    The Economist rated Cleveland number one once and it's a reputable source. The others you posted would be like me starting a blog and proclaiming Clinton, Ohio has the sexiest county in the country. Forbes, The Economist and a few others that rate routinely. Pittsburgh has pulled it down twice. Either way it doesn't begin to matter because everyone has their own opinion and if you're happy with where you live that's all that matters.

    Thank you! Could Cleveland and NE Ohio be better? ABSOLUTELY! Am I happy for the most part? Yes. My biggest gripe is the weather, which is why I said that I wouldn't move to another cold weather city unless it was Chicago or NYC. Cold is cold, and while some cold weather cities get less snow than Cleveland, it's still cold. Speaking of weather, I really can't complain about this past Spring, and so far Summer. It has been absolutely wonderful. Aside from the fact that football is played in the Fall, the end of May through the end of July is my absolute favorite time of year.

  • Bottom line on all this is that between the two cities Pittsburgh is in way better shape. Both have been massively screwed by Republican Politics by shipping Americas wealth building infrastructure overseas while spending all our monies on useless wars and massive increases in military spending of course both with no benefit to either since the infrastructure was outsourced.

    Good reason for both cities to keep voting republican.........DUH........Pittsburgh has done a better job of working in high tech........which still has not been exported

    in any case we are where we are.............a nation sending jobs away.........and demanding they be recreated out of thin air

    sorta like fantasy land in disney

    meanwhile the bickering about which sister city is not a turd is rediculous.............as both slowly become road kill as America commits itself to destroying itself

    He's not incorrect in that regard and it does fit in to the discussion to a point. Outsourcing is a huge problem and Pittsburgh has sustained the recession because of all the up and coming green technology and the medical industry. Other commodities play a factor as well. Either way if anyone actually took the time to take the colored glasses off I'm sure most would really enjoy the city of Pittsburgh. Most of my friends that are Browns diehards say they are "ashamed to admit" that they really like Pittsburgh after giving it a chance. Do I care if anyone here does? No but seeing as the city is so close you're really doing yourself a disservice but not checking it out in greater detail. A good friend of mine came in to town from Jacksonville. He was born and raised in Strongsville, Ohio. We went down town with my sister and mom. My gf was also with us and we walked for Autism. (My sister is a grad student at Duquense preparing to be a teacher in special education.) Anyway Jason was wearing his Browns hat and a pair of Browns custom Oakley's. He got harassed but it was friendly and we actually ran in to a few Cleveland imports that weren't flying the colors that day.

    Either way too each their own.

    You forget Cleveland is ALSO noted for it's world class health care and medical facilities. Ever hear of the Cleveland Clinic? Anyway, like I said, I've been to Pittsburgh, and don't mind the city. I just couldn't see myself living there.

    Go back in the archives and I think you will find that Forbes has probably named Cleveland one of the best cities to live in as well.

    Their job is to sell magazines/advertizing and in an effort to do so create a little controversy.

    The area that I follow this more closely is in the College rankings. Forbes is in a contest with US New and World Report on that scope. While some schools will routinely rank in the top, like your Princetons, Harvards, Williams, Amhersts, Stanfords, Dukes etc. they will occasionally throw in a curver by ranking say, Centre College in Kentucky as one of the best 10 schools in America. One of them put a couple of the Ivy League schools outside of the Top 100. That ruffled a few feathers.

    So, you see, none of these rankings are set in stone...and one year a town or a school is up, and the other it is down. Kind of like a sports team.

    The Cleveland Clinic is a great hospital. Although that wasn't what I was talking about. I was talking about medical advancement and medical supplies which Pittsburgh produces. It's one of the major industries in the Pittsburgh area.

    And SJ learn how to f.ucking read. You're always thanking people that miss the point. I'm not trying to be a dick to DJ but he did miss the point and you go around blindly thanking people like a dip sh.it.

    Depends on the Sports team. The Pens nor the Steelers are going anywhere near that bottom for a good long while and Pittsburgh has been on the up and up for a while. Remember there are flash in the pans and actual trends. Pittsburgh is following the latter.

    That said, I would rather spend a winter in Cleveland than a summer in Miami. Which is why Chris Bosh's refusal to come to Cleveland to play with LeBron is a joke. It says this about him: he is not serious about his work. His main interest was in the "party" atmosphere he would be living in. Working hard at his game and winning was clearly not important enough to him, partying was.

    I honestly don't. I like the west side market and playhouse square. Otherwise the city in my opinion is completely forgettable. The flats used to be nice but they quickly went down hill. I'm not sure if there has been a resurgence there or not but the last time I was there the flats were really on the decline.

    I mostly agree with that you are saying....I wouldn't want to live in Miami anytime, but he won't have to live in Miami during the summer months.

    BB players have to live in their teams city during the NBA season, which is mostly the winter months, and Miami might be just a wee bit nicer in February that it is in Cleveland.

    I am sure that if he finds the Miami summers warmer than he likes, he probably already has a pretty nice place in Toronto for the hot weather months.

    Yes it's ashame the city of Cleveland let the Flats go to hell. It was a huge draw for not only NE Ohioans, but for folks in the region. I remember in the 90s and even early 00s driving through there and seeing all of the out of town license plates. The Flats has not been restored as of yet, however; the proposal is for a combination of condos, offices, restaurants and bars to be built on the east bank. There hasn't been much movement on the project, however; if they're smart that is where they should put the casino. Furthermore, I would consider a floating casino as well. At any rate we still have The Warehouse District which is going strong, and E 4th as viable entertainment districts. Not the Flats, but definitely not bad. There are also plans for the restoration of the Euclid corridor, in which they have already added a busline and did significant road work. We also have the Rock Hall, and Science Museum as well as a world class orchestra and one of the best arts districts in the country. Add to the mix, Tremont, Little Italy, and places like Chagrin Falls, as well as being about an hour from the NFL HOF and an hour from the greatest amusement park (for thrills) in the country. Yeah, I think we're pretty OK in my book. Sure there are a number of things that I would do better, but nothing is perfect.

    Science Museum is awful but Pittsburgh's is also equally boring most of the time. The rock hall is too damn expensive for what it is if you ask me but nice for a one and done type situation. I also wouldn't include the HOF or Cedar Point in the argument for Cleveland but yes both are awesome.
