Mercedes-Benz Dealer Moves From Boston to Cleveland

Another http://www.CoolCleveland.com video exclusive.

Bernie Moreno lived a nice lifestyle in Boston until Mercedes-Benz asked him to open a dealership in the Cleveland Plus region. Never having lived here, he and his wife and four kids thought it would be a five-year assignment.

Instead, he fell in love with the place, along with his 10 employees who also moved their families from the East Coast. Now he tells Thomas Mulready of Cool Cleveland that he and his family enjoy boating on our lakes and rivers, exploring the fresh water playlands of Sandusky and the Put-In-Bay islands, with warm summer water that you can actually swim in, unlike the ocean that he was used to. They can now experience water skiing, jet skis, and unheard-of amenities such as dockside dining on the Vermillion River or at the Shoreby Club.

Speaking of dining, they thought they would find Applebee's, but didn't expect the nationally recognized chefs throughout the region. The kids spend time at the Nature Center at Huntington Reservation, doing sleepovers at the Great Lakes Science Center, and strolling the Cleveland Botanical Garden and the Rock Hall.

Being a sports fan, Bernie points out that in Boston, tickets to events are much more expensive than they are here, parking can cost as much as dinner, and the accessibility means you get home by the time you would have gotten to your car in a larger city. Bottom line: Bernie has made a huge investment in his business, and plans to make Cleveland Plus his permanent home.
