Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video/Marissa and Kevin

By Marissa DeSantis & Kevin Hornsby.

We made this for Positively Cleveland's contest. Admittedly not funny like Mike Polk's awesome videos, but we had a good time showing some positive elements of the city.

Wonderful video. I'd really like to see a list of all the places you featured -- I grew up here, recently moved back, and never knew many of those places existed!

[stdesantis]

Hi there, sir! I just added a list of the places we featured in our video in the description. We shot at so many places, but we only had time to feature our favorites!

[spiterod]

Nice job. Does anyone know where that bubble tea place was? Was that bubble tea?

[stdesantis]

If you're referring to the shot of me shoving a straw into a cup, that's a milkshake and it's at Tommy's in Coventry. Those are the best milkshakes ever.

My favorite places to get bubble tea in the Cleve are at Phoenix Coffee and Phenom Phen on W 25th.

Thanks for watching and rating, everybody! We made it into the top five and we're very grateful.

You made me smile a few times. The west side needs to represent a little more though :) nice work!

[stdesantis]

I love your username!

[whornsby]

I love video and the song is awesome! Go Cleveland!

[RalphDe1]

Awesome video. It makes one proud to be from Cleveland!

@KingR3aper Nahh the area's board of turism wanted something to bring people in, sorta like what Michigan has been doing if you see those commercials where you live. Kinda back fired though huhh painting a very negative image of Cle

[KingR3aper]

@rawproductions08 Really? I thought itw as the other way around.

[rawproductions08]

@KingR3aper the origanal video was made for a contest about who could make the best positive video. The film maker did it as a joke when he heard about the contest.

Drinking PBR at an IRISH bar? Pathetic ....

[manofmonocles]

Where are both of the buildings?

[KingR3aper]

LOL, I don't know what is more embarassing -

Having the ORIGINAL hastily made video bash Cleveland,

or actually making something the OPPOSITE because they're scared of that video hurting tourism.

...or having black character on Family Guy named cleveland.

[bubbaclubba22]

We're not Detroit!!!!

[PistoldPete]

Sad and pathetic. But at least you idiots didn't use an MSB song.

[bboymixer691]

C'mon everyone! Pack up your shit and move to Average Town USA! They have what any other city has! People! Places to eat! Shitty art!

But what truly sets Cleveland apart? They ACTUALLY think they're special!

[brandonplaysguitar16]

You can do all this shit in just about any north american city.......
