Welcome to Cleveland
Does it or does it not rock? That is the question. Drawing from its roots as a working man's town, Cleveland has toiled hard in recent years to prove it does. Step one was to control the urban decay/river-on-fire thing – the Cuyahoga River was once so polluted that it actually burned. Step two was to bring a worthy attraction to town, say the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Step three was to clean up downtown's public spaces and add hip hotels and eateries. The gritty city has come a long way. Even LeBron James deemed it happenin' enough to return to.
