There are many things about the area I absolutely love. The metroparks are awesome. There is lots to do if you get out there and find it. Wonderful food (except no real barbeque - Hot Sauce Williams is not real bar-b-que!) Beautiful drives to take into different counties, Lake Erie is great, go to Sports and Concerts venues, Playhouse Square is a gem, lots of colleges, pleasant weather in my opiion except for a few months of the year - BUT - BUT the real worst part of it all is it's inhabitants. What happened to midwestern hospitality? Where are the smiles? No one says hello or even waves-just gawks at you. I am white but I will say that the only people who have smiled or talked to me have been in the African American Community and again I am very white! One things I get a lot is - Oh did you go to Catholic School??..uh no I didn't go to St Igs. What am I Holden Caulfield over here? So Clevelanders start smiling, be helpful, invite a stranger to dinner - be kind - perhaps your ranking will change! Hardest city in America to make a friend -I've been around more kind folks in New York for crying out loud!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-17493380120465898722010-02-27T21:22:05.257-05:002010-02-27T21:22:05.257-05:00Hey Anonymous,
Please learn to distinguish "...Hey Anonymous, <br /><br />Please learn to distinguish "your," which is a possessive pronoun, and "you're," which is a contraction of you and are. McBone does not tolerate bad grammar from would-be doctors.<br /><br />As for your comment, Cleveland does not want you, need you or care about you.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />nwbBillBow Bagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123342571761657374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-14162212677224272762010-02-27T20:39:21.969-05:002010-02-27T20:39:21.969-05:00Cleveland fucking sucks.

More opportunity in Cleveland than there has been 40 years. <br /><br />Darin's Girl. I will certainly check out any TV show that potrays Cleveland as the Midwest gem that it is.<br /><br />CJ - McBone has plans to hold a McBone friends, family and followers reunion at some point in the future. Hopefully we can meet then.<br /><br />I choose not to get my blood boiling this early on a Sunday in response to your Wade/Bryant comment, but I'll be sure to point back to it in June after the NBA finals.<br /><br />Go Cavs<br />JBBillBow Bagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123342571761657374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-32261968846794694052010-02-21T04:45:23.677-05:002010-02-21T04:45:23.677-05:00I agree, Cleveland is under-appreciated.

LOVE Cleveland's lakefront-- everything's right there. I do disagree on one thing though... hate to say it but Kobe and D. Wade are far better than 'Bron.
