Well, his opinion of the city is fine, but he based it on faulty information. To say that Cleveland lacks good restaurants and culture besides the orchestra is false. The Art Museum and Playhouse Square should be recognized, as the facts support that they are in fact highly regarded cultural institutions on a national/international level, additionally Cleveland is in fact establishing a foodie culture, and does have some great restaurants. Just trying to spread some knowledge, feel free to hate the city all you like but don't be misinformed about it.
1) Houston: Just a terrible place imo. To me, it's a giant suburb with materialistic people.
2) Dallas: It's old to me. Not charmingly old, more like what-were-the-architects-smoking-1970's old. Also, it's Houston with more materialistic people.
3) Cleveland: It's filled with poor people and decaying infrastructure with no great restauraunts or culture, with the exception of the Cleveland Orchestra.
4) Miami: It just seemed too "one-note" to me. Too much partying and too little of things that make someone live a better life.
5) El Paso: I never understood what goes on there; wait, what does go on there?
I wonder how many "great" restaurants someone who can't spell "restaurant" goes to.
Phoenix
Why? It's a desert! It's too hot, no economy, and water is scarce. Not much of a downtown, and did I mention the heat?
Detroit
What I saw there could make a really great horror film. A perfect example of what one industry, unions, an inept government can do for you!
Cleveland
The mistake by the lake. Enough said. Poster child for rust belt.
Poor weather
Very, very depressing driving through there.
Las Vegas
A town built from nothing. Again, built from one economic industry (see Detroit). This "city" is a neon abomination, and should be torn down. I'm serious.
I saved my best for last, because it's a hotly contested one:
New York city.
I know I'm going to catch heat for this one, but it is not a city I would live in. Would I visit NY time and time again? yes I would. every year. But you have got to be kidding me that living in such a big noisy city like that is any fun 365 days a year? Ridiculously expensive, and is quickly becoming this weird Disneyland of sorts. It's a tourist trap!
I do love it, but absolutely could not live there day in day out, year after year.
Sorry.
For me, I need wide open spaces, and peace and quiet!
Uhh it's fine (great actually) that you do not want to live here, but at least come up with a real reason.
That would require shelving my truly majestic sense of humor, which is not about to happen.
But seriously (well...not really) I had family in Orlando for years, family who (it should be noted) bailed. Been there often. I know where the aforementioned rodent hangs out, along with Orca The Killer Whale (or Shamu, or Vladimir, or whatever he's called these days), in relation to the actual human populace, and I also know where the beach is.
I wonder how many "great" restaurants someone who can't spell "restaurant" goes to.
GASP!!!!!! Please forgive me. I didn't know people here cared about a single letter, and besides, that has nothing to do with me liking restaurants.
To AGuyFromCleveland: Admittedly, I did forget about the art museum and Playhouse Square. Thank you for informing me, and you're right, the last time I was there was 11 years ago.
KANSAS CITY- City with a great skyline, but when driving around the city, downtown, ect and cannot find a barbq place for which the city is famous, not even a taco bell, then stuck in traffic on horrible freeways, ya pretty dissapointed with KCMO. I think I saw more open restaurants and shops in St Joseph, MO. Couldnt even find a shop for a $#% KC postcard.
DETROIT- Run down, abandoned, I would worry about getting shot daily.
LA- I love La, I could maybe live in the suburbs, but not the city, wayyyyy too crowded, smog, traffic, traffic everywhere, no hiding from it and crime. Did I mention how bad traffic is there?
LINCOLN, NE- Rude people, isolated, cornfields a gas station and more cornfields, boring
MEMPHIS- Besides Beale st, literally besides it, start the mean and run down streets of Memphis, too rundown, dangerous, such a shame for a city with great parks and amazing trees being I am from a place in the desert.
1. Detroit A very dangerous city that looks like a bomb went off
2. Atlanta A city with no purpose other than to get up go to work then plan what chain restaurant/ strip mall you want to eat dinner at that evening. The poster child for sprawl, racial undertones and lack of city planning/corruption with 2 usable parks for 5 million people
3. New Orleans- great place to visit...it has a certain charm not found anywhere else but its dangerous and Below Sea Level. basically an accident waiting to happen again
4. Jacksonville- blah times ten and redneck as it gets
5.????
