As a Cleveland native, I look at Pittsburgh somewhat jealously as a city that is achieving what Cleveland has been slow to do over the last 30 years: find a post-industrial midwestern identity.
- tcbawo 9y agoCleveland would do well to create industrial and R&D ties to Pittsburgh. It's relatively close in proximity. Creating a regional tech hub would benefit both.
- moultano 9y agoCase Western has to step up its game.
- thearn4 9y agoCleveland Clinic and NASA could have a role too, but could really use some coordination.
- blackguardx 9y agoAs a CWRU grad, I don't really see what power they have fix Cleveland's problems. One of them is due to the high levels segregation (both wealth and race) and sprawl due to white flight from the inner city. This is slowly changing as Cleveland tries to revitalize the downtown, but I'm not sure there are any good plans to help out extremely poor areas such as East Cleveland.
- Kihashi 9y ago> I'm not sure there are any good plans to help out extremely poor areas such as East Cleveland. I'm not sure this is necessarily helping, but there was a plan to have Cleveland annex East Cleveland. The East Cleveland City Council basically nuked it and then recalled their mayor who had proposed it, IIRC.
- ntsplnkv2 9y agoFootball rivalries aside, Pittsburgh and Cleveland would do well to partner more often. Both are very similar cities, they have more in common with each other than others in the rust belt.
- thearn4 9y agoRather than settle football rivalries, I kind of wish Cleveland would just ditch the Browns and offload them to another city already. But for good this time. Their stadium is occupying probably one of the best spots on the Lakefront, and is entirely wasted there.
- bennettfeely 9y agoThere's no need to spell it out, we know Cleveland Browns fans look at Pittsburgh jealously.
