There are all kinds of people everywhere. I know a few New Yorkers and I like the ones I know. I know lots of people in Ohio that I like, but I also know people in Ohio who are not wonderful. Regionalism is beyond silly. It is ridiculous.
And now, in a nod to my German Cincinnati roots, I hope you Villages regionalists will repeat after me.......
"Ich bin ein Villager." ....uh oh, I hope I did not just say that I am a jelly donut.

I was hoping you recognized my mocking sarcasm of the constant
'regional arrogance/superiority'...that we seem to always see from certain people.
Some folks just love to try and make proclamations, that ALL folks from one area are great...and vice versa.
It just gets old, so a little nose tweaking...seemed to be in order.
In actuality, while I found downtown Cincinnati fairly bland in its architecture...I did like the little square area when a group set up for a free concert at lunch.
