900 whole feet? WOW, that's like the street frontage of 8 homes in a subdivision - that's huge! Maybe they should move the production of Hawaii Five-O to your pathetic, debris-infested, 900 foot beach.

And I loved one of the Plain Dealer pictures for Headlands Beach where they show the girls splashing around in green water. Bet there's no flesh eating bacteria there!

Perplexing opinion. Cleveland has much taller buildings, with the gigantic (not only in height) Key Tower dwarfing everything else in Ohio.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ldings_in_Ohio

Cincinnati has relatively poor mass transit compared to Cleveland, with no rail transit and no rail transit center in the heart of downtown.

Cincinnati has neither an NHL or NBA franchise, which limits traffic in the downtown area in winter. E.g., Cleveland can be really hopping on days of Cavaliers games.

Cleveland's cultural institutions are among the best in the U.S. While Cincinnati's cultural institutions clearly are superior to those in Columbus, they do not compare to those in Cleveland.

University Circle is one of the great urban centers in the U.S. It features robust mass transit, top-notch cultural and medical institutions and a national university ranked 37th in the U.S., by far the highest of any Ohio national university.

The West Side Market is Cleveland dwarfs the Findlay Market in size, and is served by rail mass transit.

Most persons would conclude that Cleveland has the attributes of a "big" city much more than any other city in Ohio.

^ Cincinnati also doesn't have the cold weather of Cleveland in the winter, so there are likely more people out walking around all year round. People in Cleveland avoid, and might I say for very good reason, just going for walks in the middle of January.

As a clevelander, I will say that downtown Cincinnati is cool. I stayed in a hotel downtown there last summer.mwaking up at 7 and watching everyone come into the city over all the bridges over the river from like the 12th floor was pretty cool and did feel like a bigger city than it actually is. Feeling bigger than Cleveland? I don't know. Neither are actually "big" cities, but both are in many ways more desirable than those.

The inaccuracy of your statements already are well documented in this thread. Your statements were so inaccurate that they seem in contradiction to your claim of having visited Edgewater.

As for your opinion of the size of Edgewater, there's no waterfront beach or park that's even in the same league in Cincinnati or Columbus. The vistas from upper Edgewater are excellent and popular.

Tens of thousands of persons will visit Mentor Headlands on a hot summer day on a weekend. Obviously, you would win your bet that there's no flesh-eating bacteria at Mentor Headlands.

Your blatant effort to malign and to belittle the value and use of Cleveland area beaches just is another indication of your bias and the unreliability of your opinions and statements.

It's interesting that you're so concerned about toxic-algal bloom, and yet you failed to note that East Fork State Park, a state park near Cincinnati, was actually posted with toxic algal warnings this summer.

It was in the 1980's, but it looks a little long in the tooth to me. If you ask me, it's not very attractive anymore. Indianapolis and Pittsburgh have the best downtowns in the region.

I drove by and through Edgewater. I saw all the Trayvons and Trayvon-ettes there and I kept driving. I like not having my stuff stolen and I don't want to be the victim of a race riot.

I went to Lakewood Park -- No beach there just rock and a 100 foot drop. I then went to the debris-laden Huntington Beach. It sucked too.

Sorry, pal. Cleveland beaches suck.

Bigoted and inaccurate. Guess what I think "sucks."

Race riots? Lol. You are a real tool. Stay in your boring city of cowtown.

For the record, any beach is more than Columbus or Cincinnati have, and water quality issues are pretty much statewide at this point.

This is true. Having lived in Cleveland, I did like going to edge water,because it was there. But marketing the beaches as a reason to like Cleveland seems like a reach. I love Cleveland, but it's not a re-creation of cape cod, that's for sure.
