- The Ohio city long derided as the "Mistake on the Lake" hasn't received much respect in recent years, but there is a resurgence in Cleveland, where the NBA champion Cavaliers make their home, and where the Republican National Convention is about to open. Mo Rocca heads to northeast Ohio to take a closer look.
Cleveland has a lot going for it. They failed to mention a wonderful park system that wraps around most of the city.
A lot going for it!?!? Yeah a lot of
Looting.. robberies....drive bys..
Police chases...MURDERS..
YUP A LOT....
I will say it... I left Cleveland in 1970 and moved to Honolulu. I WANT to move back ASAP. Hawaii has very nice to me but it's time to move back home.
It’s great to hear nice stories about my hometown
FORALL2HEAR TV Why not move back and be part of the revival?
Lets see........
New York- Over populated, traffic, expensive, trash & weeds everywhere.
California - Expensive, traffic, forest fires, earthquakes, sharks.
Florida - Hurricanes, alligators, snakes, sharks, expensive.
Been a Clevelander all my life 44yrs only real bad thing here is the winter weather. The town is not to fast & not to slow, blue collar, sports town & makin a come back.
Yessir. Just like my hometown of Buffalo. No dodging of hurricanes or fires around here every single year, just some snow. Toughen up, buttercup!
Cleveland is coming back and there are many great aspects to enjoy. But we are still losing people by the 1000s. We need better leadership and jobs and I don't mean retail.
J S I think it's somewhat due to taxes, they are crazy up there.
I was looking at a house in Shaker Heights for around 140k like 6500 a year!😱
Palm Coast Florida 1400 a year.
It's in the stage of bottoming out population-wise. Probably still several more years of population loss though the numbers of people leaving is diminishing. That's not a bad thing in the long run. The growth that will come afterwards is likely to be healthier, wealthier and more sustainable based on heath care (Cleveland Clinic), IT and growing and improving universities like Case Western and Cleveland State.
Shelter93 But Palm Coast is a low wage culturless hole. Only a low GAF score individual would compare a hole like that to any classic Northern city. Pathetic
Cleveland is great , i am now here
Why there no jobs?
I love you Cleveland!
I was born in Cleveland. At the age of 24 I married a man from Michigan and relocated to Michigan. I have been here for 52 years now, BUT I always say Cleveland in my home. My heart is there.
A couple of years ago, I actually took a vacation there and enjoyed it. The Cleveland Museum of Art is wonderful and free. Downtown has one of the best Civil War memorials I've ever seen.
As long as the bums or out of control are not there damaging it! And the sewer gas is so bad u can smell it in the highest building year around
Cleveland in 2020 is really good, i would recommend a visit to that city and Cuyhaoga national valley park.
Good or Bad. Cleveland is still my Town PERIOD.
I loved 25th street as a child. I will always love Cleveland.
Mark Quigley W 25th is still a BLAST! Love the West Side Market, Great Lakes Brewing, Mitchell’s Ice Cream, Ohio City Burrito and Town Hall
Wonderful place. ❤😊
I got recommended this by CZcams because I liked the hastily made Cleveland Tourism Videos. I'm not disappointed. I think.
It's sad that as time goes by, Wealth leave Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania and moved to Californian and Texas.
I spent years working at LTV Steel. I love Cleveland.
When I was younger, I never was that thrilled about being from Cleveland, but as I got older and started reading about it's history and noticed all of the positive things we have: the location, the people, our orchestra, our art museum, etc., you have to admire it. AND they shot A Christmas Story AND Major League here -- c'mon! That's pretty cool.
Mike Polk grew up outside Youngstown. He's not a Cleveland native by any stretch of the imagination.
He’s a Northeast Ohioan, close enough.
@@DaytonaRoadster casual racism, how awesome
@@flext-rex8284 :D don't expect any less from an Ohioan
@@amyiverson8802 it's not an Ohio thing, I'm from Ohio and I'm not like that. There's a huge Jewish community in Cleveland as well so it's definitely not an Ohio thing
@@OhioBoy1440 As a lifelong Clevelander who grew up in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood, I can assure you someone who grows up outside of Youngstown is NOT close to being from Cleveland. Even if he passes himself off as such.
Never could stand Polk when he got famous. Being a Browns fan doesn't give you the right to say you're from Cleveland.
"It's nice..it's not bad! We got shirts on!" lmao
Mike Polk is what passes for a celebrity here
Fun times in Cleveland today!
Still Cleveland
@mikedabuc WE'RE NOT DETROIT
This is awesome! I went to school at at Michigan State, so Detroit was my loca big city that I visited in my state. Many big old cities in the rust belt brutally declined, but this is inspiring a huge amount to see a city that is actually making a great comeback that is just like us in the rust belt. I won’t pretend that Detroit is identical to Cleveland, we have probably more brutal suburbia sprawl and more people living outside the city, but this does provide a lot of hope. If you can do it, then we can too!
