    Did I say that Cleveland needed to have a lakefront JUST LIKE CHICAGO identical to Chicago's? I said the city of Cleveland should utilize their lakefront LIKE is such a way that it benefits Cleveland, as did Chicago and Milwaukee for their respective cities.

    Those are some solid communication skills you have there Gorka...

    "I said the city of Cleveland should utilize their lakefront is such a way..."

    Or you could have said "IN such a way..." ?

    Thanks for trying, though.

    You tried so hard.

    Must be frustrating to try to get back at people only to have it blow up in your face. But good on you about the bridges and Pittsburgh. Gipper will be reeling when he reads that, I bet. ?

    You're the one who came onto this thread, only to obviously try to settle scores with those you feel bruised your ego on another thread.

    So yeah, I feel confident that lil' Gorka is flailing...

    That's a good possibility. I wouldn't be surprised at a few F bombs to come my way.

    I do. I also appreciated your comment about Pittsburg being the “City of Bridges” as well. I always knew it as the “Steel City”, and a quick google search confirms that but it also confirms it has an alternate nickname too. Interesting stuff. 

    I fairly recently learned there was a city in Maine nicknamed the “Queen City.” That of course is Cincy’s nickname too. Bangor, Maine.

    I'm sure Gipper can fend for himself without your support so you can take that cheerleader outfit off.

    Aren't we supposed to be discussing the issue with the lakefront? Why this incessant urge to start bickering.

    Maybe not, but I get that feeling that tearing down both the #1 baseball stadium in the country and First Energy at the same time is fodder for another Cleveland joke.  Not terribly old stadiums, modern and kept up to date are they not?

    I didn't know there was a second Queen City.

    You're from Cincy right?  A transplant or originally from there?

    Nor did l! Born and raised here. Browns fandom is a deeply seeded family thing. Back in grandpa’s day there were no Bengals and pretty much all of Ohio were Browns fans. Even within my lifetime nearby Dayton was considered “Browns territory” and would show Browns games on their CBS affiliate. Back in the day l had to stand on one leg with foil wrapped rabbit ears against a window to pick up their games, haha.

    Shucks. Since you are a true Cincinnatian, I don't get to offend you by letting you know that Cincinnati was once known as "Porkopolis" because of all the pigs that lived there, and still do LOL...actually because it was a pork producing center.

    Haha, yeah. I guess that’s Cincy’s secondary nickname. I’ve seen some funky black and white photos of pigs being herded through downtown. A family friend painted one of the flying pigs mentioned in that article.

    Already taken.  But I'm anticipating you're gonna come back with "Bridge City" different is from "City of Bridges" laced with a little profanity.

    We can't even beat Pittspuke in bridges.

    Affectionately known as the city of bridges, Pittsburgh boasts 446 bridges – more than any other city in the world, including Venice, Italy.

    I suppose they would have a lot of bridges, three rivers and all.  but, having been there, overall, their bridges are spread out.  Cleveland seems to have bridges on top of bridges.   Cleveland's array of bridges is more impressive, if you have ever been down through there.  Have you? 

  • @the-gipper said:

    One of THE most impressive things about the Cleveland Lake/Riverfront area are the incredible bridges that you see, be it the one you go over, or under, or just see in the distance.     The real nickname of the town should be "Bridge City".   They are so numerous I can't even put a photo of them on here.  Numerous photos would be required.

    Port Arthur is a complete shithole.  Scariest city in the US I have ever been.  The day I was there the only thing moving on the streets in the downtown area were cop cars and military vehicles.   Almost NO sign of life, at all.   Too bad, I thought it would be much more vibrant, perhaps a bit like Galveston. But not one bit.

    It's always been an oil town. Think Army town and the parallels are similar. Except P.A. produced Janis.

    I felt more like I was in like Hungary in the 50s when the Russians put down an attempt to liberalize.   But, I did go by Janis Joplin's house.  A very modest place.  A family lives there, and there is just a plaque out front.   It also produced Van Eidom.   Easy Street drummer.

    When did you go there, before or after hurricane Harvey in 2017? The whole place went under about 6 ft. of water just like most of Beaumont.

    December 2018.  What I saw had nothing to do with a hurricane, I don't think.
