Cleveland

I thought it would only be appropriate to somewhat recap our weekend in Cleveland by listing some facts we learned about our new city! (Don't expect any pictures as we were purely just house-hunting all weekend!)

- Cleveland has the 2nd largest Theatre District behind NYC. (Don't worry - I didn't believe it either until we ventured down there to spontaneously see a play!)
- When they say it's 30 degrees, it feels more like 2 due to the FREEZING winds coming off the lake!
- Cleveland has gone from being the 33rd largest city in 2000 to now the 40th largest, due to a steady increase in people leaving the city.
- The school districts there have Elementary, Middle School, Junior High and High School. (We only have 3 here!) They are K-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12.
- The Cleveland Metropark Zoo has one of the largest collection of primates in North America. (Can't WAIT to visit the zoo!)
- Last year, the city was ranked the 7th most dangerous city in the nation among cities with a population of 100,000 to 500,000 and the 11th most dangerous overall. Awesome, right? (What is odd about that fact is the lack of security systems in homes, and better yet, our realtor doesn't even lock her doors at night!)
- This city had the first traffic light ever! It began on Aug. 5, 1914.
