Bing's homepage normally shows a different image everyday and when I went to the Bing website it showed a picture of Cleveland's skyline. I was just wondering if that showed up for everyone or is it just based on your location. Sorry if someone else posted this anywhere else.

I saw it today on Bing too.

Could they not bring up the river burning for once? Jesus H. Christ!!!

We should embrace the river fire.  And with it, we should claim Earth Day as our own.  We just had citywide recycling bins delivered last month.  The local food thing is already going.  Greenspace?  Do we ever have greenspace.  Put that all together into a marketing hook.  Better than "we're near Akron," which is what the current effort amounts to. 

I rarely use Bing.  I just happened to use it today (sort of by accident) and I did in fact see that picture.  Since I almost never use it, I figured that the picture was somehow based on the site knowing my location.  It would be really cool if everyone using Bing around the world were seeing the same thing, though!

I agree. Let it die already. Its been a long time since that day. And we weren't the only city to have our river catch on fire and it wasn't the only time ours did as well. It has hurt the cities image enough. If we stop using it and calling ourselves, "the mistake on the lake" maybe future generations will never know of that Cleveland.

I'm in Ithaca, NY and It's Cleveland from here :D

My thoughts were that there are more appropriate versions of that same shot to be had.  I don't use Bing regularly but the impression that stayed with me was of the type of images they use.  This particular photo feels out of place and I think it's because it's pretty grainy compared to their usual stuff.

I agree. The river is part of our history, and marks a significant turning point in the green movement. The techniques used in the Cuyahoga are the model for cleaning up polluted waterways nationwide. Plus, while that happened 40+ years ago, we did clean it up. Compare that to Lake Onondaga in Syracuse (which has balls of mercury rolling around the bottom of the lake...literally one of the most polluted bodies of water in the US), or the Hudson River, with PCB's coating the riverbed, among others. We should be proud of what came of that event, and how we've driven change.
