It honestly doesn't look like that bad of a city. I always had in my mind that it was dying and falling apart. Everything looks clean and well maintained.
@@righteousgarrity9672First part of your name checks out
It’s really not that bad. I live in the Cleveland metro area and I don’t mind it here. Sure it’s not like the most interesting city ever but it’s a perfectly acceptable place to live. The only bad thing is the weather.
Don’t watch news. You won’t think that way.
Great place to live if you don’t mind friendly people, low cost of living, excellent culture, healthcare and food. People talk about how cold it is but guess where else it gets cold as fuck? Chicago, New York, etc..
The weather is what’s really bad about the region. It’s not just that the winters are long and cold, it’s also a very cloudy region because of Lake Erie. It very, very depressing. I grew up there as a kid and couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there.
Cleveland is very nice. Very underrated city. Amenities of a large city but you can escape away and get a small city feel too. It can be whatever you are looking for. And right on the lake.
Like alot of the Midwest they failed to diversify thier economy, and its a damn show how much people had to struggle here, it has so much going for it. they say its on the upswing these days,
@@diodelvino3048 The city has had seven decades of Democrats “running” it. Eaton, Progressive, American Greetings, etc. all ran for the ‘burbs as a result, financial prosperity is not a speciality a Democrat possesses. Any financial growth/construction was SOLELY a result of the private sector. And luckily for the jagoffs currently running the show, the Sherwin Williams charter called for the new HQ tower to be built in the CBD. The health sector is in full swing though. Travel about 10 minutes east of the central business district and you’ll find yourself in University Heights. That is the “downtown” of the health sector and also houses John Carroll University. That is a thriving city of its own. Head another seven minutes east of University Circle past the railroad tracks on Euclid and you’ll find yourself in the third world country known as the City of East Cleveland. Entirely different municipality but I think nationally it incorrectly gets identified as part of Cleveland proper.
@@diodelvino3048 at least you get a free picture with lebron right?
I grew up 25 miles east of downtown Cleveland. After 50+ years away, I am still a big fan of Cleveland.
I’m currently in Cleveland right now !
Cleveland reminds me of how Miami was 20 or 25 years ago. But I think Downtown Cleveland is WAY nicer than Downtown Miami ever was.
We have better weather. At least when there isn't a hurricane.
@@edzaslow I was born and raised in Miami. For me, the weather there is too warm. I now live in the panhandle and there are actually seasonal changes.
When I was in 10th grade my dad told me that I would go to school near Cleveland to start 10th grade (it was in Parma to be exact, and I went to school there for the final parts of my school career), and whenever I would go on a field trip I would have the occasion of seeing the Cleveland skyline on 490 (I think) and it looked very awesome!! Much love from an Ohioan myself (in fact, I live 2 counties west of Cleveland ❤❤❤❤)
Grew up in Brecksville. Me and my buddies would take the bus into downtown and just walk around, go to Terminal Tower, and walk around Euclid Ave. I was always proud to say I was from Cleveland.
I’ve been there 5 times to visit family. Despite it struggles -Cleveland still rocks !!
Very relaxing, thanks for your hard work
My home town looks great!❣️
Awesome city - good energy - totally underrated - lot to do
Beautiful video! Trip is awesome!
Nice city.
my hometown yessss
I love looking at this video about Cleveland city. Hopefully, I will visit Cleveland with my future husband and my family from Jakarta.
very cool. was just in Jakarta ✌
Cool 👍
Such an underrated city.
Come on down to Cleveland town everyone
Take a look at both of our buildings
Buy a house for the price of VCR!
Looks just like Manhattan and Downtown BRooklyn...beautiful
I'm a fan...thanks J Utah❤
Nice tour! Hoping to see Louisville on your channel sometime 🤞🏼👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the ride
As a Malaysian I've always fascinated by just how big and how beautiful US cities are, it looks like everything is carefully planned, the roads are well paved and the buildings look well kept and painted.
To be honest, Kuala Lumpur looks better than many US cities.
@@RK-bx1by joker
True, but sometimes they’re extremely dirty
Don't go to Boston
@@RK-bx1by "many US cities" such as??
Hey Im from here, nice driven.
Nice weather, comfortable driving~
Cleveland has some nice pockets of density, but minimal foot traffic.
I was hoping that I could find myself here but I don't think that I was outside when this was recorded.
