Columbus probably has the best economy, but there is just something about Cincy.....maybe it's Party in the Park followed by some Gold Star Chili.

If you are talking Cincinnati Chili, I would put Skyline above Gold Star in my opinion.  
I was born in Cincinnati, grew up in Cleveland, and went to Ohio State and lived in Columbus for 3 years after I graduated as well.  If Cleveland didn't get so much lake effect snow, especially the east side where I grew up and my mom and stepdad still live (Pepper Pike), I would say Cleveland b/c of the sports, and the true urban environment of it, but b/c of that snow, I would go w/ Columbus.  Of course having my Buckeyes in Columbus puts that over the top for me.  But, it is the only city still growing in Ohio, and it seems to have the best economy.  If it wasn't so cold still there in the winter, I might have wanted to stay, but I needed to come south to escape the brutal Ohio winters.

I would have to choose, and it may come to no surprise, Cleveland. Im not even going to start rambling on the reasons why I would choose cleveland because I will never stop and well I need to get to class eventually so I'll leave it at this, Cleveland has great arts and culture, a great night life, many events year round for all kinds of people, some of the craziest fans out there, a great skyline, and future projects which will make this city even more amazing. I can't wait to go back later this week for spring break and actually get away from dayton for a while.

But it's "Great'n'Dayton!"

Cleveland.  The architecture, the lake, and the design of the city all appeal to me.

I haven't been to Cleveland, so I'm not as familiar with it as I am Columbus and Cincinnati, which I have visited. I'd go with Columbus. It seems to be more progressive than the other two, with strong population and economic growth. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the things that are going on there.

My vote is for Columbus.

Columbus is the only major city in Ohio still growing. Here's a link to a recent news story from the Dispatch:

Out of the three cities, I would definitely choose Columbus.  The LGBT community is extremely large and very friendly, much more so than many cities I frequent.  I luv the German Village and there is quite a bit to do here thanks to abundant retail and Ohio State being here..  

My only complaints is that the skyline is lacking in visual appeal and the city lays to 'flat.'
