Isn’t the house from “A Christmas Story” also located in Cleveland?

Yep, been there. You can walk through the house and there’s a little museum and gift shop nearby.

Also, Cleveland is credited with being the home town of John D. Rockefeller, who, IMHO, was the greatest US businessman in history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller

Rockefeller was born into a large family in upstate New York that moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland, Ohio. Rockefeller became an assistant bookkeeper at age 16 and went into several business partnerships beginning at age 20, concentrating his business on oil refining. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897, and remained its largest shareholder.
