October 11, 20168 yr On msn.com today and they have a slideshow that lists the states and gives one impressive fact. Funny when it came to Ohio, it mentions Cleveland and the world's first traffic light system, but it has a picture of a Cincinnati street. You will see the hill in the background and Cleveland is flat, then you have the street car tracks and electric poles. It gave me a good laugh. Follow the link or just look at the pic. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/one-impressive-fact-about-every-state-in-the-us/ss-BBwZOqx?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=U220DHP#image=35
October 11, 20168 yr Lol! Man, Cleveland always gets screwed over whenever its mentioned in articles. Like when the CMA appeared as #2 on the list of best Museums in America. All of the other descriptions explained their vast and valuable collection, then when they got to Cleveland at #2, it was just, "yeah, they have a replica of The Thinker - remember back in the 70s when someone blew it up?" That picture is so blatantly Cincinnati, too. It has the streetcar track (the only city in Ohio where you'll see that,) the hills, 5+ story Italianate buildings with fire escapes...the fact that it's a narrow, one way street. That picture couldn't look any more like Cincinnati unless there was a Skyline Chili billboard and there is no possible way that picture could pass for a street in Cleveland.
October 12, 20168 yr You don't even have to get that detailed in the differences, we simply don't even have traffic lights that are placed in that orientation.

October 19, 20168 yr no comment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7Mqnjhhvk I have one. The guy is a complete idiot. Dangerous cities lists are obviously stupid but I would be curious to see a "most dangerous neighborhoods" list. It would be a lot more relevant. I'm actually surprised East Cleveland wasn't ranked closer to 1.

November 6, 20168 yr Half of those tweets could have simply been quoting Donald Trump, haha! It's probably not very likely that they've developed an algorithm that could effectively consider things like context, sarcasm, or the gender / sexual orientation / race of the person using each derogatory variable. The anti-gay tweet rankings look pretty legit though, except for Buffalo being at the top (especially in comparison to a place like Bakersfield.) Maybe I'm wrong. Is Buffalo really as ignorant as these rankings tend to make it out to be? I don't know... overall it seems pretty accurate to me. At least from my personal experience and what I've heard others say. Although Madison, WI is one of the most liberal places on earth, I absolutely think it's also one of the most anti-black cities. Actually, it probably deserves to be #1 or #2 on that list.
November 6, 20168 yr Find it interesting but not surprising that majority of the Anti-Hispanic tweets came from areas that have booming hispanic populations.

Debate? https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/12/world-most-admired-and-trusted-cities well, the first thing that jumps to mind is that none of those places have a military or are in the least bit capable of defending themselves. lucky for them uncle sam has had their back for the past 150 years. is that reputable or admirable? i guess not, otherwise places like new london, ct. or manassas or someplace around quantico, va. would be the most admirable and reputable cities. if countries like those listed actually payed the protection money they truly owe i bet they would be quite a bit more strained. just imagine what we could do with all that extra loot if we did not have to play world police? maybe we could even have nice things and nicer cities. or there would be world chaos or something.

Even though Tokyo is the safest city in the world if you're a Europhile responding to this survey you'll pretend Copenhagen is. Edit: From the article: On top of trust, esteem, admiration and respect, cities are also rated on their economy, business environment and the efficiency of their administration. My bad, they aren't even looking at safety. Yeah, you could put cities in any order with those categories. Then I look and see that there are only 55 cities ranked and Seattle, a smaller city, is on the list. This tells me the survey excluded a lot of larger population centers making it less global and more selective.
February 8, 20178 yr "Reputability" and "level of trust" are just really idiotic criteria. It's a junk science way to put a seemingly quantifiable score on a list of cities the authors like best. It's certainly a list that is deserving of the title of this discussion thread.

March 9, 20178 yr ^ Brookings always does a nice report, even if you want to quibble with some assumptions and estimates. I wonder how Cleveland would have looked if 2010 and 2011 were dropped from the data. Cleveland's best growth in about every measure came late in the 2010-15 period.

Maybe they are not considered towns.... Gates Mills only has 2k people... don't you need 5k people to be considered a city? The list might technically be right. The areas in Ohio that we perceive to be extremely wealthy are just neighborhoods or specific sections of suburbs. Not within real municipal boundaries. I thought Bay Village would make the list but the average household income in Bay Village is only $70k a year. It's also pretty big (15k people) so more likely to be inclusive. Indian Hill only has 5k people so it's just barely considered a city. Shaker Hts. is similar in household income to Bay Village and has I think 30-40k people but there's obviously a huge difference between houses by Shaker Lakes (what comes to mind for most people) vs any other area of Shaker. Bexley, OH and Hyde Park and certain areas that surround it in Cincinnati would also blow these places out of the water if boundaries were drawn differently. It's funny how Beverly Hills never comes close to being number one on these lists. I bet if you did a survey, most Americans would still expect it to be number 1, at least in California.

I don't know why it would make a difference for the purpose of that article though. In Ohio, we have cities, villages, and townships. Seems like the ranking uses 'town' for what we consider a 'city.'
March 29, 20178 yr Interesting list- note that since it's an average one or two outliers with huge incomes can really affect the numbers. By guess is that's why Indian Hill is on the list with Silicon Valley and NYC-someone is skewing the average (not that it's a poor place to begin with.) www.cincinnatiideas.com

Oh those darn socialist republics of California and New York and their bootie-clad Golden Doodles!
March 29, 20178 yr ^Well, in Atherton's case and much of Silicon Bay, we're talking libertarians, not liberals or socialists. This was Hillary country, not Bernie country. "Those damn socialists!" is heard quite often in the Bay lol. You also hear a lot of "Those damn overpaid schoolteachers!" This is coming from Democrats...DINO limousine liberals. I mean hell, "bootstrapping" is one of the Bay's favorite terms to describe startups. "Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, America, and stop complaining about tech taking your jobs!" Many Americans make the mistake of thinking the Bay is still liberal. That train left the station a long time ago. It's much more of a "I got mine! Screw you!" type of place than liberal Great Lakes cities (more socialist and union oriented) or Northeastern cities (less NIMBY, more progressive). *Liberalism is not what made the Bay rich, and certainly not Atherton. Ruthless capitalism is what made the Bay rich...hence the tax situation at companies like Apple and other Bay Area giants. And just look at Uber... **Liberal California is more Sacramento and Hollywood. Though even LA seems to have growing libertarianism as tech booms in Venice...

They were pretty relentless when I first signed up. That's awesome. Sounds like you have a really cool job and you're in the right place for it. Azure is Microsoft's answer to Amazon (AWS) and cloud infrastructure management. I think it's a combination of a few things ... 1. There's momentum. A couple of tech startups became successful and people in their network saw that it could be done. 2. Crossroads has an extremely aggressive incubator/mentoring/entrepreneur program called Oceann. At one of their latest events, they had Daymond John speak, from Shark Tank. http://oceanaccelerator.com/ 3. It seems like everyone's working as one large network to accomplish a single goal and that is to put Cincy on the map and promote their ideas. 4. A lot of the upper management from some of the local startups came from large corporations, i.e. P&G, is a great example. So they have the know-how in being a successful leader. Side note, many of Crossroads leadership staff came from large organizations, including Chuck Mingo the 2nd in command to Brian Tome. 5. Just great ideas, right ... Take Lisnr for instance ... this technology has the ability to really change things on a global scale. I'm in my mid 30's now and having spent 15+ years in wireless I remember when people were like "what's Bluetooth?" ... Now we're shocked if a device doesn't have Bluetooth.
