Spoiler, the top 3 on this list are:

Spoiler
1. The Met
2. The Cleveland Museum of Art
3. The Art Institute of Chicago


I know these rankings don’t mean much, but it’s still cool to see the CMA get some much deserved recognition.

Wow!

The only problem is that list likely was written by a single person with not much expertise or knowledge.

E.g., Greenfield Village is equated with The Henry Ford. GV is just a part of THF, which is dominated by a huge museum which houses some of the artifacts described, as well as Rosa Parks' bus, which visitors can walk through, and much more. Only GV is an outdoor museum, yet largely composed of historic buildings, often homes of (once) famous Americans, which visitors walk through.

No Philadelphia Museum of Art? Ridiculous list. I've read the list at least four times not believing anyone would omit the Philadelphia Museum of Art from such a list.

None of the great Smithsonian history museums. Pathetic. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and no Longwood Gardens???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwood_Gardens

Thinking about the DuPonts, what about Winterthur?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter...en_and_Library

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ranked fifth? Likely visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, especially foreigners and the growing number of Americans with little interest in baseball, likely would enjoy it more than the National Baseball HOF and Museum. What about the Pro Football HOF in Canton, let alone the Naismith Memorial Basketball HOF in Springfield, MA, which celebrates an international sport and has international inductees (Mirko Novosel anyone, likely a sports hero for some Clevelanders)?

What the list does say to me, however, is that likely the author visited the Cleveland Museum of Art and was duly impressed, and that the author was a major baseball fan!

Elaborate. Why do you dislike the headline?

"Looks Like Cleveland Can Have Nice Things" suggests that Cleveland doesn't have any nice things most of the time. All-star games are wonderful events to host, but they pale against what Cleveland offers on a daily basis IMO.

Fond of Minervah, however, so should have expressed myself much less bluntly. I'm in a foul C-D mood dealing with man-made climate change deniers.

Many CD users think the unquestionably nice things in mid sized cities dont count. For some reason or other. "Ugh the orchestra again! Nobody cares about the art museum!" Etc. Meanwhile, coastal cities get lauded for "culture."

I'm certain that attitude is NOT what motivated Minervah's headline. She actually just gets annoyed with persons who dump on Cleveland!

Oh no doubt, she gets it. I interpreted her post as contra the nay sayers. Just always interesting to see the cognitive dissonance on certain other forums.

Am I nuts, or is this just a big waste of money? It's not that tough to walk around the Rock Hall if you want to go to Voinovich Bicentennial Park. I've done it several times. It's a fun walk always.

https://www.cleveland.com/cityhall/2...st-harbor.html

Would rather see the money go into a top-notch bridge across the railroad tracks.

Is this bridge a vital part of a bikeway to keep bikers away from pedestrians around the Rock Hall??? Isn't there a cheaper protected bike path solution perhaps with perhaps a limited must walk zone for bikers, where the path would cross pedestrian walkways?

Now that there is federal and state funding, it likely will be built as a novel plaything if nothing else.

Okay, for those who didn’t get it. My comment was actually a quote used in a few posts around CD by a notorious Negative Nellie regarding Cleveland being unworthy of having anything good. My intention was simply to disprove the theory.

I guess I should have used quotation marks to make it more plain it was a quote and not a statement.
