Cleveland's Looking Good

Song by Jay Rossi. Written and produced in 1986 and received airplay on several Cleveland radio stations, including 106 with John Lanigan and WMMS. This was a time when we weren't sure where the Rock Hall of Fame was going to go yet, but it was down to Cleveland or New York. Also, the Browns were very hot! The 'Cardiac Kids' and Lyle Alzado was on everyone's lips.

Jayrossi, I am glad you say that, 'cause Iam a bit concerned, moving there (maybe) soon! Do they have "stuff" for families? Is it kid friendly? I have a 2 & 3 yr old & love the outdoors!! Can you get a nice & new 2/2 Condo for $900,00 a/M.?? Can you live down town, or is that to dangerous? I see a lot of water! Can you lay out & go swimming there? Do the apartments & houses come with amenities??

[jayrossi]

@susannehutch Hi susanne. Yes, there are a lot of things to do and see and yes, it's family friendly. Prices range from $400/month to $3,000/month depending on where you settle. Yes, you can lay out on the beach/go swimming!

@susannehutch Cleveland is so huge that the suburbs of Cleveland are usually included in Cleveland (or Cuyahoga County) such as Berea, Brookpark (etc., westside) and University Circle (etc., eastside). There are (as with every city) some dangerous neigborhoods, but they're easy to spot when you're looking around.

Hi everyone! As I said, I wrote/recorded this in 1986. Since then (as all cities everywhere) there has been a lot of change - GOOD AND BAD - in Cleveland, but there has been far more good than bad. I've noticed that ALL of the negative comments come from those that have NOT been here for a while AND/OR have only seen the few small bad areas (which are everywhere). I have lived here all my life, and overall it's a great city with great people.

was this the song that killed the 'mistake by the lake' nickname, because this shit is rad

[jayrossi]

I can't say for sure, but I can say that I never heard that term after this song.
