Cleveland is my City of Choice

"Originally I'm from Texas, but I've lived in downtown Cleveland for the past four years.

I love that everything I need is so close to my loft- shopping, the gym, even my job- are all within walking distance. And the location makes it convenient to get to Cleveland State University where I'm finishing my degree.

Of course, I can't forget to mention all of the downtown entertainment options- especially the pro sports. And surprise, surprise, my born-and-raised-in-Cleveland girlfriend has actually been able to get me interested in the theater. Hey, who 'da thought?!!

I could never imagine, growing up in a rural area like I did, that I would actually be happy living in a large city- let alone loving it!

But moving to Cleveland was the best thing I've ever done for myself."