Дорога успокаивает
The Care Bears Family is back like: Tenderheart Bear, Swift Heart Rabbit, Cheer Bear, Treat Heart Pig & other billion Care Bears & Cousins!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
🎼Come on down to Cleavelandtown everyone… 🎶come and look at both of our buildings. 🎶 See our river that catches on fire…🎶
"Our main export is crippling depression. Our water's so polluted all our fish have AIDS" 😂
Damn, I can't get this song out of my head lol
we're not Detroit"
U gotta go to Brisbane Australia and do a drive in that Olympic city
There are many places on the West Side (Gordon Square, at West 65th and Detroit; West Park; Lakewood) that are just as spectacular as downtown.
American 🇺🇸 is the greatest country on earth no country comes close
Have a nice day. Watched your next nice video and enjoyed. So like and thanks from your subscriber. Country Azeebaijan.
would love to visit your country soon and see a grand prix race 😎
COME TO AZERBAIJAN AND YOU WILL SEE ONLY RESPECT
The Mid-West has some really underrated cities. A bit down and out but once great cities.
Pretty clean, especially compared to a lot of European cities. From what you always hear about Ohio I thought this was on Detroit levels
YOO, nice to see you drive through Ohio cities.... are you going to drive to Columbus by any chance?
at 26:30, it looks like a chandelier hanging outside.
It is. Playhouse Square, the country’s largest performing arts center outside of New York City.
Adding to the mentioned cities in the description, I see San Francisco and Texas at some points.
If you’re ever back drive up st Clair/superior to asian town and there’s more buildings and warehouses up that way before you hit midtown
good suggestion will check it out
Alot of American cities look empty with not many people around,in Australia our downtown areas are vibrant with people everywhere such as Melbourne and Sydney.
It doesn’t help that the downtown has more inside spaces like the Arcades then outside spaces like 4th street. I think it’s mostly because we have brutal winter so it’s better to build a arcade than a outdoor retail space
America was designed in the early 20th century to keep us in our cars so the automotive industry/oilmen can get rich. No wonder we’re all fat and depressed.
He just uploaded a video of Brisbane and it was a ghost town through the entire city 😂 you guys only have like 3 or 4 major metro areas to our 40+ 😆
Fake news buddy
NYC is still here you know? So is Chicago, Boston, Nashville, New Orleans, San Francisco, etc...
Ahhhh yes.... Cleveland, Utah.
Sounds like you are driving a bread truck Jonny U! Am I far off?
lol na. i had a really great summer as i got to bring family with me! thats why the audio sounds different i just put a mic near the engine. next trip should be solo so the audio will be similar to before
Nice tour, remember kids the city proper had 914,808 residents in 1950, down to 750,000 in 1970 and now, as of 2020 372,000. A shadow of its former greatness…..Downtown looks empty, it is a weekend , but its a factory town, manufacturing was king, office workers not so much. The downtown is large, spread out, wide avenues lots of light and many late 19th and early 20th century buildings remain. All north - south streets are numbered
had no idea the population decline was that large. steven johnsons book '6 innovations that made the modern world' talked about air conditioning moving people south to warmer climates. between this and free trade, i dont know what else caused it. its a beautiful downtown. similar to detroit. but people jsut left.
@@jutah The surrounding 8 county region population dropped, but by a smaller %. Cuyahoga county, which Cleveland is located peaked in 1970 at 1,721,200, with 970,000 people in the 59 suburban cities surrounding Cleveland. The county has dropped to under 1,300,000 today, nearly all of the loss from Cleveland itself. Only St. Louis, Detroit and Baltimore had larger population losses.
@jutah Downtown is the neighborhood that has seen the largest increase in residents. Work from home has been the greatest factor to the decrease in foot traffic. However, I do still see a decent amount of people during lunch hours and weekend evenings.
@jutah Looks better than Seattle actually. What camera are you using?
👍
I'm curious, what's the black pyramid building at the left at 43:17 ?
rock and roll hall of fame i think
Hey what camera did you use?
Я смотрел все ваши видео
Used to know a girl from Cleveland. She had really big…ideas 😉
where are all the people at?
ощущение что большую часть времени на светофоре стоишь.
City of Cleveland fix that clock on east 9th. Street on Euclid. This city always discussing big projects in Cleveland, and they can't fix an outdoor clock.
I know it's not a world class destination, but can you please go film in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the future...
ALL HAIL CLEVELAND💥
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 20
anyone with an iPhone that just got blasted with the light of a thousand suns watching this video?
Do you ever have to hold in coughs and sneezes?
How difficult is it driving around Cleveland? Coming from Toronto
cleveland is much smaller. less traffic. pretty easy.
