Here's another thing that has made Cleveland bring back its nickname "Mistake on the Lake".

Known fact...the guy who made this vid is from Cleveland, should he be the one called "Drew Carey from Hell"? If so...then I'll have to make a few changes.

There are elements of truth there - not all of Cleveland is like that. I do have to admit I did crack up at the song.

I was in Cleveland once abt. 15 yrs ago & I thought it was decent enough. Not the most beautiful city I've ever been in but certainly not the ugliest. I think this video is very biased cause there are some very nice attractions/neighborhoods in Cleveland like The Rock & Roll Museum and a very beautiful suburb (?) Shaker Heights.

And, finally, if this guy felt so compelled to make a lame hissy fit video of Cleveland WHY is he living there?

I don't think Cleveland has any more (or less) drifters than any other major city, but what do I know??

If you mean homeless, I'm sure my city, NYC, trumps them all. What I don't understand is this guy's bashing of Cleveland....the city has its plusses too, which he conveniently left out.

And not everyone who's poor rides the bus. I ride the bus...just because I can't afford a car right now, but there's a Vicar at my church who rides the bus more than I do...and he lives in Shaker Heights!

Indeed. I'm not poor and I take the bus all the time. In NYC the rapid transit is pretty decent. Also NYC is so densely populated its silly to have a car there anyways.

And, if I remember correctly, Cleveland has a nice rapid transit system too. I remember I got a train from beneath the Terminal Tower to go to Shaker Hgts.
