| Let's say you were trying to contrive a setting for an upper-crust tale of deceit and scandal in Ohio. What town would you choose? Pepper Pike? Gates Mills? |

+1 and nobody is looking actively for books set in posh Ohio. Hillbilly elegies are what's on trend. Cleveland is too mockable. Detroit? The Grosse Pointes? Chicago maybe better. |

I like Chagrin Falls just based on the name. My parents have lived in Ohio for 30 years. My sibling for 15. In different metros. I live in a next-door state. I haven't heard of most of the 50 richest cities. Many have a tiny number of households so I assume they may be IYKYK mansion areas. Shaker Heights indeed has a large number of households. And I've heard of it and once had relatives living there. I think OP will have trouble finding a location that resonates nationally. OP, can you name any good neighborhoods in Austin? |
