We hear the jokes, yes, but
Cleveland:
-Has a metro
-Has a good BRT system
-Has a great history of manufacturing and industry
-Never fully got rid of their streetcars and converted the last two lines to light rail
-Has what looks to be pretty affordable housing
-Has this dope-ass arcade and many other cool architectural features
Cleveland was once a very large industrial powerhouse, and capitalist disinvestment in the city has devastated some parts of it to a huge degree. That cannot be overlooked. But the city has now become a smaller city with big-city features and history. Big shoutout to Cleveland! Go check out https://hexbear.net/c/cleveland@midwest.social for more Cleveland content.

You will respect Cleveland in the coming years.
One of my favorite fun facts is that Cleveland was founded as part of Connecticut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland#Establishment
Well maybe not so fun that they were setting up settlements that far west, but interesting anyway
Cleveage Land

To be fair that is also one of my favorite videos too
I’m a proud af Clevelander. You are right on all counts. What people don’t know is that Cleveland is a city of great, characterful neighborhoods and inner ring suburbs.
Hey that’s cool
Wow a beautiful public space in amerikkka I’m shocked
We’d all love to flee to the Cleve!
