About the size thing…
I mentioned his before but no one seemed to listen..
If your looking at population only, then yes, Columbus is bigger than Cleveland. Also, I would hope most would age that you must include the NEAR suburbs of a city when considering its size. Im sure not all on you live in the City of Columbus, the same can be said of Clevelanders. This would be called Cleveland proper, or Columbus proper as the case may be. Columbus lacks any large suburbs, while Cleveland has many.
(All stats according to 03 US census)
The City of Columbus-728,432 –Up from 560,000 in 1980
The City of Cleveland-461,324-Down from 580,000 in 1980
Now take in to the effect the NEAR suburbs, or the Metropolitan area…
Columbus-1,674,589
Cleveland-2,841,155
That’s 1.2 Mill more than the Columbus Metro area, and 1.2 Mill you guys simply can not ignore.
And don’t forget-Akron is only 20 Minutes away, hell, that’s almost a suburb!
For shits and giggles…
Huston-2,009,690
Huston Metro-5,075,733
They are big, but barely bigger than the Cleve/Columbus tag team, and throw in the rowdy Akron bunch (212,215) And they be fucked.
Also consider than 1/3 of Texans are too busy cow tippin, ridding beat up 4x4’s or still tippin on 4-4’s to care about racing.
And the whole City of Huston smells like a Cow's ass! Every time I have been there its the same god forsaken smell. Anyone who has been there can verify that.
Fuck Huston racing. A representative of Cleveland's scene will be down there breaking hearts this spring as it is.
