    I scrolled all the way through 18 pages with only one mention of Cincinnati, Ohio. If one mentions George Clooney you have to mention Jerry Springer, our infamous Boy Mayor!

    We are also a part of the Underground Railroad tour that takes in many places along the Beautiful Ohio River and home of the National Underground Railroad Museum.

    We also have Procter and Gamble, which gave us Ivory soap, as well as Pampers! The Powell Crosley family gave us WLW radio and Crosley Square.

    And of course we are home of the Cincinnati Red and Bengals and other organizations of national acclaim. Home of the Kroger grocery chain.

    And, last but not least, I don't want to forget
    the grand dame of baseball, Marge Schott.

    just to name a few!

    O, my goodness! I just typed this and did not realize the complete irony of writing these two things on the same post until I read it over, looking for typos. Seriously. :oops:
    Yeah for Brooklyn, I was born and raised there. It's only part of New York City but has about 3.5 million people living there.

    Chippewa Falls, WI is known for Leinenkugels's Beer and Mason Shoes. Much earlier known for the lumber mills. A few years ago was known for the purist water in the world. I wish that was still true.

    Duluth is known for being at the head of Lake Superior and the western most seawater port of the St. Lawrence River/seaway. The north shore of Lake Superior is beautiful and rugged.
