East Cleveland is a separate city from Cleveland…just want to point that out there before our city gets any more criticism. Both the elected officials and police of East Cleveland have had a reputation for being corrupt, which has only contributed to the plight of this already poor, run down city.

Reputation is putting it mildly. East Cleveland largest income draw are that Church’s Chicken, the RTA stop, and the Taco Bell. The place is derelict and should have been reincorporated into Cleveland long ago.

You forgot about speeding tickets

Oh damn, yeah you’re right. I forgot about their notorious speed trap on Euclid (I tried not to frequent those parts when I lived/grew up in the Cleveland area).

Yes, I’m from Mayfield. East Cleveland is part of the greater Cleveland area and is a suburb of Cleveland.

Well, they could do what the city of East Detroit did and give themselves a fancier name. https://www.cityofeastpointe.net/

In fairness though, Ohio as a whole seems to be fighting Wisconsin to be the Florida of the Midwest.
