Cleveland, Ohio. The very name used to bring sneers to the face of non-Clevelanders. But I’ve found that what people used to call “The Mistake on the Lake” is a very desirable place to live. Cleveland homes are available in all sizes and styles and in every price range. In Cleveland homes for sale are available all over town.

My favorite thing about the city is that it is made up of actual neighborhoods. If you motor along many of the city streets, you see that they are lined with old buildings containing little shops. These little shops consist of restaurants that aren’t a part of any national chain and little shops that sell things you just don’t find in the mall. There are book shops and karate schools and small groceries.

Another attraction is the diversity. It is a city of wonderful ethnic variation. The faces you meet cover the full range of human colors, and have roots in countries in all parts of the world. And these neighborhoods reflect this diversity. The same little neighborhood may have a Lebanese restaurant; a Russian grocery store; and Joe’s, a familiar American burger joint. The Russian grocery store is particularly interesting. There’s no pretense involved. It’s truly Russian. Oriented toward the local Russian population, every label, whether on a canned good or a piece of fresh pork, is in Russian. It’s also full-service, with a complete meat counter and frozen food section. In a neighborhood a few miles away there is a small, old-fashioned neighborhood theater. This neighborhood also has a fascinating little shop that sells novelty and retro items such as old lunch boxes, bald wigs, and scary bugs.

The cultural aspect of Cleveland is rich with opportunities. The Cleveland Museum of Art is a place where art lovers and art haters can come together to enjoy the beauty. Outside the museum is the charming statue of the Turtle Baby. Inside is an open area full of shining armor. (But don’t try to take any photos of the armor. The No-No Man will let you know it’s forbidden.) The Cleveland Orchestra is a world famous symphony orchestra that has been led by a string of conductors who will live on in music history. Whether you enjoy a concert in Severance Hall or the Blossom Music Center, you will have an evening of musical enjoyment.

If you’re not a fan of classical music, you can go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This facility gives you many reasons to like it. You’ll love the location. It is situated on the shore of beautiful Lake Erie. The second is its avant-garde architecture. It adds a beautiful, modern look to the skyline of Cleveland. But tourists visiting the Hall of Fame don’t go there for the view of the lake or a study of architecture. They are there to ROCK AND ROLL. Every floor is crammed full of important rock and roll memorabilia. To me, a girly girl, the most exciting display is of the collection of costumes worn by famous rockers in their most memorable concerts.
