Bandit, isn't your city pretty much a suburb of Cincinnati?

I would never live in one, but I'd never live in a major city, either. I'm a small town kind of guy.

Bellevue is fairly working class though.

Granted, but  its still that dreaded suburb Bandit & BRTD hate so much.

Dictionary.com says...

sub·urb      /ˈsʌbɜrb/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[suhb-urb] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a district lying immediately outside a city or town, esp. a smaller residential community. 
2. the suburbs, the area composed of such districts. 
3. an outlying part. 

Basically, if you are in a city's metropolitian area but not in the city itself, then by definition that's the suburbs.

So rather than changing the definiton of the word to fit one's preconceived notion of what a suburb is (regardless of how accurate that notion may be in most cases), it would be more logical to acknowledge that not all suburbs are the same.
