Now if you are considering Youngstown, Cincy Toldeo and Dayton as major cities then I would agree with the original statement. But I would disagree with the underlying premise that these cities are in any way major again other than to those who live near them.

Say what? Cincinnati and Youngstown...same...level? Let's get something
perfectly clear:
Cincinnati is a major American city.
Columbus is a major American city.
Minneapolis is a major American city.
Pittsburgh is a major American city.
Milwaukee is a major American city.
Indianapolis is a major American city.
Dayton, Grand Rapids, and Toledo are regional centers.
Detroit and Chicago are global cities. That doesn't negate the other cities for being "major," which they are.