Thank you Drew Carey for Promoting your Hometown on your Show about Cleveland, or Drew Careyville!
You know Drew Carey hasn't spent ten seconds in this town in 20 years.
Fun times in Cleveland Again its CLEVELAND!!!
WE’RE NOT DETROIT!
That's one of the best DOCS I have ever seen.
Cleveland and the mistake by the lake stuff is media hype. I have traveled to the city three different times and I love it. The things to make fun of really is how industrial the city is and it's funny weather. There are great beaches, the metroparks, roads that lack any real congestion, the cost of living is cheap, great nightlife, food. It is underrated, people just wont know unless they find themselves there.
4149stonepony Where are you from?
Try living there. Vacations don't count
iaw94 mistake by the lake is a very popular, media sourced stigma. This is nothing new.
The city is a medical town but the weather is funny it can go from the summer to winter in 4hrs!
The weather genuinely sucks from November to April.
May is when things get way nicer, and it starts to end around the end of October.
Good segment.
WHOAH THE SUN IS OUT
Cleveland Native here: The last time I saw the sun was in October
We average 166 sunny days per year annually, which is below the US average (205), but most of those sunny days here occur in the summer.
The Cleveland Clinic is the best hospital for heart surgery in the entire USA.
It speaks volumes that the first electric-lit house was lit by "green" energy.
If Cleveland could figure this out in the 1880s, we can figure it out in the 2020s. Let's find someone from Cleveland to work out the details.
Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and other hemorrhaging Rust Belt capitals are finally bottoming out. In the next 5-10 years they will slowly stop losing population and eventually stabilize as smaller, healthier more modern cities. It's going to continue to be a bumpy road and they're still going to struggle but there will be success and eventually growth along with the struggle. It's actually an exciting time for those places, a ray of hope after a several generations long storm.
zyxwut321 nope there on their way to become ghost towns.
Brendan McClelland that is just a false ignorant statement
The Pinnacle what are you talking about?
Brendan McClelland you said that they are on their way to becoming ghost towns which is false and ignorant thing to say or type in this situation.
The Pinnacle actually I made a valid point. In case you haven’t noticed the Rust Belt cities are still losing population and unless they ever regain population, they could become ghost towns. There’s no way a city will come back if it keeps losing population. And in case you haven’t noticed urban blight and violent crime are still huge issues in the Rust Belt.
Buy a home for the price of a VCR! 😂😂😂😂
What is a VCR? Is that short for Volkswagen Car?
@@Paul-ou1rx where you put vhs tapes
Make Cleveland Great again ! (we are not Detroit 🖕🤣)
ReKieM Art Cleveland is not great?
Detroit is much better
like a Scooby doo ghost town
* static HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one!
Pray it never becomes Detroit.
I keep thinking of the Clevland funny touring videos
I'd like to see a followup to this story. Check crime rate, avg income, population growth/decline, and maybe some footage showing how-for example-East Cleveland is progressing.
Blackrain4xmas East Cleveland is on the rise!!!
Its on the rise ok...working class leaving thats on the rise...so is CRIME!...
@@packingten delusional. Especially because the Cleveland area is the most prosperous in Ohio, which is the 8th biggest economy in the country...
Jobs are coming back. We have crime yes income are going up. Tourist are coming to Cleveland. We need to make Cleveland feel safe. If you have and suggestions come to City Council meeting. In 6 years Cleveland is going to be the place people want to live and visit. A lot of things are coming to city. So buy property before you won't be able to afford to. Look at all the new hotels. High end condos.
Come visit Cleveland so much to do. We have a great Zoo. Good places to eat. Some great Music and art. Thursday free concerts at Edgewater. 3 Casino in Cleveland. You can and will have a good time. Rock and Roll hall of fame NASA so many things to do can't name them all. Also a lot of pretty Woman
fat women
Porch Turds That’s the rest of Ohio, Cuyahoga County, not so much (other than North Olmsted, Berea and Strongsville)
@@donbeck8835 only fatties on west side?
Porch Turds The fat women are mostly in red counties and anything far from the city and closer to cornfields. Cuyahoga County is mostly blue.
Cleveland was named after a BLACK 🖤 Man Moses Cleaveland and the home 🏠 of Howard the Duck 🦆 and Black 🖤 Lightning ⚡ Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
I'm waiting for balloonfest 2
Did they put the fire out on the river?
😍
Mike Polk was not the best choice for CBS to interview about this. Yeah he's a somewhat famous comedian and a Cleveland sports fan, but he grew up by Youngstown. I grew up in Old Brooklyn. IN Cleveland. He ain't from Cleveland.
What he failed to point out while half bashing the newly rebuilt flats that it's great for the "yuppies" is that it generates much more income for the city now than the old Flats ever did, even in their prime in the late 1990s when it was full of "his people". There's Ernst and Young's corporate headquarters, condos and apartments, as well as a lot of great bars and clubs that aren't as rough around the edges as the old clubs used to be. Much more attractive for people with money and safer = better long term sustainability.
