I have lived in five states, some of them at each end of the state, and many cities and I feel qualified to say that the suburbs in Cleveland are the nicest of any place I, we, have ever lived. We lived 34 years on the west side......the side that doesn't get as much snow. 27 of those years were spent in Bay Village and 6 of those years in Avon. When we moved to Cleveland I wondered why people joked about it being "the mistake on the lake" or has "a lake that's Erie" or a "river that burns". The river did burn but the other 2 were just a way to get laughs. We loved it and are not sorry that we lived there. There is nothing like a long warm fall on the shores of Lake Erie with flowers all the way to Thanksgiving. I know when someone calls it "the mistake on the lake" that they either have never been there or have only been there a day. I would go back if I could come here in January, Feb, March.
