According to one of our local politicians recently, Ohio is the Heart of it All, and Columbus is right in the middle. Hope I can still find someone to take me to LGA, but my son is trying to sell me EWR now that they have that monorail. By the way, Warren OH is quite a ways. From 157-174 miles, so I don't blame anyone in Warren from picking Cleveland or Pittsburgh. The snow's not as deep here, though.
