Where should quot;20 somethingsquot; live in Cleveland if they are new to the state/area? -

My boyfriend and I are moving to Cleveland and do not know where to live. We are both very active, artsy and total foodies. We are coming from Chicago, so we are hoping to find that kind of neighborhood/city vibe. Is there anything like it in Cleveland? We will be working downtown basically, so we were thinking a loft or something, but it doesn t have to be. We just want to be somewhere nice, with a Main Street for shopping/food/social life/stuff to do and see. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Four areas you should consider if you want to be relatively close to work are the Warehouse District, East 4th St., Tremont, and Lakewood. They are listed in no particular order, because much would depend on what type of residence you seek and how much you are willing to pay.Downtown isn t the same as the University Circle area, so if you re working at the Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve, etc., you might want to consider different areas, such as Little Italy or Coventry in Cleveland Heights.The Warehouse District and East 4th Street are downtown residential centers relatively close to each other. Both are foodie centers with some art galleries in the Warehouse District. They are the center of Cleveland s club scene and offer easy access to Cleveland s performing arts center at Playhouse Square and to the cultural center at University Circle (Healthline bus rapid transit).http://www.warehousedistrict.org/distric��http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/08/reales��http://www.east4thstreet.com/home.phpTremont is both a foodie center and arts center with many galleries. It doesn t offer the relatively immediate access afforded to downtown residents to free downtown trolleys and other downtown mass transit options. Tremont, however, is very close to downtown.http://www.restoretremont.com/Tremont and downtown residences have easy access to the West Side Market, frequented by serious foodies. It s located near the W. 25th rail rapid station.http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserRevie��Lakewood is an adjacent suburb to Cleveland, a very short commute, with good mass transit connections. It is the home of Cleveland s Gold Coast high-rise condominiums. Lakewood has good restaurants and very good athletic facilities and parks. It also is an arts center compared to most Cleveland suburbs.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakewood_Go��If you re physically active and would like to live near one of the Cleveland s area s excellent metro parks, you re living choices also might be different. E.g., living closer to the Cleveland Metropark Rocky River Reservation might cause you to consider Rocky River, one of Cleveland s top-rated suburbs but a longer, although still very reasonable, commute to downtown.Given your desire for a Main Street environment, you might want to investigate the Crocker Park mixed use development in Westlake.http://www.crockerpark.com/Read through Cleveland resolved questions for much more on these areas and other Cleveland living options.BOL on your relocation to Cleveland!

If you are looking for some fun things to do, come to Sandusky. We are an hour from down town Cleveland. We have a great Amusement Park, an awesome haunted house open all year long, islands and much more. Put in Bay Island is always happening especially in the summer. Below are some websites to visit. Good luck in house hunting. http://www.ghostlymanor.com/http://www.cedarpoint.com/http://www.shoresandislands.com/

Your best bet is to move in the Warehouse district, every thing you want is there, plus it is downtown

Tremont, all the way!

Is Connecticut really New England? -

I dont think Connecticut should be considered New England anymore. I live in Westport and it just doesnt feel like I live in New England or am a New Englander in any way.I dont commute to Boston, root for Boston sports teams (as you can tell by my screename. haha.), I dont tahk like this or enjoy chowdah every night for dinnah! Plus nobody around me does any of those things. So is Connecticut REALLY New England? It doesnt feel like it at all. I have friends upstate that say they re coming home to New England but I ve never said that or anything like that. I think we should be considered Mid-Atlantic if anything. Who agrees?

Connecticut isn t really a state. Half is part of NY, the other half is part of MA. (Hartford is sort of an anomaly.) Consider: 1. It has no national sports teams. 2. There are no real cities. Cities have downtowns where people want to visit and to live. (Bridgeport? New Haven? Get real. Hartford? Maybe.) 3. People don t go TO Connecticut for vacations, they go through it. 4. There aren t any real newspapers. People either get the Times or the Globe. And no one needs to say the city. (Hartford Courant, you say? Hasn t been real for years.) 5. It s the only NE state that has to put NE in front of chowder so people know which kind it is. 6. All the fun stuff to do is in another state.

Yes, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut are part of New England Colony.If you read this article, you will understand why it is called New England.

Yes, Connecticut is part of New England. However, parts of the state do have a New York City orientation What makes you think New Englanders are racist. Most of us aren t

sounds like a lot of hurt Mass people replying to this. Especially butt hurt Kman who obviously is a boston fan.

Yes, it s still New England, whether YOU think it feels like it or not. And who cares about your radio presets or how you talk?

yes, it is.not everyone is new england is racist. you generalize too much.

Western Connecticut is metro NYC, it s not really New England as far as we re concerned. The eastern half of the state identifies more with Boston. The Connecticut river seems to be the dividing line.I don t tahk like this - do you tawk like this ? The exaggerated tri-state accents are just as bad as the Boston ones, and most people in both places don t have them.Boston had some racial tension in the 50 s and the busing integration in the early 70 s caused a bit of a stir - but the assertion that it s now a racist city is absurd. Boston is a major technology hub, filled with international students, and home of the ultra-leftist PC politicians. It s orders of magnitude more diverse and tolerant than Connecticut - the home of white, yuppie, New York bankers who moved to the rich suburbs because they don t want to live near black people.
