Cleveland: Cheap and Easy

Having some fun throwing together a video on this.  Whether you like the idea or not, it’s honest.

From a call I made into WCPN last September:

Based on ease of transportation an low cost of living, it was suggested the marketing slogan could be, “Northeast Ohio: We’re Cheap and Easy.” Hey, why not?

The laugh of the day was provided by caller Jay in Lyndhurst who first suggested that one benefit to living in Northeast Ohio was that it’s “cheap and easy.” Wonder whether the folks at Positively Cleveland will jump on that one: “Come to Cleveland, We’re Cheap and Easy!”

He also noted, “One of the reasons I love living here is it’s close to Lake …Michigan.”

Don’t we have our own Great Lake?

“We can say we’ve got our own lake, but there’s a better one up there,” he replied.

You can lead a Clevelander to water, but you can’t make him appreciate it.

Hah!

MSNBC: ‘Computer nerds and freaks:’ Germany’s Pirate Party rides wave of popularity

Der Spiegel’s article portrayed the Pirates as ”a party of computer nerds and freaks, a party of political neophytes, electrifying a large share of German citizens.”

I do not know everything the Pirate Party stands for, but their effort is rather refreshing.
