Re: “small CITY. Not a town..”
acramento county is referred to as a "cow town" (and a whole lot worse, but that's another story) by Californians including Sacramentans, and it comes in at close to 2x Cincinnati county. I think Sacramentans are in on the joke.

I agree with you about the mountain ranges. Having lived at the base of both the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada mountains, I'll take the Rockies! (But you know what? Mount Rainier outside Seattle is more impressive to look at than either one, unless maybe you're looking up from Yosemite Valley!)

A better description might be

small CITY. Not a town..

It is incorporated as the city of Middletown, Ohio

51,000 people is a lot of people.

The Sierra Nevada range is impressive but not nearly as much as The Rockies. I spent a few weeks in Colorado Springs one year on business. I can't remember the name of the hotel resort but it was right at the base of the Rockies. Rugged, sheer faces and snow capped peaks.
They were impressive.. The oversized hills we call the Appalachians are just that, large rounded hills .

But the Rockies, especially the Canadian Rockies are just awe inspiring..
The Sierra range is no slouch. I just do not believe they are as quite as huge as the Rockies or Canadian Rockies.

Anyway, those mountain ranges are ALL wondrous to see up close. I like them all....
