...I know, you haven't had enough of the Cleve. Don't worry, there's more...

* Cleveland is a big port city. Hm, didn't know that.

* If you randomly email a Medillian about a job, and become fast e-mail friends, and contine e-mailing for about a month, and keep tabs on the job situation in Cleveland, and agree with newfound Ohio friend that a trip to the Cleve is in order, and you still take a job at a daily anyway, and your friend SM decides to go with you, and you two meet said Medillian and some of his friends, you will all hit it off instantly and have a great, random time and you will pay for.....nothing. None of the dinner. Or drinks.

* The Cleve is unlike many cities in that it's shockingly clean. (And not like the shock that comes with discovering Chicago is a clean city. Chicago is "clean" because, well, everyone compares it to NYC which, let's face it, is a shithole. A great city, but a shithole.) No, the Cleve is like, pristine. No trash blowing aimlessly in the wind. No apparent homeless asking for money. Zero potholes. And I swear I don't think I even saw any tire skidmarks. Just...clean.

* Browns Stadium - which from what I can gather hasn't seen a whole lot of football magic in recent years - is gorgeously situated overlooking the Cuyahoga River. Shame.

~ Closing thought: All of these key differences made the Cleve great for what it is and not what it isn't. If there's anything I can't stand, it's people who visit new states or cities and complain that they're not like this, or not like that. Well ya know what, that's exactly what makes them fun/different/exciting.

Variety, people. It's the spice of life.
