What we are learning in the comments is that even if a destination seems to be a dud, it’s usually near something else to do. For Ypsi there were suggestions of Detroit and for Oxford that meant Cincinnati or Dayton.
Akron lives in the shadow of Cleveland, so, there’s that ;)
None of these are scientific, it’s just my opinion. I’d love to hear in the comments if you feel differently.
#4, Akron
As far as “commute time” Akron is about as good as it gets for Buffalo fans, really for anyone in the MAC outside of Kent who could bike there, even if their requirement truck got lost along the way.
