You haven't been to Cleveland in a long while, or have you ever been? I could tell you about the national park on the city's doorstep, the NASA research facility where my daughter interned, the world class museums, a symphony orchestra normally ranked third or better in the world, the fraction-of-any-similar-size-northern-city cost of living, the number one cardiac hospital on the planet (two former kings of Saudi Arabia used to fly in and take a secured floor for weeks of surgery and post-op), the forests surrounding the city and the metro park system within, about a dozen colleges and universities within 20 miles of downtown, some of the best suburban and private schools in the country, etc. But hey, I'm sure where you live is just perfect.

Back to sports, there are only two cities with sports fans who can appreciate how we felt before tonight and how we feel now. And those are fans of the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. We can tell the former to keep trying and never lose hope. And the latter knows what it's like to go from Bill Buckner to being down three games and winning four straight from the Yankees to reach and sweep the Series. Of course, those cities had other championships, in football, basketball, and hockey. We didn't, so for us this is really sweet and we're going to enjoy it for a long while.

Well said katana....you forgot some incredible restaurants too! Cleveland has it going on....people can talk about us all we want, we are the ones living in great homes that don’t cost an arm and a leg and live next to great neighbors while they live in 1400 sq ft for 960k...LOL

Exactly! We deserve it and we are going to savor the moment.

Congrats for winning Cleveland. Also the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I have been, thus I know from where I speak. Cleveland is a craphole. It's the mistake by the lake. The best thing about Cleveland is driving through it on my way to somewhere else, which I've done quite often over the past 30 years.
