I was on Yahoo and found your blog. Read a few of your other posts. Good work. I am looking forward to reading more from you in the future.

I beg to differ.. We are headquartered 20 minutes away in Avon, OH and having traveled all over the world people just don’t appreciate everything Cleveland has to offer until they leave.

This was our first city we created travel videos of and the number of great things to see and do in this city is amazing. Apologies in advance for the link, but people need to see all of the stuff to do here!

I’ve been looking through this, you guys need to double check your facts because you are way off on some of what you say here. Not to mention no one proof read this thing.

Chicago? NY, NY? Seriously?! This list is quite inaccurate and the reasons given about sports are stupid. This is the worst “Worst Cities” list I’ve ever seen.

8. Cleveland is a sh*thole write on 20. February 2010 on 2:50 pm

Cleveland is a sh*thole, good try Cleveland Travel Videos. I grew up in Avon, moved to the city after high school and lived there for 8 years. Someone please set this city on fire and burn it to the ground.

A real Cleveland tourism video? Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM

Why the huge emphasis on sports teams as happiness factors?

10. admin write on 20. February 2010 on 2:55 pm

Someone need read. I not make list, i just write about: “Forbes third annual ranking of America’s Most Miserable Cities”
Thanks

i was really surprised that hartford didn’t make it on this list. and why the hell is stl on here because of their football team?! st louis is a wonderful city with a lot to offer. and you’re worried about football?

Meh, I refuse to believe not one city in New Jersey made this list. Newark? Jersey City? Hello!

whoever wrote this really hates ohio. is this subjective or is there some formula

14. Alan write on 20. February 2010 on 5:19 pm

I agree with Becky – what do sports teams have to do with happiness? This list needed to be more fleshed out in terms of why cities ranked where they did. But it was still an interesting read.

15. Randy write on 20. February 2010 on 9:51 pm

Vast majority are northern cities. I guess the good ol’ south is still the good ol’ south.

Well I was born and raised in Stockton, Ca and frankly I’m offended by this ranking. It’s not fair. If the writers from Forbes took the time to visit our fair city, they wouldn’t have given such a ranking. They would have listed it as the number one most miserable city (which is exactly what they did last year). Damn liberal media getting it wrong again.

Cleveland has an orchestra without peer, an art museum I was asked about by a visitor from London, who wondered why it was in Cleveland. When I asked him what he meant, he said:” A museum like this would only be found in Europe in Rome, Paris or London.” I’m happy we beat out New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, but my son, who just worked in St. Louis, said it’s a wonderful place, with people full of pride in their city. Cleveland has nasty weather at times, but beautiful sunsets on Lake Erie, great neighborhoods, an emerald necklace of woods around the city, ethnic foods from the many immigrants,
wonderful restaurants, excellent colleges and hospitals. I’ve lived in many cities and Forbes needs to get out more! And when our teams win, we are SO happy!

Where is Phoenix, AZ?

#1 in methamphetamines & kid-napping. As well as illegal immigration, sky-rocketing cartels from Nogales through Tuscon and Yuma to Phoenix. Condemned asylums for county jails, “The Tents” where inmates are kept in the sweldering heat year long.. crooked officials. We just surpassed Detroit for grand theft auto… one of the lowest unemployment rates..

Stay away from PHX. It blows here…

The only one that really surprises me is Chicago. I was thinking of moving there… if only I could get over the weather.

20. Louis write on 26. February 2010 on 6:58 pm

Hey Dustin even though I see your points about PHOENIX, this wasn’t a crime survey, I live in Phoenix and I can tell you first hand it is one of the best cities in the US. From weather, outdoor adventures, lakes, events, sports, great restaurants, night life, you get my point. Try living in crappy cities like CINCINNATI, OH then you’ll have a million things to complain about. Trust me

Chicago is great if you like, theft, rape, murder, cold weather, spending money, terrible cab drivers, corruption, unions, panhandling, and high taxes. Housing is also extremely expensive. That is if you want to live in a neighborhood you are less likely to be shot, but don’t trust a realtor to advise you which neighborhoods are in a “bad area”. That is illegal. Good luck finding a place to park. If you truly love Chicago you probably haven’t lived in a place like Phoenix. Dustin probably lives in a trailer park. I’m guessing he is currently out celebrating Obama care.
