Cleveland hosts one of the World's best Hospitals called" The Cleveland Clinic" It has celebrities from all over the world come there to have difficult surgeries performed.
@@fannybuster my mom's worked in CC (as well as Metrohealth and University Hospitals Cleveland) for like 30 years and I was very accident prone in my 20's. I've unintentionally helped a few of those procedures get approved in the first place over the years because I'd hurt the right thing right as a surgical studies trial was enrolling patients for new treatment methods (and they'd pay all the bills and 6 months aftercare so I'm not fighting with insurance or anything. But also lots of "if we screw up I can't sue" waivers involved too so...)
He left so much out! There is a science center right next to the Rock Hall. Terminal Tower has a beautiful mall under it where they filmed Avengers movies and where they hold the Cleveland International Film Festival. The old Arcade. University Circle, with one of the best art museums in the country (after the big three). Case Western Reserve where famous experiments on light were conducted. The Emerald Necklace. Rockefeller Park. Millionaire's Row. Slavic Village. Little Italy. Once upon a time Cleveland was the 5th largest city in the country (before the Rust Belt era, of course). One under appreciated aspect of Cleveland is how easy it is to navigate relative to other major cities. Like most cities, Cleveland has its problems, but it really has a lot to offer in other respects. I grew up in the area. It's hard not to compare every other place I've lived to it (and mostly unfavorably). You could spend a week there and not see everything worth seeing.
As a Clevelander I have to agree. I mean...he started RIGHT THERE at E 9th and didnt even go across the street to see the USS Cod WW2 memorial and museum and the Women of Space and Aviation setup at Burke Lakefront Airport. Right there maybe another 10 minutes of footage that wasnt even addressed.
He said "West End Market" instead of West Side Market; and then they only showed the produce stands outside and not even one shot inside one the (IIRC) 2nd or 3rd largest open air market East of the Mississippi river? That's disgraceful...
Once upon a time this place was home to a shit ton of corporations. While our massive presence is gone, its life isn't. So much history and there's lots of great people here. I posted my own comment on how I came here for a job with the intention of leaving after a year....that was 11yrs ago. Thats gotta say something about the northcoast, right?
The best things about Cleveland in my opinion are almost unlimited fresh water, good people, very reasonable house prices, and especially the Cleveland metro parks.
@@waltstilwell4933 bonus of living here vs just visiting too: the Metroparks zoo is free admission on Mondays to Cuyahoga county residents (lots of school field trips because of it.)
Cleveland has whatever you want - and everything's no more than an hour away. Average is 20 minutes from everything. Music, Horse Racing, Casino, Boating, Skiing, Hiking, National Park, Parks in general everywhere, Golf courses galore, Zoo, World famous Orchestra, Broadway quality Theaters, World Class Museums, Amish stuff, Bars, Breweries, name your ethnic food - we have that too. The more I traveled - the more I realized, I didn't need to.
As a Clevelander myself, there’s a lot to be proud of. We’re fiercely loyal to our sports teams and there’s been a huge resurgence in the city and surrounding suburbs. Unfortunately there aren’t a ton of opportunities here so a lot of young people are moving away…Btw the song played at the baseball game is called “Take me Out to the Ballgame.” Every single team in the country plays this song usually during the Seventh Inning. It’s an iconic song and is a huge tradition in baseball. Also, Ohio is a state. Cleveland is a city within the state of Ohio.
Thank you for reacting to this! This video honestly was a great representation of the city but there’s a ton of stuff missing as there’s only so much a person can do in a trip. As any city, there are always problems but people tend of overlook the good things. I love this city til I die.
I live about 45 mins east of Cleveland and I've been to Cleveland many, many times in my life. It's very underrated in my opinion especially with the good food. Good ole slymans sandwich and your good to go 😋
He barely touched on the cultural history of Cleveland. University Circle with all the world class museums, Playhouse Square District which is the largest performing arts district only behind New York, and the Cleveland Orchestra which is ranked one of the top 10 orchestras in the world.
Actually, I think the Cleveland Orchestra is number 1 in the world...or at least used to be haha. Playhouse Sq is cool...I love the Cleveland Museum of Art. Such a great museum!
It's too bad he didn't show the cooler section of West side market. The main section is in a an old train station I believe that kind of reminds me of grand central station. It's been open since the early 1900s and sells everthing from pastries, meat pies, coffee, cheese, and almost every type of meat you can imagine. I usually go for steaks and hard to find ingredients. I usually stop by the coffee place at the entrance, buy a coffee and a bag of beans then drink my coffee while i shop. The section in the video is the farmers market section in one of the side buildings.
Yay! My city! Cleveland really is a great place. Whatever kind of music or art or food you like, we have it world-class. And it's affordable to live here - kind of makes up for the cloudy weather LOL. He missed a couple major points - I'd have added the Playhouse Square theater complex (in the US, only Broadway in NYC is bigger), Severance Hall (where our excellent Cleveland Orchestra plays), and our art museum. @11:27 - It's a baseball tradition to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during what they call the 7th inning stretch, when fans get up and stretch (and sing!) after 6 innings sitting. I think all the teams do this at every game.
I had many assignments in Cleveland which has many features not mentioned here. Cleveland is a major medical center especially gerontology known nationally. Also many European migrants settled here so there are German, Polish, Eastern European restaurants. Also Cleveland has Midwestern friendly people. Lots more to it.
My hometown! He did a good job of showing different areas, but i wish he would have shown inside the market where the prepared foods are, as well as highlight some local staple foods.
Luka's reaction to every American city has been the same so far. Surprised they didn't fit the stereotype that he had of them before watching a video specifically about them. When I first went to Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati etc from where I grew up in San Diego, I too was filled with the typical stereotype of a declining rough city devoid of anything culturally or aesthetically refined. But I was pleasantly surprised that each of these cities was by in large well maintained, vibrant, and full of economic and social activity and culture. I don't know what we Americans expect from these big metropolises! Perfect cities?? Well they don't exist here or anywhere else. Most American cities have some rough areas and neighborhoods but they are typically only a small part of the overall middle class existence here in one of the richest countries in the world. Just do a little traveling abroad and you might come back home with a great appreciation of what you have right in your own backyard. Cleveland is a very nice city by American standards. ♥
@@cygnusx-3217 And it's also far more "culturally and aesthetically refined"! Certainly far more than the GOP military retiree area that is San Diego, what a bizarre stereotype for them to have!
I'm from Cleveland. I'm not quite sure when the tour video was made, but it was during the pandemic, as people wearing masks can be seen in some parts of the video, and the professional baseball team is no longer called the "Indians," but rather it became the Guardians for the 2022 baseball season. Where the casino is now was long a department store called "Higbee's," known for their Christmas window display and for their nice restaurant on the top floor called "The Silver Grille."
