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.

I see a town motto in there somewhere.
projection,
Ha! Cleveland’s on our visit list next year. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame there.
Isn’t the house from “A Christmas Story” also located in Cleveland?
Yeah right, I have a friend from Cleveland. I don’t even know if they rise to the level of ‘Butthole’ city.
Well, if New Jersey is considered the armpit of the United States then Cleveland could be the Butthole.
Yep, been there. You can walk through the house and there’s a little museum and gift shop nearby.
Cleveland is just one of a myriad of US big cities that arguably could claim the title.
And the leg lamp?
Well, I guess you could say they are starting from the bottom and working their way up.
Libs are trying to turn it into the Intestine City.
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.

Yup. I’ve read his biography be Ron Chernow.
Like the entire digestive tract? Breaking down food, removing nutrients, squeezing out the water and compressing and excreting what remains?
Indeed they do: a bottle of shampoo above South Buffalo.
Prove it. Up through the 40’s a great working industrial behemoth.... and then the unions and thugs well, whatever. Same thing happened to Detroit, the jewel of the Midwest. Arts, science, products and companies, and ... cars.
Tough people especially the European immigrant descendants, and families.
