People don't give my hometown area enough credit - it's suprising nice, and anyone who visits tends to agree that we have a very nice City and metropolitan area to live in. Culture is great, CWRU and CSU (the two big universities) are looking to become major partners in regenerating interest in the city beyond the rust belt days into the tech economy, and anyone who still thinks of it as the Mistake on the Lake is either from Pittsburgh :) or hasn't been to the city since the 70s.