The revamp project was a success for the city and the REAL Clevelanders are proud of it.
We're not Detroit, LOL
Quicken Loans Arena 2016:

No thanks, a low wage culturless hole where most places have no sewer. You can keep Texass.
This pandemic is proving that we can make light duty goods and equipment again ( N95 masks surgical masks and PPE ). WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY......DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO MAKING CARS OR STEEL. PEOPLE WITH MANUFACTURING DEGREES OR AA CERTIFICATES CAN RELOCATE THERE OUT OF STATE.
were not the mistake on the lake no more now everyone wants to be a clevelander due to our sports teams
Michael Stojanovic and so much more!
Cleveland never was the "Mistake on the Lake". The title "Mistake on the Lake" goes to Gary Indiana.
+Michael Stojanovic Uh...sure.
Michael Stojanovic Well bud now you are the mistake after taking another L
I just moved away. Not only is the city on the decline the entire metro ia hemorrhaging people.
Cleveland is a lot better than Chicago, I think it should be the mistake on the Lake lol
WhyWhere : Borehamwood, England ; 0203 CET : You're joking, right? This Expatriate Chicagoan (living in England since 2000) ........ ***KNOWS*** you're joking....**RIGHT??**
@@OpinionsAnimationStudios you alright? Looks a bit like you're having a stroke there....
@Nice One imagine being this salty a smaller city is better than Chicago 💀
Opinions Animation Studios Chicago’s overrated. It’s the go-to city for all tourists in and out of country who think they’re getting a taste of the Midwest and the Great Lakes. Great pizza, lovely sights but also suburbs upon suburbs of crime, poverty, and trash everywhere.
You want to become rich buy some of the cheap housings in Cleveland Ohio you'll make a fortune in rent.
Shining where?
I wonder what ever happened to "this guy"? Didn't see him in this update. Maybe a train carried him away.
The narrator sounds like Jerry Lewis as Prof. Julius Kelp and so cannot be taken seriously.
And then LeBron left
"Victorian internet"?!? Man, that's f****** lame to call an important invention like the telegraph a form of "internet." 😂😂😂😂😂
The internet is objectively one of the greatest inventions created by man. It has changed almost every westerners life directly, and many others. You can't seriously mean that the internet isn't as important as the telegraph. It would be devastating if the internet broke down.
My nephew went to the casino there, won a little money and was afraid for his life. afraid he wouldn't get out of there alive.
Corny dude. He ain’t never downtown
Mike Polk is a fool, quite frankly. If you have to live in a town you should be proud of it. Instead of building up his own town, for his own good and that of his neighbors, he capitalized on negativity for his own personal gain. Congrats Mike, so happy you are "famous" at the expense of our fine city. Now you go down, because Cleveland is coming back!
Oh Lordy, it's a joke! Mike Polk is a comedian. He loves Cleveland and, therefore, can joke about it, the same way so many Hollywood writers from Cleveland have for decades. I am so glad I came back to Cleveland after many years on the East Coast, but this kind of defensiveness gets so old. We can love our city and poke fun at it too.
The writers from Cleveland were making jokes for humor purposes. But, then the rest of the country took the humor out of the jokes and it became malice. Plus, I didn't think the Polk video was that funny to me. In your time living on the East Coast, did you see East Coasters poking fun at their cities like Clevelanders do Cleveland? Just curious. And, how did they react when you told them you're from Cleveland?
It's just needs to be more of a balance some people in other cities overpraise their cities and don't see its flaws while others are too down on their cities and don't see the positives.
Bruce Peters : Borehamwood, England calling ; 0202 BDT : Polk Told The TRUTH.
Tracymmo But you won't see cities on the East Coast making fun of their cities on CZcams.
Who invented Cleveland again?
This disingenuous Cleveland PR stuff has been going on for twenty five years. Cleveland is always "coming back", even as office space sits empty, the schools continue to suck, a mass murderer manages to fill his house with at least ten corpses, a rapist kidnaps three girls and holds them for ten years in a home near downtown, and two crackheads are shot more than 70 times by police after their car backfires. But none of that matters does it.
And based on your post you seem to know a lot about the city making you a Clevelander, so now you are just a troll
@@mikehenry7427 Sound like someone who doesn't like to hear the truth. Typical Clevelanders.
me being from Cleveland my hole life I'm 12 I smoke weed vape have drugs have guns rob stell cars fight ya dont come to Cleveland
Cleveland is a horrible place to live kid's shot in cross fire alot crime is horrible they don't maintain city streets or take care of it's taxpayers I grew up in Cleveland in 60s and 70s when it was great place to live I wouldn't live there now sry but it true it is not safe place to live and way city treats its residents is horrible too
