Amazing how things have 'turned around' in Cleveland isn't it?

I read this thread, watched the videos last night. Today, as I'm sitting at a red light on US 15 in Lewisburg, PA a mini-van pulls up beside me with one of these on the passenger front window:

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it and instantly thought of this thread.

I will say one thing about the video that is total bullshit for those of you that don't know.

Yes the Cuyahoga river caught on fire from all the pollution and it happened 5 times starting in the 1800s BUT in the late 60s they started cleaning it up and it is now one of the cleanest rivers in the country. I know, I grew up 3 blocks from it and my mom lives just under a mile from it ... so they are rehashing ancient history.

When I was a kid in Akron we called Cleveland "the mistake on the lake" but in the late 70s to early 80s (after the city declared bankruptcy) they really turned it around ... it was damn nice. Now I haven't been to Cleveland in a good 20 years and I know the housing crash has hit it hard but they really did try to clean it up.

They didn't try to clean it up - They did clean it up and it is nice for a big city.

Still I have to agree about the not slowing down in East Cleveland - A very scary place.
