We hear the jokes, yes, but

Cleveland:

-Has a metro
-Has a good BRT system
-Has a great history of manufacturing and industry
-Never fully got rid of their streetcars and converted the last two lines to light rail
-Has what looks to be pretty affordable housing
-Has this dope-ass arcade and many other cool architectural features

Cleveland was once a very large industrial powerhouse, and capitalist disinvestment in the city has devastated some parts of it to a huge degree. That cannot be overlooked. But the city has now become a smaller city with big-city features and history. Big shoutout to Cleveland! Go check out https://hexbear.net/c/[email protected] for more Cleveland content.

  • +500' above sea level
  • next to the largest source of fresh water in the world

You will respect Cleveland in the coming years.

One of my favorite fun facts is that Cleveland was founded as part of Connecticut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland#Establishment

Well maybe not so fun that they were setting up settlements that far west, but interesting anyway

I'm a proud af Clevelander. You are right on all counts. What people don't know is that Cleveland is a city of great, characterful neighborhoods and inner ring suburbs.
