When people ask me about Ohio, I always whole-hartedly recommend Cincinnati.

But then you added "stuff to do within a reasonable driving distance," and I think that tips the scales in favor of Cleveland.

And if you want to leave the car at home, you can take Amtrak from Cleveland to New York, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C.

I still love Cincinnati, but until international flying gets back in order, it's not an ideal starting point for adventure.

I mean, you can take the Amtrak from Cleveland to Chicago... but it leaves at like 3:30 AM which is why I never take Amtrak to Cleveland to visit my family from Chicago.

Isn't Cincinnati excessively humid? On the other hand I hear the winters are cold but they lift pretty quick and don't linger on.

Humid, yes. Excessively so? Not compared to a lot of other places in America. Houston. Louisiana. Florida. Coastal Carolinas. I guess it depends on how well your particular body handles humidity.

Cincinnati has fairly mild winters compared with the rest of Ohio. A meteorologist there explained it to me once. I think something about being in a valley, and the rivers (Ohio and Little Miami) moderate things a bit.

He said in weather circles, it's sometimes called "the banana belt of Ohio."
