and conversely, cleveland is thee eastern leaning midwestern city (ie., geography, the western reserve, the traffic circle layout of the tiny ne ohio farm towns, etc.).
the cleve is closely related to pittburgh and buffalo geographically and in their shared rust belt business hertitage, so even tho the three are such very different places, they are also rather tied up together.
personally i think the lakefront-related similarity of cleveland-erie-buffalo is more obvious today, but those old cleve-youngstown-pitts industrial heritage ties remain a strong bond too.
