Fair question after he chose to insult the place I call home.
Touchy, touchy. The river did catch fire you know, it's not like I
made it up. Nor did I invent the unfortunate expression "rust belt".
Like my own home town in upstate NY, I'm sure Cleveland is a good
place to be from.
As W.C. Fields once said about Philadelhia: "First prize, one week;
second prize, two weeks".
On my last business trip to Cleveland I drove to the airport in a
blinding snowstorm and got out of Dodge on the last flight before they
closed the place down. Never went back.
I now live in a place where snow is illegal and the water is not
Eerie. With any luck you'll be able to do that some day. There are a
lot of "Ohhhies" where we live now. They come down on I-75 in the
winter and drive very sedately in their white GM cars. Everyone
cheers when they leave in the spring and highway speeds return to
normal.
PS, all returned insults *must* be in good taste, and at least
moderately creative. No 4 letter words, no bathroom humor, no
kindergarten krapp, and a brief mention of boats or water would be in
keeping of the newsgroup's intended subject matter.
Too bad about your "Tribe". They looked pretty impressive for 4
games.
Damn Yankees..... mutter.
