I think this makes things a little more interesting.
I'll start it off:
CLEVELAND, OH
LIKES:
1) Big City Feel – rapid trains, tall buildings, wide avenues, ethnic neighborhoods, architecture
2) Sports Town – Browns, Indians, Cavs…Lebron!
3) Nightlife /Entertainment – Playhouse Square, music concerts! (too many), Cleveland Orchestra, Bars and more bars
4) Museums – Cleveland Art Museum, Rock and Roll HOF, Natural History, Botanical Gardens, 'A Christmas Story' House, USS Cod
5) Lake/Metroparks – jet skis, views, biking, beaches (not too bad, really), four seasons
DISLIKES:
1) Out-dated zoning codes in many neighborhoods
2) School District that needs reformed
3) Underutilized Lakefront
4) Urban decay and Section 8 neighborhoods!!
5) Negative Perceptions and people "living in the past."
There! If you really like your city, it's hard to write your dislikes as I've just realized (and probably vice-versa!).
Since I too live in Cleveland, I can't say much. I definitely agree on the DISLIKES but I think you should add "CORRUPT county government" to the list. When the FBI sets up camp for months, you know it's bad.

Yeah, but hopefully it will cause citizens to become more involved.
