Of course he was. Just remembered that, huh?

No need to pull out a ruler. Yours is longer. We get it.

My point was that film/TV production is not a differentiator for Cleveland.

You got that right. Which makes the OP's claim that Cleveland is the "new Hollywood" all the more laughable.

Liike I said, Atlanta really is the "new Hollywood" -- and people here in Georgia generally turn their noses up to that designation. It's not exactly flattering, even if the amount of film and TV production supports the claim.

I love how you clown Cleveland Hollywood guy, then turn around and claim Atlanta is the new Hollywood because they film a bunch of low budget reality shows there. You sound as foolish as he does.

Your evidence is an AJC article with a list of tv shows that are 90% throwaway shows. "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" and "T.I. and Tiny" have the economic impact of a Boost Mobile store.

When Young and the Restless or the Tonight Show start relocating, then, maybe. But grandstanding on the filming of BET's Comicview and claiming the new Hollywood makes you sound as ridiculous as Cleveland guy.

If there was a "new Hollywood" - and there really is not - it has been for a while, and continues to be, Canada.

THE WALKING DEAD -- The No. 1 rated show in the HISTORY of cable television -- is produced ENITIRELY in Metro Atlanta.

FAMILY FUED -- the No. 3 rated game show in America, is shot entirely in Atlanta.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, DEVIOUS MAIDS, and FX's "ARCHER" -- among countless Cartoon Network programs -- are produced entirely in ATLANTA.

Click on my link. Outside of New York and Los Angleses, Atlanta is far and away the No. 3 entertainment center in the US -- and has been for some time.

Next?

C'mon. Posting the whole list is completely unnecessary (and possibly a violation of TOC, IIRC). People can click the link if they're interested. But this isn't about Atlanta.

How I see it: A once-great city that fell on hard times and is successfully struggling back - unfortunately still too poor to be a much of a magnet for the young and ambitious, but it has potential and a lot of history.

I lived in CLE for 13 years.

I was only illustrating my point. Anybody who thinks Cleveland is the new "Hollywood" is truly delusional.

I have heard of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and would think that would be the signature attraction for most visitors to the city. It would be nice to combine the R & R Hall of Fame with the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton on a trip some day. They are only an hour apart if I am not mistaken. I would probably explore the Cuyahoga Valley recreation area for a few hours, too. It would not be a place to live for me, but not having any family, friends or relatives in that area would be the main reason along with having to adapt to chilly winters.

I am guessing I would like the down to earth, unpretentious people there. At least that is what I have heard. I have two friends here in California that grew up in Cleveland. While they have not considered ever moving back, they have shared some good things about the town. They have told me there is an area of bars near the harbor where the ships are called The Flats. I would definitely check that out. Is it still popular?

The rundown areas would not bother me too much on a short trip as I know I will not be there very long. I would definitely research ahead of time to avoid the worst areas (good advice in any large or medium size city).

As to what the Convention will do for Cleveland's image and recognition: it will be limited to the region IMO. St. Paul hosted the 2008 RNC. Only remember that because I grew up in MN until age 12. I doubt too many people around the country remember. However, I'll bet people in the upper Midwest region probably do. So the impact will probably be more regional than national about a year after it is over. It will be remembered in the bordering states, but probably not beyond that. Ohio and maybe Indiana, Illinois, western Pennsylvania, western New York, Kentucky and that is about it.

For proof, how many posters remember that St. Paul hosted the 2008 RNC? It is still great that they picked your city and people should be proud.

You would have to host a Super Bowl like Indianapolis did to get recognition beyond the region. Funny. Hosting the Super Bowl provides greater recognition to a city than a convention process that helps decide our next President. It is what it is. LOL!
