 When visiting ''or even thinking of'' Cleveland, the integration of the economies, communities, media coverage, culture and arts is extraordinarily interwoven with all of NEO (as can be proven by analyzing commute patterns among the counties). Unlike the vast majority of large US cities that have grown through annexation of outlying areas in their central counties and beyond (e.g., Chicago or Columbus), the City of Cleveland proper only encompasses 1/3 of [[Cuyahoga County]], which has nearly 60 municipalities. It would be a mistake, frequently made, to consider the City of Cleveland as a point of direct comparison with other major US Cities. NEO simply isn't structured like most US metropolitan regions, in part, because of its rich history of individual centers of industry in the 1800s merging together into one super-metropolis throughout the 1900s.
-Accordingly, residents throughout Cuyahoga County and surrounding counties most often proudly consider themselves to be "Clevelanders" and "Northeastern Ohioans" (even though they may also be "Akronites" or "Cantonians"). The result is an incredibly rich mosaic of ethnic urban neighborhoods and diverse suburban environments that offers the flavor (and food) of America and the world.  Thus, many of the visitor attractions that one would associate with Cleveland and/or its surrounding environs (i.e., NEO), would normally be referred to as "Cleveland".
+Although Cleveland is the largest city in the region, the other large cities in Northeast Ohio like Akron, Youngstown, Canton, and Warren, all have their own distinct identities. It might not go over well, for example, to tell someone in Akron that their city is "part of the Cleveland area", even if it is shown that way in some official tourism campaigns or Census and demographic maps.

-'''Northeast [[Ohio]]''' ("NEO") [http://www.travelcleveland.com/], [[United States|USA]], sometimes referred to as "Cleveland+", is usually defined as the 13-county region, with a population of more than 4 million (according to 2000 US Census Bureau), surrounding the Greater [[Cleveland (Ohio)|Cleveland]] Area and including the mid-sized cities of [[Akron]], [[Canton (Ohio)|Canton]] and [[Youngstown]]. The Combined Statistical Area of Cleveland-Akron-Elyria, with a population of 3 million, is the 14th largest Combined Metropolitan Area in the [[United States]]. The metropolitan hub of the region, [[Greater Cleveland]], is the five-county Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor MSA accounting for nearly 50% of the NEO population.
