Not for the faint of art. |
Today, we're going back not very far at all, to an entry I did in May of last year: "One Great Thing" The prompt, from "Invalid Item" , was a simple one-liner: "The biggest plus for living in your town/area" I'm more used to pointing out downsides than upsides, but honestly, there aren't too many downsides here. Minor inconveniences at worst, like the lack of a Denny's, but having been all over, I know there are downsides everywhere. Denny's also isn't that great, objectively. At least we also don't have an Olive Garden. So, advantages, in this case, are easy; all I had to do was point out all the alcohol manufacturers. Still, I couldn't resist the joke in the first line: "It's not Cleveland." I don't know why I like to rag on Cleveland. I've never even been there. Maybe it's because the name is inherently funny. From all accounts, it's a pleasant enough city. Fortunately, I'm not well-known enough so that, once I do manage to visit Cleveland (which I hope to do, because it has breweries), I won't have to spend my time apologizing to the citizens there. None of the stuff I said in the entry needs updating, really. While a few breweries have disappeared, and others have popped up, the other producers that I mentioned still, as far as I know, exist. In any event, yes, I still consider this proliferation of vendors to be a big plus of living here. There are other good things here, but I won't dwell on them, lest people get the idea it's okay to move in. |
