Living in Cleveland

Cleveland Rocks

The phrase stems from the city’s decade-long effort to land the Rock and Roll of Fame, which opened here in 1995 as part of a robust downtown revitalization initiative. Today Cleveland is home to major league baseball, basketball and football, a world-class museum and orchestra, renowned restaurants, a picturesque public park system and unique, close-knit neighborhoods.
