While this is an interesting point, it is not related here. Medina is
actually a suburb on the outer ring of the Cleveland-Akron metropolitan
area, and examining the article at
http://www.ohio.com/communities/medinacounty/moreabout/docs/025804.htm I
happen to know that the area in question is upper-middle class. This is,
for all practical purposes, suburbia. There are no significant Amish
settlements for at least 50 miles, if not more.
