No shit, the most productive thing I've seen people do in Cleveland is an 8-Ball.

New York always makes these "Most Miserable Cities" lists and it's no surprise, this place sucks and everyone here is unhappy all the time.

Midnight....

Ohio claimed like five of the twenty spots on this list. We cut our 8balls with D-Con out here. Shit's like a cross between Larry Cohen's THE STUFF and STREET TRASH everywhere. Toledo is like Cleveland and Detroit without all of the bands and nightlife getting in the way of throwing your life down the garbage disposal.

So why was Cleveland so much higher on the list?

Forbes' lists are always ridiculous.

Yeah....you should totally move to Gary, Indiana, before even thinking of Sacto or.....NYC!?!?!

 I don't understand the math on any of this bullshit, if there is any. Isn't a majority of the ranking based on internet polls or something? I would imagine Miami being a better place to live than Gary. WNKRS, what's your take on Miami getting the high hat 'stead o' Gary?

Interesting Toledo fact:  Highest rate of child prostitution in the state.

I saw a Dateline episode or something about that. It's because there are so many interstates that criss-cross it, it's easy to traffic people. Scary.

Maybe child prostitution is weighted more highly than access to nature or bike path mileage 'cos Sacto's got that, too.

Transportation hub + Large immigrant communities from SE Asia and Russia/Ukraine = child prostitution rate

I do understand that math.

Last time I was in Cle I saw Mike Rep and the Quotas, Raven, Puffy A's, Emeralds and Times New Viking PRODUCING like motherfuckers at a reasonable price in a reasonable, mostly, venue. Wooooooo Also, Bim bum rushed the stage at the end of TNV set to really just cap it off.

And #4 in the nation in human trafficking! Who said there were no jobs here?

Emeralds are the only Cleveland band on that bill though...

Puffy's lead singer is from Brecksville, but Vin said "people" not Cleveland people.