I feel this guy represented Cleveland MUCH better than the other guy represented Detroit. One of the better tour guides I've seen. Check out more of his stuff assuming it's as good as this one 👍
Born and raised in the Cleveland area. I moved around the country in my 20s but came back in 2010 and haven't left since...there's no place like home ❤ I bought a home about 20 mins east of Cleveland 1 block from Ohios largest natural sand beach called Headlands Beach State Park. I love Ohio, I feel like most people who have nasty things to say about us have either actually never been here or it just wasn't the right place for them. We are a state that I would consider has 3 major regions, Western Ohio is very "Midwestern", quiet open farmlands, Eastern and Southern Ohio is in the Appalachian Mountain Region, very green with lush forests and gorgeous geography. Hocking Hills State Park is in this region and is absolutely beautiful!!! The Great Lakes Region is North. Different beaches, harbors, camp grounds and parks line the entire coast. Also includes one of our many amusement parks, Cedar Point. You can also get to Put-in-Bay Island, Kellys Island. We also have one of the most visited National Parks in the country, Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Northeast Ohio also has a very large Amish Country with tons of great restaurants, shops, auctions, incredible homemade furniture, antique and second hand stores. A lot of people are surprised to find out Ohio is the 7th most populated state! But is still very affordable compared to most states. Personally I believe Ohio is very underrated, but I'd rather keep it that way ❤ I love living here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I was born and raised within 50 miles of Cleveland. I now live about 45 miles west of the city. Like most cities it has some problems, but it can be a fun place to be as well. On top of all this man showed here. The city has great museums and a theater district that can rival the best cities in the world.
In baseball, we sing "Take me out to the Ball Game" at the 7th inning stretch. Sometimes we also sing God Bless America too, depending on the city. This started after 9-11.
Clevelander here, the city mostly gets a bad rep because of its age and infrastructure. Its not a terribly large city compared to others, but it does boast a nice size theatre district, and a shit ton of restaurants and pubs. However most of the activity in downtown, youre gonna find near the "flats". Theres also alot of stuff to see in the suburban areas and settlements, as well our large metropark systems and reservations.
Cleveland here ..bought my second house in May live two miles west of downtown. Great food sports our boating culture Great museums City parks and neighborhood based ❤
Eyy it's my town! The guide did a reasonable job of showing the touristy places but there's a LOT he left out. The aquarium is pretty cool, if small, but University Circle has a bunch more museums that are way bigger and better. The Cleveland Museum of Art is free entry and worth taking a whole day, the Natural History Museum is re-opening fully renovated soon, and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens are absolutely gorgeous. There's a world-class zoo, and the Cleveland Metroparks System aka the "Emerald Circle" is a ring of national parks and wildlife preserves that surrounds the entire Cleveland area. The guide also didn't mention Playhouse Square, the theater district, with like half a dozen historical venues and a whole bunch of shops and restaurants. It's one of the nicest live theater districts in the country. And like, I could keep going? This guide was only looking at Cleveland itself, but the suburbs and the Greater Cleveland Area cities of Akron & Canton have a bunch to see & do, too. Honestly though? The best part about Cleveland is the pricing. It's one of the cheapest major cities in the U.S., both to live in and to visit. It's a world-class major city, but not a huge tourist hub, and that really works to our advantage. Weather's not too crazy, either - we get some bad snowstorms and the occasional small tornado and that's pretty much it.
I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio and now live in Central Ohio. I have been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watched a Cleveland Indians game; however, they are now called the Cleveland Guardians. I am also, Cleveland Browns fan but I still love the Browns no matter how bad they do.
I lived in Cleveland and it’s my favorite place I’ve ever lived. If I had not needed to move for work, I’d still be there. I had my thinking place on the shore of Lake Erie and was a frequent visitor of the West Side Market ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Some things that come to mind after watching this (Clevelander here):The river caught fire back in 1969. Lake Erie has beautiful sunsets. The numbered streets go out to East 340's!
So much to do in the area. Canton, to the south, is the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cedar Point, outstanding amusement park, just to the west. It's not too far from Niagara Falls. Great area!
As a born and raised Clevelander, please allow me to add a couple of things. Cleveland was an industrial hub until the car and steel industries took a dive. Recently, the city has reinvented itself to reshape the downtown area. Some of the best chefs in the US operate restaurants in Cleveland. -Its a Northern city and the weather can be very cold from December to March. -Cleveland also has a very large theater district, second in size only to New York City. -The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra is considered one of the finest in the world, by those who know. -All three of Clevelands sports teams, the Browns, Cavaliers and Guardians, were in the playoffs last year. Also, we're only about 45 minutes away by car from Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. It's the rollercoaster capitol of the world, boasting 16 different rollercoasters. It's actually a nice and affordable place to live and we have an international airport that is about to be completely renovated. In the winter it's a little unforgiving, but in the Summer it's hard to imagine a nicer place. Most of the people who rip on Cleveland have never been there.
I ripped on Cleveland for years and then ended up here for work. I said I'd leave in a year and transfer out with the company.........welll, that was 11yrs ago lol I bought a house 5yrs ago. It's not just the things above, its the people. Overall, the pride here is infectious. The car and steel may have left, but that attitude has not. It's a hard working midwestern town. In 11yrs, I've seen some great changes.
Take Me Out To The Ball Games is sung during the 7th inning stretch , it's a great American tradition . After all the food and drink with 3 innings to go , get up out of your seat sing a little song with a few thousand friends and even if you're losing you feel better , regular season that is .
I don't live in Cleveland, but I do live in Ohio (Columbus), and echo a lot of what people in the comments are saying--Cleveland is underrated. I moved to Columbus from Texas for my job and I visit Cleveland & Cincinnati frequently and all three of the "Big C" cities in Ohio are somewhat hidden gems.
This video is several years old because the baseball team has been the Guardians for about 3 years now. Also, the global headquarters of Sherwin Williams new tower downtown doesn't even look like it's been started yet. As an Ohioan, I've been in cities in all 50 states & Cleveland has a lot to offer that gets overlooked. So much was missed, including world class health facilities, the largest theater district (Playhouse Square) outside of NYC, the arts in University Circle, culinary successes, etc. Just last week, local news reported that 18.2 million people visited metro Cleveland in 2023.
I’m glad to see someone checking out Ohio and not just the typical tourist states. Columbus is the best city in Ohio, but Cleveland and Cincinnati are great.
Cleveland catches a lot of flak, but it's actually got a lot of nice areas. It's got a national park just south of it and a lot of great metro parks around it. The downtown area is nice. My biggest complaints are that things downtown are a little too spread out for a city of its size (it's like a mile from Brown's stadium to Progressive Field) and that it doesn't exploit the lake shore like Chicago does.
