As you've probably heard, Cleveland is to host the 2016 RNC Convention. As a Clevelander, I along with all of Northeast Ohio have been sitting on the edge of our seats and have been waiting for the announcement, and were excited when they announced it today. I have always lived in Cleveland and have seen Cleveland's worse times, but today is an example that Cleveland is going to be a great city in the near future.
As of today, Cleveland is a great city as it is. Now, there are some run down areas in Cleveland that no one would want to step foot in. These neighborhoods are run down with abandoned houses and buildings, crime, gangs, guns, violence, and in some areas prostitutes. These areas are in some areas about 4-5 miles east of downtown. Fortunately, there have been extensive projects started by groups such as Cleveland 2019 (A group that is fixing Cleveland to be the best by 2019) along with the city of Cleveland and private investors, that have been fixing up these run down areas by flipping houses and building new houses and opening restaurants.
The rest of Cleveland is mostly a great place to go. Cleveland is a city that has big neighborhoods within the city limits, and suburb surrounding the city. There are places in Cleveland like South Broadway and Cleveland Heights and Beachwood that attract a lot of people because of how many bars and restaurants there are there. Cleveland also has the world famous Rockefeller Park, which attracts thousands of people each year to it's lush trees and it's amazing cultural gardens.
To get to the point, I was wondering. What do people from other cities think about Cleveland?
People that make fun of Cleveland have never been there.
They do this because they're naive and might be jealous. But it's really interesting to hear what people from different cities say about Cleveland, even if they've been there or not.

I don't know enough of Cleveland to be jealous. Okay, I might be jealous that you have Michael Symon, but that's about the extent of my Cleveland knowledge.

I'm not naive, nor am I jealous. I've never been to Cleveland and I don't plan to visit. I have no opinion about the city.

If the people act like jerks at the convention the whole Cleveland thing will start all over. That means no protests. For one short period be nice to everyone.
I hope they have transportation to The R&R Hall Of Fame, Art Museum, Casino, etc. If they let them find their own transportation I can see bad things happening. Anything wrong will be magnified by every comedian.
I am sure the jokes will be on at least one late night show as early as tonight.
Honestly, as someone from San Francisco and very concerned about economics and quality of living, the only other cities I ever think about are New York, sometimes Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. from time-to-time.
I don't know a single thing about Cleveland that I would recognize as iconic or representative of the city. No offense, it's just not on the news or in any piece of info I read.