@@jutah thank you, good to know!
Hardly I can see people's on road, Cleveland looks so empty where cars are more visible than humans, it's a clear sign of dying state of cental part of US where people's are leaving central states for coastal areas.
Hard to say that when more and more people have been moving to the Midwest, and Cleveland's population is growing again, depending on times, days of the week and weather is the biggest factor you do not see many people on the sidewalks exc..
You see that in Southern US too. More people in their cars than out in the street walking around. It's because in major cities it's not safe in certain parts of the day to be walking around and most of America loves their vehicles than outside on a bike or walking around. We are a car dependent country. That's American culture 101.
downtown cleveland has increased from 10k population to about 50,000 in the past decade
@thedirtybubble9613 many people would actually love to bike. We've just been forced into it lol

One thing in common that a lot of these US cities have, especially LA, is they look like ghost towns with no people walking, just cars and tall buildings. European and Asian cities are so much more vibrant with actual city life happening. It is not a complaint, just an observation. To be perfectly clear, we do see occasional walkers, bikers, even a guy on a skateboard like in this video. But they seem like an oddity, not a constant and essential part of the scene
Your observation would be correct. I partly believe that our poor public transportation system has something to do with it. europe and Asia are far more advanced with public transportation than we are because we simply don't need it. It's pretty much a part of the American lifestyle that a house and a car per adult in every household is a must. Other reason I believe is due to affordability, cars are more affordable in the us so more people tend to have one.
@@marcusjones491no, it's Euclidean (exclusionary) zoning. Most of the world's cities are "mixed-use" with rare exceptions, while American cities are mostly zoned for single-family houses (R1), with separated commercial areas. Then there are parking minimums, which are much less harsh in the rest of the world. Then there's the generous funding of highways and roads in the US, car-centric planning of city streets, etc.
Cleveland is infilling a lot of the downtown parking lots especially near the warehouse district
@@carbrainedironically enough the city that spawned Euclidean zoning laws (Euclid, OH) is a Cleveland suburb that borders the city to the east.
Have you ever been to Los Angeles? It's one of the busiest cities in the world 😂
where are all the people?
Playing video games inside
Downtown is mostly vacant offices. Although the population of downtown residents is steadily increasing. Also downtown has several arcades (like the arcade and 5th street arcade) and alleys (like E4th Street) so people don’t have to walk outside
I've always loved how Cleveland has lots of greenery even downtown I hope they keep it that way
FIRST
Beautiful city overall, but a lot of those roads and a few of those bridges you drove under need serious maintenance. Their current condition is unacceptable. By the way, what was that steampunk-ish structure you stopped at before turning around?
What’s the time stamp?
@@Odm1776 For the structure? It's 55 minutes in.
@@ChrisTheAspergerGuy Oh it’s a old Jackknife Bridge. It use to come down to let trains cross the Cuyahoga River most, if not all, of those bridges are left up for aesthetic purposes. Kind of like a nod to the cities industrial past.
@@Odm1776 That's pretty cool. I like it when cities hold onto pieces of their history like that.
@@Odm1776 That's very charming. I wish my hometown of Miami, FL would do the same. Instead of building high rises. I like Cleveland because it reminds me of how it used to be many years ago.
Another pretty vacant city.... cars, highrises, but no pedestrians. Welcome to the USA
That’s not exclusive to Cleveland. America in general is just a more car oriented culture.
@@VOTE_REFORM_UKthe most foot traffic you will find is either NYC or Chicago
CCP bot plz go.
There are no people like this even on a Saturday afternoon...
The United States gives the impression that even large cities are very desolate, with some exceptions.
Exception like New York, but how many people do you want to see?
American cities were destroyed on purpose
As someone who lives next to Cleveland, I can tell you that most people travel by car and enter straight into their destination. This is why you don’t see many people.
I can proudly say, Cincinnati is far better🤷♂️
Joakim Noah was right in his assessment of this city.
You’re a fool. Cleveland is awesome.
joakim noah is a talentless bum that was only in the nba because of his dad
@@whywhere1768 It doesn't change the fact that he's 100% right about your city. Do better.
Hey j Utah I hope you find this comment first of all I like binge watching your videos for hours and hours on end but these newer videos are becoming harder to watch because of all the car noises and the loud background noises
thanks for the feedback zolout, i didn't have the best audio options this summer but will continue to improve and the next batch will have better audio.
I don't understand all these driving videos. Who wants to experience a place from inside a car? Only by walking and cycling do you really get the full feel of a place.
