Cleveland doesn't deserve all of the bad press - but it's never going to be Boston or Seattle, either.

Cleveland was once considered as one of the best cities in America and had a booming population.

It was Boston and Seattle.

Then the economic hardships came and Cleveland (at the time mostly being a factory city) got hit about as hard as any city. The politics have kept it from truly marveling again, but it is getting better.

Downtown is getting a nice makeover and of course, the medical facilities are world famous.

There is so much to do in Cleveland and it really does get a bad rep. I'm there 4 or 5 days a week and I thoroughly enjoy the city and what it has to offer me.

Once the politicians can get their heads out of their asses and try to establish a modern vibe (while keeping the historic culture that keeps the city famous), Cleveland will be back on the rise. However, cutting down on the ridiculous taxes charged to business owners would be a good start.
