October 11, 201410 yr Honestly this list is kind of silly, because there are thousands of neighborhoods in America that aren't substantially different than these ten. The essence of a dumb-a$$ list! :) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
January 1, 201510 yr #4 on another silly random negatory list! http://m.escapehere.com/destination/10-worst-cities-to-visit-in-the-united-states/4/
January 1, 201510 yr #4 on another silly random negatory list! http://m.escapehere.com/destination/10-worst-cities-to-visit-in-the-united-states/4/ I didn't read the whole list or the criteria (whatever nonsense they used to justify their listing), but the last sentence confused me. It almost made it sound like despite some of the rough patches the city has dealt with over the past half-decade, we still have a lot going on here.
January 2, 201510 yr #4 on another silly random negatory list! http://m.escapehere.com/destination/10-worst-cities-to-visit-in-the-united-states/4/ The Forbes most miserable city list didn't earn us the "Mistake on the Lake", that has been used to death for years (and needs to die). Secondly when did Cleveland become a rap/hip hop mecca?
January 2, 201510 yr ^Regarding hip-hop, there were very few groups bigger than Bone back in the 90's. Their sound was completely original and is pretty much used by most rappers nowadays. They continue to tour nationwide. Today there's MGK and Kid Cudi who are mainstream along with some underground acts which have the chance to shine. Having two (three counting Bone) national acts out of Cleveland doesn't necessarily make Cleveland a mecca, but it's good representation for the genre when most cities in the midwest have few, if any hip-hop artists who are mainstream.
January 2, 201510 yr I'm really confused by that list. I mean, Chicago is #5. Seriously? Then I read the first page. It sounds like they're trying to say that these are cities that people are avoiding based on reputation, but deserve a visit. If so, the headline should be "10 'Worst Cities' that you should visit in the United States". But the flaw in that logic, again, is that Chicago is #5. So either Chicago is a bad place to visit (which isn't true) or people are afraid to visit Chicago (which also isn't true). Either way, it's a crappy, poorly thought out list. Take it as a compliment. Cincinnati, Columbus, and Pittsburgh didn't make the cut apparently.
January 11, 201510 yr Look who landed at #21 on NYT's 52 Places to Go in 2015: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/01/11/travel/52-places-to-go-in-2015.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=pay&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&kwp_0=7647&kwp_4=56118&kwp_1=119966&_r=0
January 17, 201510 yr But Cleveland ranks as city hated most by an irrelevant publication that once covered biz news but now just a bitch-rag for a cranky oligarch. @Forbes: Cleveland, Ohio, ranks as the unhappiest place to work in the country: http://t.co/NL8Kx5n1hH "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
January 17, 201510 yr OMG why do I even click on that crap!?!? Miami?????? The traffic alone makes Miami MISERABLE to work in.
January 17, 201510 yr more forbes, where african americans are struggling: Where African-Americans Are Struggling Many of the metro areas at the bottom of our list are the once mighty manufacturing hubs where Southern blacks flocked in the Great Migration: last place Milwaukee, followed by Grand Rapids, Mich.; Cincinnati (50th); Pittsburgh (tied for 48th) Cleveland (47th) and Buffalo (46th). African-Americans in these old industrial towns earn on average $10,000 to $15,000 less than their counterparts in Atlanta. Self-employment rates are half as high as those in our top 10 cities.

Great list, I'm looking at Seattle, Portland, Atlanta and Washington D.C myself once I graduate college. I really wish Cleveland had some cooler shots of the city I know some exist, the one we had wasn't bad I want people to say "wow that city looks cool!" Also,UGH! I wish the description of what we have here was more detailed it seemed so bare lol. Great to see us on the list nonetheless!
March 23, 201510 yr 29 Cities All 20somethings Should Pick Up And Move To. http://t.co/dDmnAhzhNx Make sense #CLE is on list. Yours? There are very few cities I would consider aside from Cleveland. Minneapolis, Boston, NYC, Philley, Cinci, Denver, Seattle, Portland....and some of those are even questionable.

March 30, 201510 yr ^Possibly the most misleading list title I've seen so far. He uses the term "dreary" to describe a count of days with precipitation, wetness without precipitation, and cloudiness. If you look at his "least dreary" cities, they're all places where drought is a major issue like Phoenix, Vegas, and Southern California. Cloudiness and precipitation are good things!

You know how people are. They consider the least healthy things as the being most positive. Sun? Makes us feel happy, but isn't necessary to live and prolonged exposure is unhealthy. Rain? Yep, rainy days and Mondays may get you down, but your body is made mostly of water so there's a bit of a discrepancy there....

