@YJ - As abge points out, FK and I were willing to do this and it's kind of hard to set this kind of thing up remotely. I could have said OK to Columbus, Louisville, or Indianapolis, but I don't think those would have made much difference.
I won't go into why Cincinnati isn't a silly place, but I would ask what the closest city to you is and how close is it. Cause unless you say LA, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, or some other really big place, I'll call where you live "silly". Cincinnati is the 27th largest MSA in the country. 62nd largest city, but 27th MSA because we are all about the urban sprawl (more people live in the suburbs than in Cincinnati city limits). In fact, we are the largest MSA in Ohio and only a few midwestern MSAs are bigger (Chicago, St Louis, and arguably Pittsburgh and Detroit if you consider them Midwestern MSAs). More than 2 million people live in Greater Cincinnati. We have a wordl reknowned symphony, opera and pops which, until his passing, was led by Erich Kunzel, who also conducted the National Symphony Orchestra at the same time. We have a world class music hall (Cincinnati Music Hall), two stadiums (Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium) to house our MLB and NFL teams, world class Art Museum and Natural History Museum, and one of the top zoos in the country. Yeah, we are really silly.
