I've never been to Cleveland, but I'd assume that it was a city on the same teir as Charlotte, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, St. Louis .. etc

I'd probably give it a 6-7 just based off metropolitan area population

I agree. No way I see this cracking the top 20 when all said and done. LeBron left so what do they even have to offer now? It looks like it's too cold and not much to do either. Don't know about their food scene but haven't heard anything special.

Charlotte and Baltimore are on a slightly higher tier than these other cities...

Cleveland is fun, it gets a really bad wrap. It's bad areas are really bad, and its smaller feeling than I expected--->it doesn't feel like a particularly large city at all. Its downtown in kinda small, too...

But it's really urban and has some really dope neighborhoods. Rode the train as I do when I go anywhere, train is emptier than most cities. But the people were cool and the atmosphere was fine. Just not as big or busy as I assumed it would be...

It gets a 5.5 from me!

Cleveland got all types of food you just gotta hit different sections of the city to get certain stuff but everything is like 20 minutes from each other for real. I don't drink all like that but there is a WIDE variety of Beer and Micro-Breweries here too. It's a bunch of shyt for tourists to do but most people stay on whatever side of the city they live on, people on the west side think some of the suburbs are part of the east side of the city:snoop:

Folks on the east side be shocked when they encounter black people that live on the west side:dwillhuh:

Some folks on both sides ain't ever go past downtown on each respective side since the river divides the city.:unimpressed:

Love the city. It certainly has it's problems, but I think it's criminally underrated and get unnecessarily shytted on.

Pros:
Relatively low cost of living
Tons of great food options
Great art/film/music scene
Diverse
Nice MetroParks System
Museums/Theater/Sports/Zoo/Aquarium

Cons:
Lots of snow in winter
shytty ass, pot-hole-filled roads
Crime
Some really run down areas

I almost never go to the west side :russ:

the inner ring of suburbs has a lot to do also. I would judge Cleveland on downtown and the nicer suburbs that surround it at about a 25 minute drive away max.
