Dayton+Cincinnati=Good?

[Dayton Sux]

One of the ironic things about these overlapping metro areas is how they overlap.

For example Cincinnati magazine does this annual look at the most desirable or fastest growing suburbs (forget exactly what term they use), and Springboro sometimes shows up on this list.

Now, most folks here in the Dayton area would consider Springboro a suburb of Dayton, but since its in Warren County, part of Cicnys metro area, it is, apparently, considered by Cincinnati Magazine as one of the Cincy suburbs.

Reading that was funny, though...Springboro one the most desirable suburbs of Cincinnati? Really?

Springboro is about as "Dayton" as it gets.

Just to give you an idea. Monroe is closer to Dayton than it is to Cincinnati. Yet it's not considered a Dayton suburb. Middletown and Franklin as well.

In fact, once you get past Deland and Deltona, it is very rural and doesn't start to be built back up until you reach Daytona's suburb of Port Orange. Interesting enough, I have family in Volusia County in Daytona Beach Shores and flew into Orlando back in August because I knew the airport (from actually living there for a few years) and just drove to Daytona Beach. When I flew back north I flew out of Daytona's international airport because it was more convenient.


And what do the Browns have to do with Dayton and Cincinnati?

Exactly.

There are a lot of Browns and Steelers fans spread all over the region, but Dayton is predominantly Bengals fans and it's not close. That doesn't mean there aren't a lot of Browns and Steelers and even Bears and Packers fans though. Those teams have been around a lot longer than the Bengals and a lot of people grew up in families that supported those teams. There are plenty of ex-NE Ohio people who live in SW Ohio too.

My opinion:

Franklin, Carlisle, Springboro, Waynesville - solidly considered Dayton burbs or satellites.

Middletown - considered its own city. More "Cincinnati" than "Dayton" if push comes to shove and someone wants to attach Middletown to a major regional center.

Anything south of Middletown - Trenton, Monroe, and on south - Cincinnati satellites.

Lebanon and on south - firmly in the Cincinnati gravitational field.

I base most of this on the local newspapers that people (used to) get.
