Cleveland Tries to Shake ‘Mistake on the Lake’ Stereotype
July 10, 2014Cleveland hit the proverbial lottery on Tuesday, landing the lucrative opportunity to host the Republican National Convention in 2016, according to a story in The Washington Post.
The city has a sparkling, almost-new 750,000-sf convention center to show off, a downtown casino and, of course, that priceless Lake Erie waterfront. “I think that this day is a day to celebrate,” Kucinich said in an interview. “And it’s a day to remind the nation that Cleveland has always been a great place to live and a great place to visit.”
