[quote=Jake1256;1137890]close cities, but Detroit would take the architecture and skyscraper win pretty easily. in entertainment venue, Detroit has the Fox theatre, Cleveland has the State theatre, but Detroit has one of those and about five more.
Umm actually Cleveland wins in entertainment because it has Playhouse square which is the nation's largest preforming arts center only next to Broadway.

Correct, Cleveland has about 5 "Fox Theaters" in Playhouse Square (Downtown): PlayhouseSquare :: Theaters

Cleveland is very unique because Cleveland has the nicest people you will ever see. And in Cleveland, no one cares if you're from the ghetto or from a millionaire neighborhood. If you don't believe me, then check out Bratenahl. Bratenahl is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Cleveland that is right on the lake and has multi-million dollar mansions. Do you know what's directly across the freeway from it? The ghetto.

It's true, Cleveland does have some of the nicest, most genuine people anywhere. It's a beautiful balance between the cold, reserved Midwest, and the boisterous, rude East Coast. Actually, it probably has a lot to do with the Eastern European roots of many of its residents. The culture in Eastern Europe is generally very warm, welcoming, and friendly. The Germans and Scandinavians who settled in the midwest tend to be more reserved and cold, and the Italians who settled on the East Coast tend to be more boisterous.

That sounds just like Grosse Pointe/Detroit.

Detroit has quite a few wealth enclaves that are directly adjacent to poorer/decaying neighborhoods.

Boston Edison. Palmer Woods. Indian Village. Rosedale Park. None separated by freeways. Heck, Palmer Woods is really the only one that is built in a way that limits access into the neighborhood (even then, it's access points are directed towards poorer neighborhoods). The rest of them are more or less integrated into the city grid.

Not really sure what that has to do with people being nice to each other though.

Yeah Detroit has a better skyline. Especially with the abandoned skyscrapers that they have.

Actually very few empty skyscrapers in Detroit nowadays, and the ones that do remain empty have a very good chance of being renovated within the next five years with all the interest and activity that has been taking place DT recently.