Cleveland is divided into various neighborhoods/districts; Ohio City is one of them (if you thought it was a city within a city; then it's one of like 10-12. There's East Cleveland, West Cleveland, the Flats (East and West banks are both different too;) little Italy, the warehouse district, theater district, public square, market district... I'm probably missing a few because I'm a West Clevelander (even that's a pretty difference here at times.) Also, the "Free" stamp statue in the very beginning is like the ugliest landmark in the entire city imo😂
Im from Cleveland and it does get a Bum wrap. It was once site of a Millionaire row. It has a very rich history. The state itself has the Rock Hall of Fame, The negro league hall of fame, the football hall of fame, not to mention the Wright brothers, Superman, and many other world wide and national monumental interests
The flag you noticed that looks like the French flag is actually the flag of Cleveland. There is currently a campaign that is trying to get the city a new flag.
I agree with the others... as a Clevelander born and raised, he left out a lot. Especially the theatre district (which is the largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City). Also, he only showed the produce stalls at the Westside Market... he didn't show the inside of the market building. There is so much to see and do here in Cleveland and a 15 minute video is not enough to showcase our town!
P.S. He also called us the "rock city" we are actually known as the "Forest City." Our park system is amazing. I swear, you never more than a mile away from one! Plus, we have a wonderful beach at Edgewater Park!
-There was so much more he didn't show you. Many people don't venture, let alone mention us up in Cleveland, on the Canadian border. It's not a huge city, but if you want a slower paced city that doesn't cost as much as the "popular" coastal cities most RUclipsrs vlog about, Cleveland is a great city to raise your kids and have a family. Most joke about us till they actually get here and usually fall in love. -We are also a major movie filming hub. A few of the Avengers movies were filmed here and the new Superman movie just wrapped up filming about a month ago. Netflix and other film companies are always filming here as well. We have an old looking city, that can be made to look like a New York, L.A. or even Washington D.C. for a fraction of the filming costs. -11:33 It's an old song, for all teams. It's played for the "Seventh Inning Stretch".... Circa 1908. It's been adopted by the sport, but had different origins most don't know about... ruclips.net/video/BUOChc7PDMU/видео.html -18:56 This is just above the river area he was at earlier in the video. The area by the water is called The Flats. It was back in the day the party area with most of the bars, clubs, strip clubs, etc being down there. It's being revitalized now, so hopefully it will be again along with East 4th. The city is split down the middle by the river, with the East side of town being on the east part of the river and where he was standing being on the West Bank, the westside of Cleveland. -Basically, Ohio gets a bad rap and made fun of because it's in the Midwest. A slower lifestyle and not too much of the hustle and bustle of the coastal states. We are not generally thought of as a travel destination unless you are coming for business or to visit family. Most of the state is also farming, so most states like us usually get over looked and made fun of...
They’re different cities but sort of sister cities. I which he could’ve did some background Lav would’ve realized that Cleveland is just two hrs from Pittsburgh the city that he looked at a few days ago. I wasnt trying to steal your shine Cleveland just trying to give Lav a frame of reference. The more you know. Lol
This video must be from a few years ago because the Cleveland Indians are no longer the Indians. They had to change their name to the Guardians. By the way, the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is normally played and sang at every 7th inning of every Major League and minor league baseball game. That time between the top and bottom of the 7th inning is called the 7th Inning Stretch, where everyone stands up to stretch and sings the song. A full baseball game has 9 innings. Great video!
As a Clevelander, all outsiders need to know Cleveland is a pit. Not worth coming to and nothing to see. {hopefully this helps keep people away, so traffic stays good, reduce the wait time and lines, keeps the reasonable prices down - an effort to keep Cleveland hidden and status quo}
I have lived in 9 different states/ cities in the US and Cleveland by a mile is my favorite. it is very underrated. He missed so many great things in Cleveland. The University Circle area with many museums, the Symphony Hall and Case Western University. He missed Playhouse square which is the 2nd largest theater district in the country after NYC. He missed the Cleveland Clinic which is one of the best hospital systems in the US. Little Italy. I lived in the most beautiful suburb in Cleveland which is Shaker Heights. Shaker is just a great place to raise kids. All my kids talk about moving back there when they have kids to raise them there as well. They had a great childhood in Cleveland.
I think you can also understand why people drive? It's not that busy .We have extensive busses trains ..trolleys rentable bikes but it's truly easy to get places We have space in USA 🇺🇸
But it's mostly contained from E30th to Cedar Hill. And until recently - it was only dangerous after dark. But daytime is starting to get rough, and they're creeping into the E 20's. Visitors just need to ask the hotel clerks where to stay out of.
5:50 Sherwin Williams is currently constructing a new high rise building directly downtown which will act as their world headquarters! This video is quite dated!
Cleveland is a rust belt city. The collapse of the USA steel industry meant massive job losses from Pittsburgh to Detroit and beyond which led to "white flight" leaving minorities behind with no jobs and no future investment in these cities in view. The decreased tax base from salary and profit meant these rust belt areas suffered greatly in education and crime statistics. Most of these cities do not need new tall buildings, they need derelict ones torn down. Commercial office skyscrapers have been changed to residential skyscrapers, and populations have stabilized where they aren't growing or shrinking. Cleveland looks clean, and is for the most part, because it isn't packed with people anymore and there aren't tons of things to do there like other major cities.
Cleveland: at least it's not Detroit :-) Cleveland proper contains a lot of non-residential area. In the mid twentieth century it was mostly industrial; at this point, a lot of it is commercial. A good chunk of the residential population has moved out to the various suburbs: Lorain, Lakeview, Cleveland Heights, East Cleveland, Mentor, Parma, Elyria, etc. Like any big city, people commute from up to an hour's drive away. And yes, Cleveland has a lot of historical significance. There's a reason the Cuyahoga River was chosen to anchor the northern portion of the Ohio & Erie Canal. The word "cathedral", in Roman Catholicism, refers to a church building where the highest-ranking church official stationed there, is at least a Bishop; a church that does not have a Bishop, does not have a cathedral either. This distinction is entirely irrelevant for the overwhelming majority of Christian denominations, because they don't have the Catholic hierarchy of church officials. (The New Testament uses the terms "pastor", "elder", and "bishop" entirely interchangeably, and most Protestant denominations and Anabaptist fellowships consider them to all be the same office. I'm not sure about the Eastern churches, but they are significantly less common in North America.)
That was a very sterile look at the city. As has been mentioned there are many other aspects that were missed, but I guess his take is to find the "fun" parts of the city. I lived in the Cleveland area when I was a kid and I will say a lot has changed for the better. When I lived there, "The Flats" was a very dangerous area, and you probably would not want to walk the streets of downtown at night, but that was then. Historically, Cleveland held the title of the largest city in Ohio, but then the industrial side of the city crumbled and it shrank. It is still one of the "big three" of Ohio: Columbus (the largest at 1.2 million people), Cincinnati (on the Ohio River, a very important shipping center on the way to the Mississippi River), and Cleveland. I do not know why he included Akron as a suburb of Cleveland, because it is a city in its own right. Also, as someone else has already pointed out, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is sung during the seventh inning stretch at most MLB games. This video has to be a few years old because the "Indians" are now the "Guardians" (a stupid name). I am still confused about why the Cleveland Indians was culturally insensitive, but the Atlanta Braves is not, but I digress. This is a touristy look at the city, not a real representation of all the city has to offer.
