This. 100%.

Its not. I get where he's coming from. If you want a modern Downtown you don't want an industrial relic in the photos. I'd recommend keeping the old building if its not in the way of some taller tower, but either way, remove the vertical smokestack.

I do too, but people say "Northeast Ohio" all the time when them mean Greater Cleveland--or even Cuyahoga County--or even Cleveland itself. Northeast Ohio is the area that includes Youngstown and Canton---but people often say it when the mean Cleveland and the surrounding burbs. It weakens Cleveland and it is probably led by suburbanites. Crain's had a great article on it a while ago, but its behind a paywall. Its also on the CFC site--I send this to people from time to time when I hear people saying NEO when they should be saying Greater Cleveland--I keep it bookmarked!: https://www.centerforcleveland.org/blog/please-stop-saying-northeast-ohio

Exactly why it makes no sense to splice up the Cleveland Fortune 500 list into sections---its all one big metro area!

The Fortune 500 list by city IS NOT a list by MSA; its a list by city. Akron---and Lakewood--and Solon are all part of Metropolitan Cleveland. Metropolitan Cleveland is made up of two different MSA's thanks to bad US policy. Akron is part of Metropolitan Cleveland, no question. Akron's economy and people are intertwined with the economy of Cleveland. People from Akron go to Cleveland restaurants, airports, sports events, concerts, etc. So the US Govt says that the Cleveland MSA must exclude parts of Metropolitan Cleveland doesn't mean we--who understand this region better than policy makers in DC---must blindly follow such nonsense. Akron is part of the Cleveland economy no question.

Yeah!!! We shouldn't try to grow. We should all root for Cleveland to get smaller and smaller and be a cute little quaint town--like Chagrin Falls!

"Stock values are said to reflect the expectation of future earnings" or hype. Tesla, WeWork, etc....

Canton is the obvious odd man out! Who wants to drive 60 miles when you Ai showed Burke was 1 mile away?

Your list makes Burke look like the best airport in the country---no other airport is as convenient.

Yeah, they're in Akron, but Akron (and all of Summit and Portage Counties) are part of Metropolitan Cleveland, which is the two MSAs to use government-speak.

Good point! That would put them here: 216 Parker-Hannifin - $19.1B 331 FirstEnergy - $12.5B

Yeah, I was referring to Burke. But how does a list of distances "show" "Hopkins can do the job of Burke w/o much affect in experience "? We'll definitely have more delays and stuff at Hopkins if all that other air traffic will be there from Burke. That impacts experience for sure. And for your own "distance" post, zero miles is certainly much further than 9 miles. You can walk to Burke, but you wouldn't walk 9 miles. If your plane leaves in 30 minutes, you could make it out of Burke, but with the distance to Hopkins and TSA line crowds (even with pre-ck or clear), you still wouldn't make your flight. That's a big change on experience.

That ChatGPT output is missing an obvious one!

Stock value isn't always truly telling of a company's real value. Based on market capitalization, wasn't Tesla recently worth like 200-300 times Ford and GM combined, despite producing far fewer cars worldwide? I like the use of revenue for the rankings---which is what Fortune does. The Center for Cleveland shows the revenue numbers for each of the Cleveland F500 firms. https://www.centerforcleveland.org/news
