^ The architecture in the garden district is certainly unique and interesting, but I could show you pictures of houses in Shaker Heights, Bratenahl, Chagrin Falls, and Hunting Valley that are just as nice, or nicer. Plus Cleveland's larger buildings (Terminal Tower, The Old Arcade, Rock Hall, and Art Museum have no equal in N.O.
Are you an art historian? If not, you really aren't qualified to speak about the importance of the CMA, which is universally recognized by art historians as world class, with extremely important works, and its world renowned Asian collection. Over half a million visitors go there per year, it just completed a $350 million renovation (largest cultural project in Ohio history), and has one of the highest museum endowments in the US.
By the way, the Rock Hall is also world class and attracts over half a million visitors per year. Don't forget about the world class Cleveland Orchestra either.
New Orleans outside of the French Quarter is not any more urban than Cleveland. Downtown Cleveland is much better more vibrant and clean than the CBD, and City Park isn't as nice as University Circle. Their transit system is also inferior; it has uncomfortable wooden seats, and seemed not to be commuter oriented, but rather more for tourists.
^ those pictures are no more dense or urban than many parts of CLE. Shaker Square, Ohio City, Little Italy, University Circle, Waterloo, Tremont, Slavic Village, Old Brooklyn, Asiatown all have similarly small, dense, walkable streets with postage stamp yards, or no yards. We don't look like Minneapolis or Kansas City.

Apparently none of you have really explored Cleveland neighborhoods like Slavic Village, Asiatown, the Stockyards, Ohio City, Collinwood, Little Italy, or other urban neighborhoods with narrow streets, dense houses, small yards, alleyways, and no driveways. Every one of these old neighborhoods has multiple walkable commercial districts, with shops, restaurants, churches, and other businesses that directly front the street with apartments above, as well as scattered corner stores with apartments above.
