Cleveland. right. According to wiki it's got 397,000 people. This is not even a city in my book. It's not a city with less than 3,000,000.

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound dismissive. My entire country is without a single city
Someone on another forum once described my hometown (Baltimore, MD)Not at all. A running gag in the US is that Cleveland is an awful place and we all have an inferiority complex.

As a C-towner, I know this video is bs, but it is also funny (some language used)
"we're not Detroit". Seriously, though, it is a good town. And I really miss polish boyshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=oZzgAjjuqZM
Some of us Cincinnati natives happen to love the accuracy depicted in these videos
Someone on another forum once described my hometown (Baltimore, MD)
as "the skankiest city in America outside of Detroit."
I took it as a compliment.
We Balti-Morons love our self-deprecating humor.
Like we don't have enough of a complex without the likes of YOU! I always wonder if that includes all the suburbs that are within 10 miles of downtown.
In all seriousness, people from the burb's (and I am one of them) often think of downtown as a mass gathering of thieves, murderers, and other ruffians. A lot of this comes from the fact that when the flight happened, most of my friends parents (or grandparents) told us that the reason they moved to the suburbs was because of the crime. I am not going to get into a Cleveland history lesson, but that is the case. I remember being a new driver, I think I had my license for about 2 weeks) and going downtown for a concert. Got terribly lost and spent 40 minutes driving in circles. I made it home and headed back again the next day. Drove around until I had my bearings and I have been driving down there ever since.
OP, you will be find. The food in Cleveland is awesome. Where will you be working?
Going to have to agree with Steve here, you're worrying over nothing.
Cleveland is pretty small potatoes, after a week you won't even notice all the people around you.
Baltimore is still quite charming, in its own special way. You have to know the good neighborhoods from the bad parts of town, and sometimes, they're just one block apart. But we Native Balti-Morons keep that secret to ourselves, and let the out-of-towners get all mixed up in the Tourist Traps and the overpriced, underperforming restaurants and bars. If you know where to go, you can have a helluva good time with very little out-of-pocket expense.What happened to "Charm City"?
I remember that incident ... for a long time, it was a local mystery as to who painted those signs. He was referred to as "The HON Man." After a few years, someone came forward and confessed to the deed, but there are doubters (like Me) that don't think he was The Real Deal.I remember once somebody had spray painted graffitti on an interstate exit sign that originally said "Baltimore next 4 exits" or something like that. The graffitti said, "That's BALMER, Hon!"
That's not Baltimore. We have our share of clique groups and closely-knit communities, like the thousands of Orthodox Jews that live in the NW corner of the city.I sailed with a guy who identified himself as a SMIB. Stands for "Southern Maryland In-Bred".
What about "Wouldn't it be good to see Art Modell run over by an RTA bus?"?Just don't say anything good about Art Modell.