I’m from Michigan born and raised but no matter what I will always bash Ohio. Cleveland is definitely one of the nicest cities in Ohio but everything else not so much. That’s the only good thing I have to say about it. Not to mention the Cuyahoga river that runs through Cleveland has caught on fire like 3 times.
Yeah, we kicked ur ass to get Toledo...not sure that was actually a win (smirk), Ohio State needs to get back to embarrassing Michigan more than Michigan embarrasses itself lol
@@jryan9547 yeah not sure why Toledo was such a priority to get… not much there. I spend lots of time all over the Great Lakes cities. But yeah as big of a Michigan fan I am, I would be very surprised if they won “ The Game”. For one everyone cheats, NCAA came after Michigan because the SEC didn’t win for once.
Cleveland local here, dude does a good job on presentation and production…. BUT… he definitely should have gotten himself a local to show him around. 🤦♂️ didn’t even go INSIDE the market. Didn’t show the science center. Didn’t show the Cod. Didn’t show off Terminal Tower. Coulda gotten a great shot from the top of the tower. Didn’t show off the bridge architecture. Didnt show off the big parks like Edgewater and Lakeview. Got pasta… but NOT in Little Italy (blasphemy). Didnt go down the MLK scenic drive. Didnt show off the “culture” district with the botanical gardens, art museums, Nat. History museum, etc. And that’s not even really getting into food stops- Galuccis Trottoria Slyman’s Barrister’s Danny’s The list really is near endless… Cleveland’s got a WHOLE lot going on… but ya definitely wanna get a locals help. But that’s easy enough, it’s the Midwest.
Can't believe he didn't show the beaches like the one in my pfp and Playhouse Square district. But he's not from the area and probably doesn't know about them
I think Ohio gets meme'd because it's kind of the hard-working middle sibling of the US states. It's pretty populous, but not big like New York, Florida, or California. It's got a lot of coastline, but it's not a year-round warm ocean coast like out west. It has well-known sports teams, but they're generally more known for being cursed (see the Browns). Being part of the rust belt, the major cities rose to prominence during the heyday of auto manufacturing, but then started to recede as manufacturing jobs left for cheaper labor in other countries. A lot of the state is urban, either one of the big three cities or their suburbs, but the parts that aren't are either farms in the northwest, or forested hills in the southeast. The state is really a fairly average place to be in the US, and so it doesn't really stand out to people who aren't from it or in it's neighbor states. Most of the rest of the country likely sees Ohio as a pass-through or fly-over state as they travel to and from more popular destinations. Don't sleep on Ohio, though, because we're a quietly solid state. Edit: Also, we have not one but two awesome amusement parks with Cedar Point on a peninsula in Lake Erie, and King's Island down by Cincy. Hocking Hills state park has loads of beautiful trails, and there's also some decent caves if you're into that sort of thing.
Appreciate the guy's effort, and especially his positive outlook, but the music about put me to sleep. It even made an extra-inning walk-off Guardians win seem boring. Also some irritating smaller mistakes; you could tell he wasn't from here. Maybe I'm being overly critical being fron NE Ohio, tho. I'm surprised he didn't mention (unless I missed) Playhouse Square (multiple theaters), and the University Circle area w/Severence Hall (symphony), Museum of Art & other museums. Also great for medicine with the University Hospital system as well as the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. And a bit sacrilegious to not mention the Christmas Story house in the Tremont neighborhood. 😅 Seriously, though, Cleveland is a nice, underrated city with a very walkable downtown (see Geography King's newer video on Walkable Downtowns 😉) and a decent (for the U.S.) public transit system. Mostly bus, but limited rail, including a line from Tower City (on Public Square) to the airport as well as one to the waterfront & Amtrak station. Let me know if you're ever going to visit in the fall & you can use my Browns tickets.
It’s the Westside Market NOT the Westend Market. If you’re going to review a city as historic as Cleveland do your research. He just skimmed over Rockefeller and other major accomplishments, inventions and world renowned music, medical and art facilities.
Cleveland hosts one of the World's best Hospitals called" The Cleveland Clinic" It has celebrities from all over the world come there to have difficult surgeries performed.
@@fannybuster my mom's worked in CC (as well as Metrohealth and University Hospitals Cleveland) for like 30 years and I was very accident prone in my 20's. I've unintentionally helped a few of those procedures get approved in the first place over the years because I'd hurt the right thing right as a surgical studies trial was enrolling patients for new treatment methods (and they'd pay all the bills and 6 months aftercare so I'm not fighting with insurance or anything. But also lots of "if we screw up I can't sue" waivers involved too so...)
He left so much out! There is a science center right next to the Rock Hall. Terminal Tower has a beautiful mall under it where they filmed Avengers movies and where they hold the Cleveland International Film Festival. The old Arcade. University Circle, with one of the best art museums in the country (after the big three). Case Western Reserve where famous experiments on light were conducted. The Emerald Necklace. Rockefeller Park. Millionaire's Row. Slavic Village. Little Italy. Once upon a time Cleveland was the 5th largest city in the country (before the Rust Belt era, of course). One under appreciated aspect of Cleveland is how easy it is to navigate relative to other major cities. Like most cities, Cleveland has its problems, but it really has a lot to offer in other respects. I grew up in the area. It's hard not to compare every other place I've lived to it (and mostly unfavorably). You could spend a week there and not see everything worth seeing.
As a Clevelander I have to agree. I mean...he started RIGHT THERE at E 9th and didnt even go across the street to see the USS Cod WW2 memorial and museum and the Women of Space and Aviation setup at Burke Lakefront Airport. Right there maybe another 10 minutes of footage that wasnt even addressed.
Playhouse Square too, which is the theater district in downtown; beautifully restored theaters.
He said "West End Market" instead of West Side Market; and then they only showed the produce stands outside and not even one shot inside one the (IIRC) 2nd or 3rd largest open air market East of the Mississippi river? That's disgraceful...
@@MrTommygunz420 Im not saying that he doesnt live in cleveland but maybe an import? Seems to miss a lot of the highlights
Once upon a time this place was home to a shit ton of corporations. While our massive presence is gone, its life isn't. So much history and there's lots of great people here. I posted my own comment on how I came here for a job with the intention of leaving after a year....that was 11yrs ago. Thats gotta say something about the northcoast, right?
The best things about Cleveland in my opinion are almost unlimited fresh water, good people, very reasonable house prices, and especially the Cleveland metro parks.
Cleveland Metro Parks is wonderful. They really do a great job and cleaned up Edgewater.
@@waltstilwell4933 bonus of living here vs just visiting too: the Metroparks zoo is free admission on Mondays to Cuyahoga county residents (lots of school field trips because of it.)
