Songs About, or Mentioning, Cleveland
Posted on 10:46 by jackson
Photo by the authorSince this blog is all about the great city of Cleveland, I thought it would be a good place to assemble a definitive collection of all the music videos I could find that are either about Cleveland, or that simply mention the city by name. Here’s the list I’ve compiled so far, and the songs covered various musical genres. If I’ve missed any, please leave me a comment and I’ll

The Mall: Downtown Cleveland’s Public Park
Posted on 09:35 by jackson
When people first hear of Cleveland’s Mall, they think of a retail shopping mall. While Cleveland does have retail shopping downtown, The Mall I refer to is the downtown public park.

Cleveland’s Shameful Eyesore: Lakefront "Howard Johnson’s"
Posted on 05:35 by jackson
Cleveland's Eyesore, sitting behind Fox 8 One of Cleveland’s ugliest sights – at least for those who have to drive past it every day – is the old Howard Johnson’s Hotel (5700 South Marginal Road) - viewable from I-90.
