Cleveland Rocks

I found a few fun facts about Cleveland:
The Cleveland area has 3 professional sports teams, The Browns, Cavaliers, & Indians. (Plus the not pro hockey team "Little Monsters.") 

Is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It sits on Lake Erie .

There's a temple in Columbus- only 2 hours away.

The average winter temp is 25 degrees, and the average summer temp is 72 degrees.  It's a little chillier than I would prefer, but I hear the ice storms are beautiful.  
As of the 2000 Census, the city proper had a total population of 478,403, and was then the 33rd largest city in the nation[6] and the second largest city in Ohio. 

In studies conducted by The Economist in 2005, Cleveland and Pittsburgh were ranked as the most livable cities in the United States.   

Scenes for Spider-Man 3 were filmed in Cleveland in April 2006.

The city was also the setting for the popular sitcom, The Drew Carey Show which starred Cleveland native Drew Carey.

If anyone asks us how we feel about our assignment to Cleveland, the music starts playing in our head and all we can do is smile and say "Cleveland Rocks!"
