I am amazed at the talented people that are here in this area but don't stand up for themselves. More energy has to be spent on getting people to realize how great this area is and how great the people are! Thanks again I loved it!

I guess I've been a little oblivious to state marketing as I haven't been in the market to consider a different region.<br/><br/>I think the Iowa campaign caught my attention because it promoted the same aspects of life I value in Minnesota<br/><br/>I'll have to keep my eyes open for other campaigns for comparison! Chris, great post – I enjoyed the viewpoint. I guess I’ve been a little oblivious to state marketing as I haven’t been in the market to consider a different region.

I think the Iowa campaign caught my attention because it promoted the same aspects of life I value in Minnesota

I’ll have to keep my eyes open for other campaigns for comparison!

They hesitate to exaggerate in case they come up short. Conservative. <br/><br/>I find that the mentality of the folks from Youngstown is different from Akron.

Very, very different mentality. As a group, I would characterize the people of Northeast Ohio as “realists”, not exactly pessimists, but certainly not overly optimistic.

I find that the mentality of the folks from Youngstown is different from Akron. The atmospher in Akron feels to me like “roll up your sleeves and let’s get going.”

The atmosphere in Youngstown feels more like a victim “they/he did this to us/me.”

It’s hard for me to compare the two cities. Very, very different mentality.

While I was impressed with many things - when I asked folks what they thought of their economic future...many were concerned about it. Maybe I was asking the wrong people, but I got a lot of "Look what happened to Youngstown."<br/><br/>I did love Akron while I was there (stayed about a week) and think it would be a great place to live.

I did love Akron while I was there (stayed about a week) and think it would be a great place to live.
