About Ohio

This edition covers the real Ohio outside Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Youngstown, which already have their own dedicated coverage. Dayton, spanning Montgomery and Greene counties, is where the Wright brothers built their first working aircraft -- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the Air Force's largest research and acquisition installations, still anchors a real aerospace-research economy there. Toledo, in Lucas County, built its economy on glass manufacturing (Owens-Illinois, Owens Corning, Libbey) and Jeep production, and remains a real Great Lakes port. Kent, in Portage County, anchors Kent State University just outside Cleveland's own edition. None of these are Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Youngstown, and this edition doesn't treat them as smaller versions of any of the four.
