About Cleveland

Situated on the shores of the Great Lake Erie, The City of Cleveland is a modern city with a combinative atmosphere that blends the charm and lure of a Midwestern city with the hustle and bustle of an East Coast metropolis.

Sometimes known for its infamous pollution-induced Cuyahoga River fire in 1969, Cleveland has come a long way since then.  Home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Playhouse Square, Case Western Reserve University, the nationally-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Museum of Art, The West Side Market and an impressive ethnically-diverse culinary scene, Cleveland is a cultural gem.

Famous Clevelanders include Food Network chef Michael Symon, who owns several local restaurants; Hector Boiardi, better known as “Chef Boyardee”, poet Langston Hughes; actor Drew Carey and actress Halle Berry; singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman; the 20th U.S. President, James A. Garfield; comedian Arsenio Hall; and former baseball pitcher Cy Young, among many others.
