So Cleveland is stressed out eh?

Why do I have this odd sensation of Deja Vu? Ah, oh well. Anyway, Cleveland is stressed out, broke, and edgy. We have sub-par sports teams, downtown looks like the inside of a strip mall; there are more bars and places to eat than there is something to do. But that doesn’t make a city stressful; of course not. So what makes a Cleveland, Ohio so stressful? Well let’s see, we have a failing infrastructure, water bills that make no sense. Areas of the city without water for over 20 hours due to above ground water pipes busting. Poor economy, failing roadways, politicians going to jail.  But hey, at least we got a Walmart in Steelyard Commons. Not only that, the citizens in this wonderful city – the vast majority have this huge ass chip on their shoulders.

But enough about that. Let’s look at the positive side here, the Cleveland, Ohio area is one of the easiest places to live in. People are friendly, but not nosy. They know how to be kind, without being invasive. Clevelanders help you, whether they know you or not. They care about you, and look after you, whether they know you or not, also. Clevelanders are approachable, reasonable, and fair. I know some of you may or may not agree with that but we’re different for a reason right?

Now you want to know stressful? Look at Toledo, Ohio. Now,  that sucker is a real gem. Toledo should have air balloons in the sky, with writing that says: “We want to be like Detroit, and PROUD of it!” Speaking of Detroit, I wouldn’t wish moving there on my worse enemy. Although, if you want to get out of Cleveland I understand there are some great deals in Gary or Detroit. If folks there aren’t trashy enough for you, try taking your talents to anywhere in Florida where the crack heads all have tans!

  1. I used to live in Toledo, so I know how it is. I also lived in Gary, which is way worse. Man … That’s bad.
