Cleveland Mayor - World Thinks We're A 'Butthole' City... But We're So Much More!!!
TMZ ^ | 6/03/20

Posted on 06/07/2020 1:44:06 PM PDT by Libloather

Cleveland's mayor left a sour taste in the mouth's of many locals who tuned in to a discussion he had about the city ... referring to The Land as "The World's Butthole."

Mayor Frank Jackson was talking about his fair city and its charms on Wednesday -- but during the Facebook chat, he said yes, he's aware that many perceive Cleveland as Earth's anus ... so to speak. He very quickly made it clear, though, that HE doesn't actually believe that to be the case.

Check it out ... Frank says perception isn't always reality, and if you closely examine Cleveland's GDP and gross domestic capital -- it's actually fairly wealthy in that region of the country.

He's right, BTW ... there've been multiple studies and articles in recent years documenting Cleveland's output -- and the numbers, by and large, are on an upward trend dating back to the early 2000s. Even federal data backs up Cleveland's positive economic status.

my hubby and i were raised in Cleveland suburbs, and we had to learn about John Rockefeller/Cleveland connection from watching “the men who made America”
They never taught us about him in school. Crazy.

In honor of Cleveland's new, unofficial status, I strongly recomment that this group be the next act inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

DANG!

Folks in Cleveland always know that they can look down on Detroit and Buffalo.

You know, I have been to the Red Rocks Hall of Rock Fame and thought to myself, “I don’t need to go to Cleveland. There is a Rock Hall of Fame right here in Morrison, Co.” and if the one in Colorado is just as good as the one in Cleveland then I can live with the thought that I have been to at least 20 Red Rocks concerts over the years.

I was born in Cleveland and raised there and lived there until I was 32. Nothing wrong with it, with many fine and beautiful features.

Its main problem is political with a stupid school board and some inept mayors over the years. Business-wise, it’s in pretty good shape.

People fled in droves after the forced busing ruling of the 50s. The schools lost more students after the Baby Boom ended. Unions aren’t flexible in adapting to changing conditions and the schools went downnhill.

San Fran would be a better choice, considering the denizens and the crap on the streets...

I see a town motto in there somewhere.

Yes indeed. We have some material we can definitely work with.

“World Thinks We’re A ‘Butthole’ City... But We’re So Much More!!!”

Not bad. A little wordy. How about...

“Cleveland, butt wait, there’s more!!”

Or perhaps...

“Cleveland, ‘cause we like big butts!!”

Could be copyright issues unless perhaps we work out a deal with Sir Mix-a-lot. Maybe he could do some promos for the city.

Why go to Uranus, Cleveland’s just a drive away.

Although Superman is from Krypton, he was conceived in Cleveland by Jerry Siegel and is commemorated by a retro "S" plaque. Not open to the public, but sometimes visitors are invited in. Full tip

Cleveland is exceptionally violent, but Baltimore is worse.
Cleveland is disgustingly unsanitary, but San Francisco is worse.
I could go on, but the short version is that Cleveland is a pit, without quite being dead last in any single area of failure.