Cleveland has whatever you want - and everything's no more than an hour away. Average is 20 minutes from everything. Music, Horse Racing, Casino, Boating, Skiing, Hiking, National Park, Parks in general everywhere, Golf courses galore, Zoo, World famous Orchestra, Broadway quality Theaters, World Class Museums, Amish stuff, Bars, Breweries, name your ethnic food - we have that too. The more I traveled - the more I realized, I didn't need to.
They don't need 15 minute cities
As a Clevelander myself, there’s a lot to be proud of. We’re fiercely loyal to our sports teams and there’s been a huge resurgence in the city and surrounding suburbs. Unfortunately there aren’t a ton of opportunities here so a lot of young people are moving away…Btw the song played at the baseball game is called “Take me Out to the Ballgame.” Every single team in the country plays this song usually during the Seventh Inning. It’s an iconic song and is a huge tradition in baseball. Also, Ohio is a state. Cleveland is a city within the state of Ohio.
Fun fact they just filmed the new Superman movie here in Cleveland a few months ago. The original creators were from Cleveland.
Take Me Out To The Ballgame is from 1908. It has been around forever and is a kind of baseball anthem.
It is "typically played" during the "seventh inning stretch;" that is, the break in the middle of the 7th inning.
Thank you for reacting to this! This video honestly was a great representation of the city but there’s a ton of stuff missing as there’s only so much a person can do in a trip. As any city, there are always problems but people tend of overlook the good things. I love this city til I die.
I don’t think the guy in this video explained things well. He completely missed many of the highlights.
I live about 45 mins east of Cleveland and I've been to Cleveland many, many times in my life. It's very underrated in my opinion especially with the good food. Good ole slymans sandwich and your good to go 😋
He barely touched on the cultural history of Cleveland. University Circle with all the world class museums, Playhouse Square District which is the largest performing arts district only behind New York, and the Cleveland Orchestra which is ranked one of the top 10 orchestras in the world.
Actually, I think the Cleveland Orchestra is number 1 in the world...or at least used to be haha. Playhouse Sq is cool...I love the Cleveland Museum of Art. Such a great museum!
Ohio City is just a neighborhood in Cleveland and is the city’s main brewery and market district (home to the Westside Market).
It's too bad he didn't show the cooler section of West side market. The main section is in a an old train station I believe that kind of reminds me of grand central station. It's been open since the early 1900s and sells everthing from pastries, meat pies, coffee, cheese, and almost every type of meat you can imagine. I usually go for steaks and hard to find ingredients. I usually stop by the coffee place at the entrance, buy a coffee and a bag of beans then drink my coffee while i shop. The section in the video is the farmers market section in one of the side buildings.
If I may say, the people who make the best jokes about Cleveland are the Clevelanders. Love to see you checking out CLE!
Yay! My city! Cleveland really is a great place. Whatever kind of music or art or food you like, we have it world-class. And it's affordable to live here - kind of makes up for the cloudy weather LOL. He missed a couple major points - I'd have added the Playhouse Square theater complex (in the US, only Broadway in NYC is bigger), Severance Hall (where our excellent Cleveland Orchestra plays), and our art museum.
@11:27 - It's a baseball tradition to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during what they call the 7th inning stretch, when fans get up and stretch (and sing!) after 6 innings sitting. I think all the teams do this at every game.
the term “rock & roll” was coined by a cleveland radio dj
I had many assignments in Cleveland which has many features not mentioned here.
Cleveland is a major medical center especially gerontology known nationally. Also many European migrants settled here so there are German, Polish, Eastern European restaurants. Also Cleveland has Midwestern friendly people.
Lots more to it.
Yay I’m from and currently live in Cleveland!
Yes, great lakes waters edge is very much a coastline. The sunsets over lake Michigan is beautiful.
My hometown! He did a good job of showing different areas, but i wish he would have shown inside the market where the prepared foods are, as well as highlight some local staple foods.
thats the best part of the market!
Luka's reaction to every American city has been the same so far. Surprised they didn't fit the stereotype that he had of them before watching a video specifically about them. When I first went to Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati etc from where I grew up in San Diego, I too was filled with the typical stereotype of a declining rough city devoid of anything culturally or aesthetically refined. But I was pleasantly surprised that each of these cities was by in large well maintained, vibrant, and full of economic and social activity and culture. I don't know what we Americans expect from these big metropolises! Perfect cities?? Well they don't exist here or anywhere else. Most American cities have some rough areas and neighborhoods but they are typically only a small part of the overall middle class existence here in one of the richest countries in the world. Just do a little traveling abroad and you might come back home with a great appreciation of what you have right in your own backyard. Cleveland is a very nice city by American standards. ♥
Chicago's GDP is 3x the size of San Diego.
shhhhhhhh...we like being thought of as a crap city with nothing to offer....keeps the prices reasonable LOL
@@cygnusx-3217 And it's also far more "culturally and aesthetically refined"! Certainly far more than the GOP military retiree area that is San Diego, what a bizarre stereotype for them to have!
I live 40 miles south of Cleveland by Akron. Diehard Browns, Cavs & Guardians fan. Very underrated city! Great food too.
The first rock concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball, happened in Cleveland in 1952. That's probably why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is there.
Progressive field is awesome Sat night fireworks are truly Amazing
Yes born there and still there. It can be a very fun and enjoyable, lots to do.
Moved from Detroit to Cleveland in 1961. Absolutely love the city and surrounding areas.
I'm from Cleveland. I'm not quite sure when the tour video was made, but it was during the pandemic, as people wearing masks can be seen in some parts of the video, and the professional baseball team is no longer called the "Indians," but rather it became the Guardians for the 2022 baseball season. Where the casino is now was long a department store called "Higbee's," known for their Christmas window display and for their nice restaurant on the top floor called "The Silver Grille."
I'm glad you've been doing videos on individual cities in the US. Thanks!
He just shows a small part of what makes Cleveland so great. There is so much more downtown, on the west side, and on the east side.
I feel this guy represented Cleveland MUCH better than the other guy represented Detroit. One of the better tour guides I've seen. Check out more of his stuff assuming it's as good as this one 👍
Missed the zoo, the theater district, beautiful museums etc......
"Take Me Out To The Ballgame" is sung in most ballparks between the top and the bottom of the 7th inning. It's a tradition.
Born and raised in the Cleveland area. I moved around the country in my 20s but came back in 2010 and haven't left since...there's no place like home ❤
I bought a home about 20 mins east of Cleveland 1 block from Ohios largest natural sand beach called Headlands Beach State Park.
I love Ohio, I feel like most people who have nasty things to say about us have either actually never been here or it just wasn't the right place for them.
