How nice to see something about Cleveland that isn't a depressing spew of crime/unemployment and why everyone should leave now! We'd seriously considered relocating but the negativity is overwhelming.

[Carrie.Rocks]

I think Cleveland, like any city, has had quite a colorful history - but hopefully we can provide a counter balance to any negativity by sharing the positive aspects of Cleveland

Nature lovers rejoice! The Cleveland Metroparks are what some local residents call the best kept secret of the city. With over 20,000 acres of nature and trails for the public to explore, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, going to the zoo and horse riding are just some of the outdoor recreational activities you can enjoy while taking in the beautiful landscape.

I've been in about 30+ states and even europe a couple times, and I love it here in Cleveland. I've decided I'm staying for the long haul.



Carrie...did you notice the West Side Market was honored yesterday as one of the top ten public spaces in the country??

[Carrie.Rocks]

That's great, Costello! I didn't hear about the West Side Market being honored, but it certainly deserves it!

For those of you who don't know about the market, it's a place where hundreds of vendors gather together in one place, all selling fresh, culturally diverse foods... even people who don't consider themselves culinary enthusiasts would be excited about the food there

Artist Matthew Ryan Sharp unveiled his latest exhibit “The Approachable Darkness” at the Artchitecture Gallery earlier this month. From what I’ve seen, his work has a really cool/gritty/underground vibe. You can catch all 85 pieces of Sharp’s artwork on display until November 14th. But be sure to make an appointment during weekdays if you’d like a viewing, or swing by on Saturday or Sunday between 12 to 4 PM – admission is free!
