I agree, and the difference also being not only does Akron have its own institutions but it also has a Canton that it is closer related to than Cleveland. Also Northeast Ohio is very unique in that there is not a centrally dominated city, it is mostly a contiguous Region with 3 cities of size dominating their own territories. I lived in the Akron area for over forty years and the citizens there identify themselves from Akron and no other city. Northeast Ohio is more like the New England region (Boston, Providence, Manchester etc) but not like Dallas-Fort Worth or Minneapolis-St.Paul.