We are a state that I would consider has 3 major regions, Western Ohio is very "Midwestern", quiet open farmlands, Eastern and Southern Ohio is in the Appalachian Mountain Region, very green with lush forests and gorgeous geography. Hocking Hills State Park is in this region and is absolutely beautiful!!! The Great Lakes Region is North. Different beaches, harbors, camp grounds and parks line the entire coast. Also includes one of our many amusement parks, Cedar Point. You can also get to Put-in-Bay Island, Kellys Island.
We also have one of the most visited National Parks in the country, Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Northeast Ohio also has a very large Amish Country with tons of great restaurants, shops, auctions, incredible homemade furniture, antique and second hand stores.
A lot of people are surprised to find out Ohio is the 7th most populated state! But is still very affordable compared to most states.
Personally I believe Ohio is very underrated, but I'd rather keep it that way ❤ I love living here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
The song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was written in 1908. It has been sung at baseball games by fans ever since.
I was born and raised within 50 miles of Cleveland. I now live about 45 miles west of the city. Like most cities it has some problems, but it can be a fun place to be as well. On top of all this man showed here. The city has great museums and a theater district that can rival the best cities in the world.
Cleveland Museum of Art is one of my fav places to visit in CLE...Such an amazing place to have world class art.
I live about 40 minutes from Cleveland, and I love it. There's so much to do, we love our sports teams, and I love the lake.
In baseball, we sing "Take me out to the Ball Game" at the 7th inning stretch. Sometimes we also sing God Bless America too, depending on the city. This started after 9-11.
Clevelander here, the city mostly gets a bad rep because of its age and infrastructure. Its not a terribly large city compared to others, but it does boast a nice size theatre district, and a shit ton of restaurants and pubs. However most of the activity in downtown, youre gonna find near the "flats". Theres also alot of stuff to see in the suburban areas and settlements, as well our large metropark systems and reservations.
that video is like 2 years old. our skyline is different with a now completed skyscraper. pretty cool looking
A couple new buildings have been built since
I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio. I like Cleveland. Been there a few times
Cleveland has improved from what I remember. I was shocked when I went a couple years ago.
Cleveland here ..bought my second house in May live two miles west of downtown. Great food sports our boating culture Great museums City parks and neighborhood based ❤
Eyy it's my town! The guide did a reasonable job of showing the touristy places but there's a LOT he left out. The aquarium is pretty cool, if small, but University Circle has a bunch more museums that are way bigger and better. The Cleveland Museum of Art is free entry and worth taking a whole day, the Natural History Museum is re-opening fully renovated soon, and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens are absolutely gorgeous. There's a world-class zoo, and the Cleveland Metroparks System aka the "Emerald Circle" is a ring of national parks and wildlife preserves that surrounds the entire Cleveland area. The guide also didn't mention Playhouse Square, the theater district, with like half a dozen historical venues and a whole bunch of shops and restaurants. It's one of the nicest live theater districts in the country. And like, I could keep going? This guide was only looking at Cleveland itself, but the suburbs and the Greater Cleveland Area cities of Akron & Canton have a bunch to see & do, too.
Honestly though? The best part about Cleveland is the pricing. It's one of the cheapest major cities in the U.S., both to live in and to visit. It's a world-class major city, but not a huge tourist hub, and that really works to our advantage. Weather's not too crazy, either - we get some bad snowstorms and the occasional small tornado and that's pretty much it.
I live in Cleveland and I love it. I moved here almost 3 years ago from Phoenix, Arizona. Cleveland is way nicer than it's portrayed.
I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio and now live in Central Ohio. I have been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watched a Cleveland Indians game; however, they are now called the Cleveland Guardians. I am also, Cleveland Browns fan but I still love the Browns no matter how bad they do.
I lived in Cleveland and it’s my favorite place I’ve ever lived. If I had not needed to move for work, I’d still be there. I had my thinking place on the shore of Lake Erie and was a frequent visitor of the West Side Market ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
RUclips recommended getting a little too close to home 😂😂😂
Some things that come to mind after watching this (Clevelander here):The river caught fire back in 1969. Lake Erie has beautiful sunsets. The numbered streets go out to East 340's!
It’s time The Great Lakes States get noticed, including the comeback of Detroit.
Given global warming, increasing water scarcity and eroding oceanfront property, I think the Great Lakes stares are about to become prime real estate.
So much to do in the area. Canton, to the south, is the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cedar Point, outstanding amusement park, just to the west. It's not too far from Niagara Falls. Great area!
As a born and raised Clevelander, please allow me to add a couple of things.
Cleveland was an industrial hub until the car and steel industries took a dive.
Recently, the city has reinvented itself to reshape the downtown area.
Some of the best chefs in the US operate restaurants in Cleveland.
-Its a Northern city and the weather can be very cold from December to March.
-Cleveland also has a very large theater district, second in size only to New York City.
-The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra is considered one of the finest in the world, by those who know.
-All three of Clevelands sports teams, the Browns, Cavaliers and Guardians, were in the playoffs last year.
Also, we're only about 45 minutes away by car from Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. It's the rollercoaster capitol of the world, boasting 16 different rollercoasters.
It's actually a nice and affordable place to live and we have an international airport that is about to be completely renovated.
In the winter it's a little unforgiving, but in the Summer it's hard to imagine a nicer place.
Most of the people who rip on Cleveland have never been there.
I ripped on Cleveland for years and then ended up here for work. I said I'd leave in a year and transfer out with the company.........welll, that was 11yrs ago lol I bought a house 5yrs ago. It's not just the things above, its the people. Overall, the pride here is infectious. The car and steel may have left, but that attitude has not. It's a hard working midwestern town. In 11yrs, I've seen some great changes.
Take Me Out To The Ball Games is sung during the 7th inning stretch , it's a great American tradition . After all the food and drink with 3 innings to go , get up out of your seat sing a little song with a few thousand friends and even if you're losing you feel better , regular season that is .
I don't live in Cleveland, but I do live in Ohio (Columbus), and echo a lot of what people in the comments are saying--Cleveland is underrated. I moved to Columbus from Texas for my job and I visit Cleveland & Cincinnati frequently and all three of the "Big C" cities in Ohio are somewhat hidden gems.
This video is several years old because the baseball team has been the Guardians for about 3 years now. Also, the global headquarters of Sherwin Williams new tower downtown doesn't even look like it's been started yet. As an Ohioan, I've been in cities in all 50 states & Cleveland has a lot to offer that gets overlooked. So much was missed, including world class health facilities, the largest theater district (Playhouse Square) outside of NYC, the arts in University Circle, culinary successes, etc. Just last week, local news reported that 18.2 million people visited metro Cleveland in 2023.
I’m glad to see someone checking out Ohio and not just the typical tourist states. Columbus is the best city in Ohio, but Cleveland and Cincinnati are great.
Nope, Columbus is the best city in Ohio. 😁 GO BUCKS!!
@@briansmith48Go Bucks ? Pretty sure that's a State wide thing sorry ,that city can't claim it for it own , haha
@@briansmith48 Columbus isn't even the best city in Franklin County...
