 The old stand-by around Akron, Oh for knowing who is the import,
 are both Akron, and Medina.
 Some just have no clue on Akron, until their once told, but hearing
 Medina pronounced Med-EEE-na is a sure give-a-way.
 Around here, it's a long "i" so Muh-DIE-na is local correct.

 Fun, is telling the visiting New Englanders that Wooster is pronounced
 Wor-chest-er ! ( which, of course, it is not )
