Cleveland
Who would have thought that it would take July 4th weekend to make me start to really love Cleveland. Perhaps it was the company, or the marvelous weather -- or maybe the amazing permanent collection at the Art Museum. Maybe it was brilliant wine at Lola's, with an amazingly smooth finish or a walk around the reflecting pool in front of the Museum. Maybe it was an amazing time at the Botanical Garden.
Maybe it was the collection; A number of Picassos, Rodin, Monets, Manets, Mondrians, Gauguins...
Or perhaps the fun splash of samplings at the Flying Fig -- Or perhaps a meandering walk through Ohio City. Whatever the reason, I really enjoyed the clear blue skies and beautifully cool weather. Firewarks were, of course gratis.
For whatever reason, I've found a whole host of little hideouts to spend afternoons and weekends.
Absolutely fabulous.
I knew this place had a love for art, but my appreciation of that appreciation has appreciated markedly...

Cleveland is wonderful in the summer. Glad you are getting out there and enjoying it. Would you like my guides to Cleveland? I forgot to give them to you last time you were n NY.
even though i've poo poo'd CLE in the past, the city definitely has its hidden charm to it.
Glad you've come to love the place He's placed you. Too bad for us in regards to having you back here. Hah.
how's the diversity factor? that was the one thing that kept me from letting Phil rank rainbow babies higher on his residency match list way back when...all the other things you mentioned, the resid prog sold us on + cheap cost of living. but I only saw college age asians while we were there.

It's beautiful, I agree! How was Chi-town?

Not so diverse... but it's better than what a first glance might suggest.
How's LALAland?
I still think CLE is charming in its own way after 3 years, boy has it been that long? Enjoy the city while you can
