October 18, 20195 yr I normally view these DCA videos as something between advertisement and fluff pieces. However, this video is particularly interesting given the anticipated developments coming over the next decade. At the end of the video do I view downtown Cleveland with a penciled in nuCLEus, City Club Apartments, RealLife Tower and the big tamale.. the Sherwin-Williams HQ? Maybe or maybe not.. another well done video by DCA nonetheless.

He completely refinished the front of his house with faux brick and set up a haunted schoolyard filled with skeleton nuns and children!

That meant a babysitter for me which was heaven or hell. I either had the freckle faced next door neighbor who we all despised or the smoking hot Hawaiian 6th grader who I adored. I'd be asleep by the time my folks arrived home. I stayed at the same hotel a few years ago and neither of the bartenders had any idea what i was talking about when I mentioned the disco. Sad.

The one skit I remember I know for sure would not air now centered around a pediatricians office with a bunch of moms feeding their babies... one had chocolate milk. Sort of a play on some of the old Little Rascals bits. "Big Chuck" Schlodowski could even get away with telling them as Polish jokes out in public, back then. "Certain Ethnic" was as much a parody of the complainers as anything else. Jeff and Flash used it a lot as well.

I heard on the radio (via road closures) that they are filming a movie on the west side. Its all coming together! ?
November 5, 20195 yr ^ Ah. We saw a helicopter Saturday morning, nose pointing down doing tight circles around Industrial Valley way. We assumed it was some kind of aerial inspection, maybe of power lines, or one of the factories, but that makes more sense! My hovercraft is full of eels
November 5, 20195 yr They'll say cgi for pink skys in the over lake shot ? It was real though, they lucked out big time that morning.

November 13, 20195 yr Ken, you're exactly right.....but even as expensive as it it, every time I visit an east coast city I come back with so much envy. SOOOO much to do, so many people on the sidewalks, so much activity. But I'll take what I pay for my apartment over what they pay in Boston every day!!!
November 14, 20195 yr I envy the activity level, but I don't envy the variety of things to do. I do envy the quantity but that's to be expected in a larger city. Yes, New York may have 10 great Ethiopian or Georgian or Mandarin restaurants but Cleveland has at least one or two of each. Philadelphia may have some great museums and theaters, but I'll put ours up against theirs anytime. Boston may have five outstanding seafood restaurants atop an ocean cliff with great city views, but I know of at least one here. I think that also applies to other things like river and lake entertainment, beachfront amenities, neighborhood festivals, wintertime activities and so on.

This is exactly my wife and I are moving back. Cleveland has the amenities you don’t typically see in a city of its size, more than enough to keep us busy. Cost of living, however, let us take jobs with a better work life balance and still have money to travel.

November 22, 20195 yr Although travel articles like this have gushed over Cleveland for the last 5 years or so, I still find myself reading them in part because I’m happy with how far we’ve come.

There is a bit more of a “buzz” in Austin that Cleveland will just never have, but there is also something about the nature of Austin that has just never really sat well with me. I lived in NYC for a decade before my recent move to ATX, and maybe I’m just a hardened and cynical Midwesterner/East Coast liberal elite, but there is just too much pretense in the Texas capital. It just felt so inauthentic which really surprised me since Austin is supposed to be so “weird”. But I guess after spending 10 years riding the subway, nothing seems weird at all anymore. I do miss queso with every meal and the ability to go outside in February though.

I feel like you did. I also feel like I did when I lived there! I’m sure it was an incredible place before it started to blow up in the late 90’s as my parents have great memories of living there when my dad was stationed in the city while in the Air Force in the 70’s. It just doesn’t seem very unique or interesting anymore. But again, I just moved back and spent a ton of time living in New York so I probably just never gave it a fair shake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Cleveland def has it all over Austin for cultural amenities, architecture, cost of living, and traffic. But I would take some of that downtown street life, and good lord do I miss those tacos. I wish there was one place in Cleveland that had decent breakfast tacos (don’t @ me with La Plazas, it’s not the same).
November 22, 20195 yr @bumsquare we totally agree. I guess inauthentic wasn’t totally the correct term, but it did just feel like it didn’t have any grounding. It sort of felt like when a “Bachelor” is on Dancing With The Stars. That’s the best analogy I can come up with at the moment. But you are correct. God I miss breakfast tacos. But I also miss sausage egg and cheese on a roll from any corner NYC bodega. Plus we all know that if you want the best tacos in Austin you simply hop in the car and drive an hour south to San Antonio ?. Enough about Austin. This just goes to say that while Cleveland will never have the reputation that Austin has, I feel like it is a much better fit for me personally as I am just not the “Austin” type I guess. I just love being back in The Land and am so glad I chose CIM as an excuse to get back up here.

Serious question, what is stopping you from going outside, in Cleveland, in February? The weather is not the issue, as a four season city, there are plenty of things to do, especially if you're a winter weather/sports enthusiast. Edited November 23, 20195 yr by MyTwoSense

You can dine al fresco, go hiking, and just generally be outside all winter in Austin. You have to live like a shut-in from June-October but winter is great. Although I will take Cleveland summer over Austin winter.