Cleveland catches a lot of flak, but it's actually got a lot of nice areas. It's got a national park just south of it and a lot of great metro parks around it. The downtown area is nice. My biggest complaints are that things downtown are a little too spread out for a city of its size (it's like a mile from Brown's stadium to Progressive Field) and that it doesn't exploit the lake shore like Chicago does.
the airport Needs to go...
Lav, If you would like a look at a lovely Ohio farm, have a look at this video. Making horse hay in small square bales.
The baseball team was renamed: the Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians.
Never been to Cleveland but I heard it ROCKS hahaha
I'm about 35 40 mins away. Live close to the lake in vermilion
Cleveland is divided into various neighborhoods/districts; Ohio City is one of them (if you thought it was a city within a city; then it's one of like 10-12. There's East Cleveland, West Cleveland, the Flats (East and West banks are both different too;) little Italy, the warehouse district, theater district, public square, market district... I'm probably missing a few because I'm a West Clevelander (even that's a pretty difference here at times.) Also, the "Free" stamp statue in the very beginning is like the ugliest landmark in the entire city imo😂
Im from cleveland. Didnt expect you to watch a video on it.
Road trip rule #1: No stopping in Ohio unless you have to poop.
Im from Cleveland and it does get a Bum wrap. It was once site of a Millionaire row. It has a very rich history. The state itself has the Rock Hall of Fame, The negro league hall of fame, the football hall of fame, not to mention the Wright brothers, Superman, and many other world wide and national monumental interests
the wright bros were from Dayton
This video is like 4 years old. The skyline is different now. There’s a brand new skyscraper now
React to Washington D.C!!!
The flag you noticed that looks like the French flag is actually the flag of Cleveland. There is currently a campaign that is trying to get the city a new flag.
I agree with the others... as a Clevelander born and raised, he left out a lot. Especially the theatre district (which is the largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City). Also, he only showed the produce stalls at the Westside Market... he didn't show the inside of the market building. There is so much to see and do here in Cleveland and a 15 minute video is not enough to showcase our town!
P.S. He also called us the "rock city" we are actually known as the "Forest City." Our park system is amazing. I swear, you never more than a mile away from one! Plus, we have a wonderful beach at Edgewater Park!
Cleveland use to be a top 10 city,then the jobs left..
-There was so much more he didn't show you. Many people don't venture, let alone mention us up in Cleveland, on the Canadian border. It's not a huge city, but if you want a slower paced city that doesn't cost as much as the "popular" coastal cities most RUclipsrs vlog about, Cleveland is a great city to raise your kids and have a family. Most joke about us till they actually get here and usually fall in love.
-We are also a major movie filming hub. A few of the Avengers movies were filmed here and the new Superman movie just wrapped up filming about a month ago. Netflix and other film companies are always filming here as well. We have an old looking city, that can be made to look like a New York, L.A. or even Washington D.C. for a fraction of the filming costs.
-11:33 It's an old song, for all teams. It's played for the "Seventh Inning Stretch".... Circa 1908. It's been adopted by the sport, but had different origins most don't know about...
ruclips.net/video/BUOChc7PDMU/видео.html
-18:56 This is just above the river area he was at earlier in the video. The area by the water is called The Flats. It was back in the day the party area with most of the bars, clubs, strip clubs, etc being down there. It's being revitalized now, so hopefully it will be again along with East 4th. The city is split down the middle by the river, with the East side of town being on the east part of the river and where he was standing being on the West Bank, the westside of Cleveland.
-Basically, Ohio gets a bad rap and made fun of because it's in the Midwest. A slower lifestyle and not too much of the hustle and bustle of the coastal states. We are not generally thought of as a travel destination unless you are coming for business or to visit family. Most of the state is also farming, so most states like us usually get over looked and made fun of...
They’re different cities but sort of sister cities. I which he could’ve did some background Lav would’ve realized that Cleveland is just two hrs from Pittsburgh the city that he looked at a few days ago. I wasnt trying to steal your shine Cleveland just trying to give Lav a frame of reference. The more you know. Lol
This video must be from a few years ago because the Cleveland Indians are no longer the Indians. They had to change their name to the Guardians. By the way, the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is normally played and sang at every 7th inning of every Major League and minor league baseball game. That time between the top and bottom of the 7th inning is called the 7th Inning Stretch, where everyone stands up to stretch and sings the song. A full baseball game has 9 innings. Great video!
I live near Dayton Ohio, home of the Wright Brothers. Boring place to visit, great place to live!
Brit doesn’t know Take Me Out To The Ballgame!!! - it’s an extremely old song, almost as old as baseball is
As a Clevelander, all outsiders need to know Cleveland is a pit. Not worth coming to and nothing to see. {hopefully this helps keep people away, so traffic stays good, reduce the wait time and lines, keeps the reasonable prices down - an effort to keep Cleveland hidden and status quo}
You are doing gods work lol
i am from Cleveland. Lots to do
I have lived in 9 different states/ cities in the US and Cleveland by a mile is my favorite. it is very underrated. He missed so many great things in Cleveland. The University Circle area with many museums, the Symphony Hall and Case Western University. He missed Playhouse square which is the 2nd largest theater district in the country after NYC. He missed the Cleveland Clinic which is one of the best hospital systems in the US. Little Italy. I lived in the most beautiful suburb in Cleveland which is Shaker Heights. Shaker is just a great place to raise kids. All my kids talk about moving back there when they have kids to raise them there as well. They had a great childhood in Cleveland.
i work at the jack casino in downtown cleveland lol
you have to do this guys Detroit tour. the last guy didnt do us justice.
would just love to correct this man on the name of the cleveland baseball team, no longer called the indians, now called the guardians
I think you can also understand why people drive? It's not that busy .We have extensive busses trains ..trolleys rentable bikes but it's truly easy to get places We have space in USA 🇺🇸
I live in Cleveland my whole life and we prolly get a bad rep because we're the 5th most dangerous city in America
If it weren't for blacks, it wouldn't be as bad! Imagine that!
But it's mostly contained from E30th to Cedar Hill. And until recently - it was only dangerous after dark. But daytime is starting to get rough, and they're creeping into the E 20's. Visitors just need to ask the hotel clerks where to stay out of.
America is the 5th most dangerous country in America 😂
@@BIFC216 what are you on about I said cleveland is the 5th most dangerous in America not America ur the only one that can't read I guess
@@BIFC216who said that?
Do Milwaukee next!
He probably made this video on the weekend.
5:50 Sherwin Williams is currently constructing a new high rise building directly downtown which will act as their world headquarters! This video is quite dated!
