near Hocking Hills, etc).

If we do Athens, it should be in addition to the mid-size meet; it's not a city that needs attention.
