RNC Shows How Cleveland Has Made a Comeback From Urban Decay

While the nation's eyes are all on Cleveland for the Republican National Convention, the city looks clean and secure, but that has not always been the case. Photojournalist Seph Lawless has been documenting the urban decay of his native city for a series entitled "Autopsy Of America." It is the story of how Cleveland went from a doomed city to a boom town over the years. The people in the city are proud of upgrades as they work hard to shed the nickname, "The Mistake by the Lake." #InsideEdition

Cleveland has yet to make a comeback, especially with it’s still eroding population and it’s near bankrupt city government.
