Cleveland

Cleveland is a city that gets a lot of crap. Cleveland has sustained the careers of many middling comedians. I spent a week in Cleveland--last week, in fact--and though it appears much of what the comedians say is true, it is a unique and surprisingly dramatic place. At least the weather was dramatic.

As the storm raged offshore in Lake Erie, my coworker and I explored the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Christmas Story House, a late night comedy club, and tried to find the brighter side of this gritty, industrial city on the northern edge of the United States.

A little treat as I prepare a photo essay on...wait for it...CLEVELAND! All right, I did actually find some interesting pictures in Cleveland. Just think, tune in on Sunday for the Cleveland photo essay, and then You'll never have any reason to actually go there.