Cleveland is a rust belt city. The collapse of the USA steel industry meant massive job losses from Pittsburgh to Detroit and beyond which led to "white flight" leaving minorities behind with no jobs and no future investment in these cities in view. The decreased tax base from salary and profit meant these rust belt areas suffered greatly in education and crime statistics. Most of these cities do not need new tall buildings, they need derelict ones torn down. Commercial office skyscrapers have been changed to residential skyscrapers, and populations have stabilized where they aren't growing or shrinking. Cleveland looks clean, and is for the most part, because it isn't packed with people anymore and there aren't tons of things to do there like other major cities.
Cleveland: at least it's not Detroit :-)
Cleveland proper contains a lot of non-residential area. In the mid twentieth century it was mostly industrial; at this point, a lot of it is commercial. A good chunk of the residential population has moved out to the various suburbs: Lorain, Lakeview, Cleveland Heights, East Cleveland, Mentor, Parma, Elyria, etc. Like any big city, people commute from up to an hour's drive away.
And yes, Cleveland has a lot of historical significance. There's a reason the Cuyahoga River was chosen to anchor the northern portion of the Ohio & Erie Canal.
The word "cathedral", in Roman Catholicism, refers to a church building where the highest-ranking church official stationed there, is at least a Bishop; a church that does not have a Bishop, does not have a cathedral either. This distinction is entirely irrelevant for the overwhelming majority of Christian denominations, because they don't have the Catholic hierarchy of church officials. (The New Testament uses the terms "pastor", "elder", and "bishop" entirely interchangeably, and most Protestant denominations and Anabaptist fellowships consider them to all be the same office. I'm not sure about the Eastern churches, but they are significantly less common in North America.)
Columbus Ohio next:)
That was a very sterile look at the city. As has been mentioned there are many other aspects that were missed, but I guess his take is to find the "fun" parts of the city. I lived in the Cleveland area when I was a kid and I will say a lot has changed for the better. When I lived there, "The Flats" was a very dangerous area, and you probably would not want to walk the streets of downtown at night, but that was then. Historically, Cleveland held the title of the largest city in Ohio, but then the industrial side of the city crumbled and it shrank. It is still one of the "big three" of Ohio: Columbus (the largest at 1.2 million people), Cincinnati (on the Ohio River, a very important shipping center on the way to the Mississippi River), and Cleveland.
I do not know why he included Akron as a suburb of Cleveland, because it is a city in its own right. Also, as someone else has already pointed out, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is sung during the seventh inning stretch at most MLB games. This video has to be a few years old because the "Indians" are now the "Guardians" (a stupid name). I am still confused about why the Cleveland Indians was culturally insensitive, but the Atlanta Braves is not, but I digress. This is a touristy look at the city, not a real representation of all the city has to offer.
I’m from Michigan born and raised but no matter what I will always bash Ohio. Cleveland is definitely one of the nicest cities in Ohio but everything else not so much. That’s the only good thing I have to say about it. Not to mention the Cuyahoga river that runs through Cleveland has caught on fire like 3 times.
Yeah, we kicked ur ass to get Toledo...not sure that was actually a win (smirk), Ohio State needs to get back to embarrassing Michigan more than Michigan embarrasses itself lol
@@jryan9547 yeah not sure why Toledo was such a priority to get… not much there. I spend lots of time all over the Great Lakes cities. But yeah as big of a Michigan fan I am, I would be very surprised if they won “ The Game”. For one everyone cheats, NCAA came after Michigan because the SEC didn’t win for once.
Sweet
ohio has the most astronauts for a reason…
science and knowledge ? :P
Cleveland local here, dude does a good job on presentation and production…. BUT… he definitely should have gotten himself a local to show him around.
🤦♂️ didn’t even go INSIDE the market.
Didn’t show the science center.
Didn’t show the Cod.
Didn’t show off Terminal Tower.
Coulda gotten a great shot from the top of the tower.
Didn’t show off the bridge architecture.
Didnt show off the big parks like Edgewater and Lakeview.
Got pasta… but NOT in Little Italy (blasphemy).
Didnt go down the MLK scenic drive.
Didnt show off the “culture” district with the botanical gardens, art museums, Nat. History museum, etc.
And that’s not even really getting into food stops-
Galuccis
Trottoria
Slyman’s
Barrister’s
Danny’s
The list really is near endless…
Cleveland’s got a WHOLE lot going on… but ya definitely wanna get a locals help.
But that’s easy enough, it’s the Midwest.
Can't believe he didn't show the beaches like the one in my pfp and Playhouse Square district. But he's not from the area and probably doesn't know about them
I lived there for 2 years. I don’t miss it
I think Ohio gets meme'd because it's kind of the hard-working middle sibling of the US states. It's pretty populous, but not big like New York, Florida, or California. It's got a lot of coastline, but it's not a year-round warm ocean coast like out west. It has well-known sports teams, but they're generally more known for being cursed (see the Browns). Being part of the rust belt, the major cities rose to prominence during the heyday of auto manufacturing, but then started to recede as manufacturing jobs left for cheaper labor in other countries. A lot of the state is urban, either one of the big three cities or their suburbs, but the parts that aren't are either farms in the northwest, or forested hills in the southeast.
The state is really a fairly average place to be in the US, and so it doesn't really stand out to people who aren't from it or in it's neighbor states. Most of the rest of the country likely sees Ohio as a pass-through or fly-over state as they travel to and from more popular destinations. Don't sleep on Ohio, though, because we're a quietly solid state.
Edit: Also, we have not one but two awesome amusement parks with Cedar Point on a peninsula in Lake Erie, and King's Island down by Cincy. Hocking Hills state park has loads of beautiful trails, and there's also some decent caves if you're into that sort of thing.
You forgot our hatred towards Michigan in the fall...haha
@@jryan9547 lol. Funnily enough I have friends who are married where the wife is an OSU fan, but the husband is a Wolverine.
Appreciate the guy's effort, and especially his positive outlook, but the music about put me to sleep. It even made an extra-inning walk-off Guardians win seem boring. Also some irritating smaller mistakes; you could tell he wasn't from here. Maybe I'm being overly critical being fron NE Ohio, tho. I'm surprised he didn't mention (unless I missed) Playhouse Square (multiple theaters), and the University Circle area w/Severence Hall (symphony), Museum of Art & other museums. Also great for medicine with the University Hospital system as well as the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. And a bit sacrilegious to not mention the Christmas Story house in the Tremont neighborhood. 😅
Seriously, though, Cleveland is a nice, underrated city with a very walkable downtown (see Geography King's newer video on Walkable Downtowns 😉) and a decent (for the U.S.) public transit system. Mostly bus, but limited rail, including a line from Tower City (on Public Square) to the airport as well as one to the waterfront & Amtrak station.
Let me know if you're ever going to visit in the fall & you can use my Browns tickets.
They should've just called it Music Hall of Fame because so many people in it are NOT Rock & Roll!
It’s the Westside Market NOT the Westend Market. If you’re going to review a city as historic as Cleveland do your research. He just skimmed over Rockefeller and other major accomplishments, inventions and world renowned music, medical and art facilities.
Thats not the france flag, thats cleveland's flag haha
