[Done_And_Done]

The green-freaks of today would never allow such a thing to go down.

[CelticBaller]

Cleveland's biggest failure was OP

Cleveland is the worst city in america. At least Detroit have a rich history musically with Motown and Eminen.

I was in Detroit a couple of weeks ago and the downtown was ****ed up. The city was practically deserted. The roads were incredibly bad. It was as it I was going around a city after it had been bombed. Most of the buildings were either falling down or were burnt.

It's amazing how everyone on this board claims NYC or Chicago or LA. You know damn well the majority of people posting here live in some podunk nothing town that no one has ever heard of with one stop light. These are the people always eager to put down cities that actually matter.

Cleveland matters enough to have a franchise in all three major sports. Few other cities that size can claim that.

Downtown Cleveland has come a long, long way.

What do you call the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street?

The nicest bed in Cleveland.

Hockey and soccer aren't major sports now? :biggums:

Why is it so difficult to believe that people live in big cities? They're big precisely because a ton of people live in them...Sure the people posting on ISH probably aren't living in expensive ass manhattan or beverly hills, but there's a lot of surrounding areas to the cities

If you buy balloons for a wedding or something they tell yu not to release them all up because they are bad for the enviornment, the birds might eat them after they pop, etc. Cleveland released a million at once?

A good pct of the Knicks and Net fans on this board who claim they are in NY have a perspective of the media, etc. that 's nothing like people in NY, plus also seem to know nothing on the area. It's kind of weird people claim to be from here but are not.

It's statistically ridiculous to assume all of the posters regularly beating up on Cleveland and Detroit live in larger cities.

The populations of the entire metropolitan areas of New York City, LA, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston is just under 65 million. So, that's not just the cities, but all of the surrounding areas as well.

The population of the United States is 314 million. That means the whole metropolitan areas of all the cities I listed make up under 21 percent of the country's population.

But, that's not all... we have a large international population of posters on this site too. So, we're really dealing with world population, not just the US population.

The idea that every poster who chimes in with the "Cleveland sucks" rhetoric is living in the center of the world is ridiculous. Most of America is podunk... the vast majority. It's also likely that the "Cleveland sucks" contingent are mostly people who have never spent significant time in this city or have never been here at all.

No one is forced to live in Cleveland. I choose to live here because I love it. For me, it's the perfect mix of a metropolitan setting (I can be in downtown in less than 15 minutes) and rural (huge MetroParks across NE Ohio that are really beautiful).

This sh!t just gets old.


Hockey and soccer aren't major sports now? :biggums:

I said "three major sports." In America, those are football, baseball and basketball, in that order.

I hope that answers your :biggums: s.

Funny thing is, my brother is a Columbia graduate. I spent a ton of time in NYC and I love it. I like to think of it as a second home, almost. I feel very comfortable there and was always baffled by the "mean New Yorkers" reputation. That city has been nothing but good to me and my family. I was seriously down yesterday when I heard about that explosion up on 117th Street (Columbia is 117th and Broadway, as I'm sure you know).

And, I can tell you... true Clevelanders are a hell of a lot more like New Yorkers than this lot running around on this site acting like their sh!t doesn't stink because they're Knicks fans. Like I said... almost certainly Podunk nobodies who have probably never even been to NYC.

Yeah, NY gets a bad rap in terms of people "being rude". It's not rude, it's just moving, especially in the busy parts of manhattan. But a lot of major cities are like that.

You'll see on this board people say things like "the Nets crowd is the loudest i've ever seen" or talk about empty MSG, or how dangerous it is in Brooklyn, things like that are just strange. Talk about the radio bashing on the Knicks or something when it's nonstop football/baseball talk most days. I barely can afford to live in Brooklyn it's become so high end, but so many times people on this board talk about it being so dangerous. My friend, a single mom japanese immigrant lives on Marcy avenue where Jay Z "used to sling rock". :lol It's different.

Should've attached a derelict house to those balloons.

Ever heard of this thing called rock n' roll? I highly doubt you've been to either city. Both are great and I've spent weeks and weeks in them. Lots of great restaurants and things to do.

Yes, safe to say -- per capita (and probably in general) -- the music scenes and food joints in Cleveland and Detroit eviscerate wherever he's from. Sheeple are just clueless. They hear jokes and see a few random pictures/videos of a place, so they just go with it.

I can't believe that stupid, overplayed "promotional tourist video" for Cleveland hasn't been posted yet. The sheeple really get a kick out of that one.

[DeuceWallaces]

I'd probably just been to Sandusky 8-10 times and a couple concerts at that big outdoor venue down on the river by the Q until my mid 20's when my buddy went to Case for law school. I spent a couple spring breaks there (lol). Good times to be had.

You can't really beat Detroit for rock outside of LA and NY. They have a TON of venues.

[gigantes]

i moved to cleve 3+ years ago.

well, it's okay. for sure it's no worse than philly or LA.

come at me if you disagree, you miserable bunch of sorry motherf-ckers. :)
