Am I to now understand that my Cleveland, with its three, yes three, operating steel mills is the new "Pittsburgh of The North" ??

Cleveland does remind me of Pittsburgh in the 1970s. With a majority 'working class' population, many of them employed by the steel, aluminum, and many small, medium, and large factories still in Cleveland. A public transit system that actually hauls people to their jobs; not just school kids and disabled passengers. Many of those passengers are hauled by electric vehicles. An atmosphere which, sometimes, smells like "mill", if you are in the right area. Plus all the large bridges and an active downtown,  and even the hills in the east and south parts of the city, all point back to my Pittsburgh experience. It is like reliving Pittsburgh back in those good days.

I guess Thomas Wolf was wrong..............you can go home again.
