I go there for the theme parks every once in a blue moon and literally nothing else. I’ve never seen an interesting looking town when driving through. It’s like every town is a stop outside a bigger city that isn’t there. Even the “big” cities never really feel bigger than a typical random American town.
Of course when you’re actually there it’s not that exaggerated, but this is the vibe I get from the state. But it’s not like any of the surrounding states have wildly positive reputations to compare against. So at the end of the day, it’s just a very unremarkable state with not much to do. There are worse reputations.
That’s the Cuyahoga River, that runs through Cleveland, on the Lake Erie coast. It last burned in the 70s, but it has improved greatly, due to the closing of many of the steel factories that used to be upriver.

Cincinnati is “the medium place.”
afaik the original “they stole the porch” meme is from cincinnati too, detroit just stole it
I visited Cincinnati many years ago for work and found it to be a surprisingly beautiful hilly city with some interesting views in spots.
Didn’t the river there catch on fire? More than once?
