Cincinnati is a beautiful city; cheerful, thriving, and animated. I have not often seen a place that commends itself so favorably and pleasantly to a stranger at first glance as this does. -- Charles Dickens (American Notes)
Cleveland was the hub. If a song became popular in Cleveland, that [sic] would become a hit all over the country. -- Tony Bennett

Hayes
