What do you love/hate about Cleveland?
Just curious for your imput. Besides, all these: what neighborhood, suburb should I live in, that dominate, tend to be boring. Not to be rude, but I think a lot of such posters would be better served by contacting local housing agencies, chambers of commerce and the like rather than a website like this... but that's me.

What I hate about Cleveland is that, during the 40 years I have lived in Ohio, they still remain clueless about how to turn the amazing natural resources (the lakefront) into what it could be. Heck, all they need to do is COPY Chicago or Milwaukee, but they can't even do that.
They have a few things like the Rock Hall (although, they can't get any famous people to actually go there), the museums etc., but that's about it.

I like all the potential Cleveland has and the things its does have like world class museums, the lake, The Cleveland Clinic, Cedar Point as well as its proximity to NYC and Chicago and a few other cities.
Don't like: Negative attitudes from many of its residents. I've observed many to be negative just cause thats just what there used to doing.
New projects seem to take forever and a day to get off the ground.
I will say, and keep saying that the area from University circle to downtown to the Flats, to the Lake is about to explode with all the new construction planned. We'll get our 24-hour city yet. By 2010 this should be realized and hopefully folks will have a better opinion of the place.

Cleveland is the one place I've lived where I felt comfortable almost immediately. My kind of people.  |

LOVE: the fact Cleveland's a medium-sized metro area that has so much of what the giants (NYC, Chicago, Philly) have: great museums, public library, quality mass transit, many quality walking districts/mixed use areas (a book was published a few years called "Car Free in Cleveland" and despite some incredulous looks, it can be (and is) done here); diverse quality suburbs -- including many old-line/old money burbs, and a strong intellectual bases.
HATE: a negative attitude of Clevelanders toward their city. I often find visitors who are more positive about the City than natives -- if I had a nickel for every Cleveland person (esp suburbanite) who I've heard, over the years, say "... there's nothing to do here") I'd be friggin' rich.
I also hate our lakefront (at least from downtown east to Bratenahl -- Edgewater west thru the Lakewood Gold Coast is great) which, very, very slowly, pols are finally starting to address. Putting big, ugly Browns Stadium on it wasn't what I had in mind...

I have friends here in Maryland that are so addicted to it that they keep me up to date on how many bottles they have left in the pantry so I can plan a trip to Ohio accordingly. |

Lived in Cleveland metro area for over 30 years. Lived in Cleveland proper 14. Moved away 2 years ago to get a job.
Loved. Good suburbs. Good entertainment options for mid sized city. Restaraunts. - Danny Boys etc. ************ROCKY RIVER METROPARKS.*********** Affordability.
Hated. Dismal economy. You may not see it until you try to get work in other areas and find how relatively easy it is. City of Cleveland cops have got to be the laziest on the planet. City of Cleveland services declined BADLY after Michael White left.
