Hey Forbes, the Entire City of Cleveland Hates You
So, by now I’m sure we’ve all heard about the lovely new Forbes Magazine List that Cleveland has made it on this year. I say “this year” because this isn’t the first time we’ve topped one of their lists. (Remember one of my very first posts on iCarabout?) Last year ALONE we were voted one of the “Fastest Dying Cities in the U.S.” and one of the “Most Miserable“.

Welp, us Clevelanders don’t take kindly to people insulting our city. I mean, look how intense our sports fans are? Do you really want to piss off a city who’s fans are so passionate about a continuously losing football team that they throw glass bottles during a game? (I love the Browns and being a rowdy fan!) I don’t think so. If Forbes REALLY did their research, you’d think they would be smarter than that.
Anyways, as you all know from my blog, I love Cleveland. BUT, I’m sure as heck not the only one! We have so many Clevelanders out there who do so much to show support, love and shine a positive light on this city of ours. That’s why I have to shout out to Positively Cleveland. They not only got the most AMAZING domain name EVER to rebut this Forbes garbage, but they also got us all rallied together as a community to show our collective love for Cleveland! I mean, can you really get any better than whattheforbes.com?! It’s an amazing site where you can go to post why you’re happy in CLE.

On top of all this, they started a hashtag in twitter (#HappyinCLE) that I’ve seriously become obsessed with…mostly because I really want to make it a Trending Topic. If we could do that, we could show the twitterverse the love we have for this amazing city we live in! Just look at the support we have already!
What’s even better is that Positively Cleveland shows this love, support and passion for our city EVERYDAY. This isn’t just something they started because they were upset about some list. It’s so amazing that we have these organizations out there that are constantly pushing to show everyone the greatness of Cleveland.
Help support this awesome idea, Cleveland and Positively Cleveland. Go post what makes you #HappyinCLE on whattheforbes.com and on twitter!
We love you, Positively Cleveland! Keep up the amazing work!
Here’s a funny video they did in response to Forbes. LOL…”If this is miserable, BRING IT ON!”
