You’d have to be crazy to go to the east side.
Who in the heck picked Cleveland?
Dozens of nicer cities to choose from, safer ones, too
What was wrong with Des Moines?
Most cities are blue, therein lies the problem.
Any Democrats coming to Philly? I can give you detailed instructions on places you should visit. I specialize in after hours clubs with cachet.
“Fatally shot, multiple times”.
Can I assume the “east side” means the same there as it does so many other places?
The Agora. They must specialize in Classical Greek music.
Given Trump's message regarding American jobs and American life, Cleveland looks like a brilliant choice. Now if the progressives send in their goon protestors the picture will be complete.
Beethoven and a fifth? Oh, Beethoven’s fifth? I don’t know.

Rinse's selection committee. Two years ago. Republicans want to avoid a pitfall of 2012, when the late-August nomination of Mitt Romney delayed his access to general election funds to counter fierce Democratic attacks on the airwaves over the summer. Cleveland organizers promised access to Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavaliers basketball team plays, as early as June 27. The city also promised that six new hotels going up downtown would bring a total of 22,000 rooms within 25 miles.""Republican committee staff, playing down the political implications of the choice, said the pick was a business decision that weighed which city could raise the necessary $70 million or so, and which would accommodate an early summer date.

First 5 years after I was born my family lived right next to Forest Hills park.
I visited there last year, it’s not pretty.
Definitely would avoid after dusk.
Ah, Des Moines! My home town...born and raised there! A great city! As a lad, I saw HST on his whistle stop tour that made him the winner in 1948.
I have many recollections of my time growing up there. I am a 1953 graduate of Des Moines North High. In 1952 we were blessed with the election of the first Republican, Ike. That was an experience to be cherished.
If the words in modern "music" could be understood, there might be fewer shootings.
My family lived in Cleveland Heights when I was a kid(1951-1959)then we moved to the country.The Heights was a nice neighborhood then,all our neighbors were decent working folks.The old neighborhood got pretty bad in the 80’s but seems to be coming back.
