I'm amused at the geography implications of the groups here, for example Los Angeles isn't part of southern California, and northeast Ohio isn't part of Ohio.

@starshine the LA guys made a group without realizing the so cal group existed. it was part of the meet up add on.

@carcino yeah, I know the reasoning behind it. It's just a bit amusing to me that the two separate groups both exist, and everyone just kind of goes with it and tags both of them. Same for the Ohio groups.

@starshine The counties listed in the NE Ohio group are also a bit odd. Northeast, but they don't include Cleveland?

@eaglehooves well, at least in my personal mind-map of Ohio, Cleveland is directly north of Columbus, and both of 'em are smack in the middle of the state. Also, Akron isn't northeast, either, because it's halfway between Cleveland and Columbus.

@starshine Going to school in Cleveland, I was just curious. The counties they listed were all about right, a few stretching towards the center of the state, but none of the ones that bordered the lake were listed. Just seemed a bit unusual.

@eaglehooves Huh, you're right. Now that I look at it, they're definitely missing Geauga and Ashtabula, but they have Harrison. (Wtf? Harrison is totally east central.)

@starshine Your mindmap is quite skewed... Directly north of Cbus would be more like Sandusky. Cleveland-Akron-Canton-Youngstown region is NE (and Ashtabula up there in the corner thinkin' it's part of PA).

@rpb3000 Of course it is! But if you think of I-71 as straight north-south, it kind of makes sense. Keep in mind that I'm practically in Pennsylvania, so everything is at least an hour west. (By the way, Sandusky is right next to Cleveland.)

@starshine An hour and a half away is "right next to"? Are we in TX? (I'll give you Lorain, which is halfway between Cleveland and Sandusky and yet part of the Cleveland metro area... then things turn rural for that second half...)

@starshine Also of note, Youngstown is also an hour and a half away from Cleveland [TheMoreYouKnow(tm)]
Tuesday, 23-Aug-11 16:42:31 UTC from web-
@rpb3000 Exactly. *Everything* is an hour and a half away for me. Except Columbus, which is 3 hours, and Springfield, which is Too Far. :)

@starshine Just sayin', it only takes 4 hrs to drive E-W across the state. So when we're discussing dividing the state up into tidy little quadrants, Cleveland is very much in the north-central part of the northeast quadrant, whereas Sandusky straddles the line between northeast and northwest, causing a feedback loop that will destroy the universe.

@starshine I am mildly obsessed with them. I'd love to be a cartographer, but don't have the skills and my obsession with accuracy and perfection would mean that I'd never get anything done (I have drawn a few fantasy world maps before...)
