Erm...no. But we've all heard about it. Isn't that the place where the
river flowing through the city centre is so polluted that it sometimes
catches fire?


Nope its the place where that was true 30 years ago.

The river catching fire wasn't the impressive part. It actually managed
to burn the bridge over the river. It was a small bridge though. That
was about 50 years ago though. Laws & the flats have changed a bit.

Overall poverty:

And what does that have to do with travel in the US & Canada????????

Simple: poverty promotes crime; crime 'demotes' travel.


Then no one would've ever gone to India or China as tourists.


cheers,

Your personal feelings of safety have very little to do with the probability
argument this discussion is based upon.

Some guy once fell from an airplane from several thousand feet up without a
parachute, and survived - quite nicely in fact. If he posted here that he
has never had a problem with falling from the sky would we all be ready to
give it a try?

Why should people refrain from posting information which you consider to be
negative? If you have a bias towards Cleveland that lends itself to
self-promotion, so be it, but don't try and quash legitimate discussion that
doesn't serve your interest.

Exactly. Nice one Keith.

This geezer obviously knows nothing about Cleveland. I guess he's from
Pittsburgh myself !

Known as America's comeback city ! Yes the river caught fire 30 odd
years ago but get your single ass over there now. You might even have
some fun !

Also, a bit of advice. How bout putting some positive little census
reports up there rather than the negative ones.

Hmm, let's look at the data:

The 10 U.S. metropolitan areas with the highest rates of violent crime
a

Miami, FL
Lubbock, TX
Alexandria, LA
Sumter, SC
Baltimore, MD
Pine Bluff, AR
Myrtle Beach, SC
Stockton-Lodi, CA
Nashville, TN
Albuquerque, NM

The only city in common between the two lists is Miami (first in
violent crime, fifth in overall poverty).
