I was reading an article the other day about Akron Ohio, a town I have spent a lot of time in. I worked there for nearly 2 years. Some of the people I love the most on this planet live there! It is a town that can be rough (indeed, it does have a bit of a reputation) but it does have a lot of history and character.
Anyway, the article called Akron "the bonus round of Cleveland". This may have been one of the nicer things I have heard about Akron. This was the nicest description of Akron I have ever heard when being compared to Cleveland.
BUT, I like that phrase..... describing a small town near a large town as a "bonus round."
I like the whole thought one town being a bonus for another one. I know I have planned trips thinking, "If I can see all of the things here I want to see, I might be able to fit this in."
What other cities have a "bonus round" relationship to another city? Nashville/Franklin, Atlanta/Marietta, Cincinnati/Florence, are a few that I think might meet that description.
I can think of others, but I can't think of a more appropriate "bonus town" relationship than Akron and Cleveland.