April 7, 201510 yr Five of the lowest-rated cities were in Ohio, including Youngstown, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton and Cincinnati. Youngstown area ranked worst community for well-being By Rebecca Sapakie, Media General Published: April 7, 2015, 12:20 pm Updated: April 7, 2015, 12:38 pm FRANKLIN, Tenn. (MEDIA GENERAL) – “Improving well-being has been shown to lower healthcare costs and increase worker productivity, in turn enhancing organizational and community competitiveness,” reported Healthways. Healthways partners with Gallup to produce this yearly report on well-being in communities across the United States. More than 176,000 people across the country are interviewed for the study through the last year. The report looks at five areas to determine the well-being of a community. Among the top 100 most populous areas in the U.S., Youngstown-Warren-Boardman was rated the lowest.

April 7, 201510 yr ^ 10. Cincinnati Median rent 2BR: $2,138 $2138---really? seems a little high... That number is wrong. The real number is around 1500.

May 9, 201510 yr The 16 Best Beer Cities in America 12. Cleveland, OH At the rate it’s going now, in 10 years Cleveland might soon have a serious shot at the top of every list of this type. The epicenter of the Rust Belt revival is making huge strides in local-sourced everything – especially beer. The Ohio City neighborhood is ground zero, with the infamous Great Lakes Brewing seeming to have birthed a small revolution in the area (Nano Brew and Market Garden are highlights), while outside the 'hood, the city’s other big dog – that’d be Fat Head’s – continues to expand. The smaller guys are making waves too, in the form of Indigo Imp’s small-batch open fermentation program or Bottlehouse’s small-batch experiments, which produce everything from IPA to chili-infused mead. https://www.yahoo.com/food/the-16-best-beer-cities-in-america-118131140061.html
May 9, 201510 yr ^ I thought CLE should be higher on the list, but looking at those other cities, well, moving up will be a tough road ahead.
May 12, 201510 yr Surprised Asheville only got 16th. Also surprised Philadelphia and Boston ranked as high as they did. Pittsburgh has a pretty underrated brewing scene, too.

July 10, 20159 yr In terms of lists of dumb-a$$ lists, that one ranks near the top. I don't even know where to begin.

July 10, 20159 yr Shocked that Wilmington made the list. But since there was science on their side, I can't refute.
July 10, 20159 yr Columbus is listed twice, spot #159 and #309. So if you are a fan of the COL, brag about #309, if not #159. Yep! Another dumb-a$$ list.
July 10, 20159 yr Liberty Township made the #1 place to live!!! It must be that Liberty Center development the whole nation is watching as a model for how to do development.
July 10, 20159 yr Their methodology is dubious enough, but their breezy, gleeful disdain for communities on the list is over the top. Look at the Website and the other lists -- the whole thing exists just to make fun of cities and states and regions.

August 5, 20159 yr Where the Hipsters Are: the Brooklyn of Every State Ohio Tremont (Cleveland) In now-trendy Tremont, perhaps one of the best examples of changing landscape is Prosperity Social Club. The place, which we even called a hipster oasis, is a '30s ballroom with bikes stacked outside and $2 tallboys inside. Also edging in on the bar scene is the Tremont Tap House, which reps 20+ taps and outdoor Monday movie nights. The combination record store-coffeehouse-art gallery is 10 minutes away, but you can’t be a Brooklynite without a vintage feathered hat, so grab one at Eclectic Closet Boutique first. https://www.yahoo.com/travel/the-brooklyn-of-every-state-125773642747.html
August 13, 20159 yr Ponder how these two rankings, released a day apart, may (or may not) be related: - Columbus Ranked 7th Least Religious City in The US: http://www.columbusunderground.com/columbus-ranked-7th-least-religious-city-in-the-us - Columbus Ranks #1 in Wage Growth in the US: http://www.columbusunderground.com/columbus-ranks-1-in-wage-growth-in-the-us
August 13, 20159 yr I think the bros taking over the Near West side could be viewed as good news. The hipsters will then move to some other neighborhoods and help improve that area.
August 13, 20159 yr If bro's are college graduates in their 20's with disposal income, then yeah, you'll see that everywhere in Cleveland. Mostly because 20-somethings go out a lot. The patrons seem pretty varied where I normally go. No more or less of any particular demographic. If Tremont is bro-haven, then the word "bro" lost all meaning, much like how "hipster" is used to describe anybody in their 20's with a beard.

Portland, Oregon How did Glenn compile the list? “This is the list of the top 15 least religious cities in America,” Glenn said. “These are the cities to avoid like the plague. And if you look at that list, these are the cities that already having trouble. We haven’t even hit the road bump.”
