Posted June 17, 200618 yr Theater and jazz in Ohio's rock 'n' roll capital by John Ross blog I e-mail I lived in and around Cleveland for 18 years, so I've heard all the jokes. A burning river. A dirty lake. Unlucky teams. Snowfalls in May. Like most natives of this gritty, historic and beautiful lakeside city, I take these jibes in stride, assuming that cruel jokesters the world over have never walked along the shimmering Cuyahoga at dusk, seen live jazz at the Boarding House or joyously embraced a strange biker when the Browns scored a lone field goal. Haters be damned, Cleveland has kept on keepin' on for more than 200 years. Here's a handy guide to making the most out of Ohio's most maligned (and my favorite) city.

June 19, 200618 yr Very nice and well-rounded review of Cleveland for beginners. What kind of publication is this?

June 20, 200618 yr A weekly like free times, just not so bitter If I remember correctly, the new Alive is inspired by Cin Weekly in Cincy. I wish we had a positive weekly like these two pubs in Cleveland -- and I'm a journalist! Sometimes you just want a little fluff. I hate reading Scene and the Free Times, which are full of negative bitching.
