Yeah he didn't get everything perfect, but he really experienced and captured what Cleveland is ... an underrated, livable city with great architecture, culture, parks, sports, and people. His videos tend to get a lot of views and attention.

Canal Basin Park Trailhead Nearing Completion POSTED ON DECEMBER 16, 2021 BY MERA CARDENAS https://canalwaypartners.com/canal-basin-park-trailhead-nearing-completion/

Some sort of temporary pedestrian alternative should have been mandated and built beforehand...this is completely unacceptable. Cleveland’s Center Street Bridge in the Flats to close for 10 months - ‘A total pain in the butt’ Updated: Dec. 17, 2021, 9:23 a.m. | Published: Dec. 17, 2021, 9:23 a.m. By Sean McDonnell, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio — A main artery between the west and east sides of the Flats will close in January for 10 months, leaving motorists with a 2.5-mile detour and pedestrians with no shorter option. The Center Street Bridge, known informally as the “swing bridge” and recognizable from its red color, will undergo work through late October, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. Construction is expected to start Jan. 3. Mike Miller, owner of the Music Box Supper Club on the west side of the river, said he just started seeing signs about the closing. “It’s happening and it’s going to be a total pain in the butt,” Miller said. “It practically eliminates the ability to walk from the east bank to the west bank.” https://www.cleveland.com/business/2021/12/clevelands-center-street-bridge-in-the-flats-to-close-for-10-months-a-total-pain-in-the-butt.html

Interesting read...I've always felt like Peninsula, OH should / could be a tourist draw being on the border / entrance to a National Park...like a Red Lodge, MT or Estes Park, CO...dare I say Gatlinburg, TN. A blessing or a curse? National park’s presence key to Peninsula’s identity, but also fuels challenges Updated: Dec. 04, 2021, 10:26 a.m. | Published: Dec. 04, 2021, 9:12 a.m. By Robert Higgs, cleveland.com PENINSULA, Ohio – This tiny village of fewer than 600 people is facing an existential crisis, at the heart of which is the very asset that makes it a unique Northeast Ohio destination – the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Among the nation’s most popular national parks and widely considered a gem of the region, Cuyahoga Valley will soon expand its footprint, thanks to the recent sale of a 207-acre golf course in the village. Park officials say the property is an important part of the park’s long-term plan for improved public access and habitat restoration. Peninsula bills itself as the “Gateway to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.” Portions of the 33,000-acre park cover more than half the village, and thousands of people visit the town each year as a result of that proximity. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2021/12/a-blessing-or-a-curse-national-parks-presence-key-to-peninsula-s-identity-but-also-fuels-challenges.html

Look at that crazy Cleveland traffic!! :) (For the grand opening)

We’ve had several similar out of state hires where I work as well. In the past 2 months, we’ve hired people from Chicago, Asheville, Philadelphia, and Missouri. All have relocated to the near westside or are in the process. And one new hire from Texas moved to Lakewood.
