25 Reasons Why Cleveland Is The Best

Cleveland is the best city on the planet. Your argument is invalid.

1. Ohio...with Beaches.

There are numerous, gorgeous beaches on Lake Erie.

As Melissa Etheridge said, "Y'all got your own ocean here in Cleveland!"

The largest corned-beef distributor in Ohio, and the top sandwich in Cleveland.

What's not to love?
