Live anywhere near Cleveland?

Read good reviews of this product here, but apparently none of you folks live near Cleveland.  See, Cleveland gets maybe 66 sunny days a year.  Wait, that leaves 300 cloudy/rainy/foggy/snowy ones, right?  Ok, but unfortunately this product doesn't work so well under any of those conditions.  It takes a while to find a satellite (not terribly inconvenient but I could wish it were a bit quicker) then proceeds to calculate and give your first 'turn'.  After that, it loses satellite contact, recalculates, gives you another direction (which you just KNOW is in the totally wrong direction), and continues to do this until you turn it off in frustration.  I have to  pre-plan all my maps online (and bring an I-Pad with a back-up map program for lost signals, wrong directions, etc).  I can tell you that on sunny days, it usually works like a dream.  But hey, I live in Cleveland.  And no, I wouldn't buy it again.  If you're wondering, yes, I did update it when I got it, went to the site and downloaded all the map corrections/updates/etc.

The only way I'm able to live in the city. Moving soon to a place that I won't need them anymore. To the sensitive city dwellers: get these. Now.

Enjoyable, as I lived in those areas.  Easy read;  no one would need a dictionary.

I saw the band often. I am from the Cleveland,Ohio area & all Choir members are from the same area. I graduated from Euclid High in 68. Some of the band members were affiliated with Euclid high or went to Mentor High in Mentor,Ohio. They played at local clubs called the Mentor Hullabaloo or Chesterland Hullabaloo

As a Colorado resident, I was concerned about the author's description of Loveland, CO, as being "the" place for skiers to live when they retire. There are two "Lovelands" in Colorado, and the author has unfortunately missed that fact. Loveland Ski Area is located 45 minutes west of Denver, and there are no residential possibilities there. It is only a skiing area, with lifts, runs, and warming lodges. On the other hand, Loveland the town is located about one hour north of Denver, in the plains, and as described, is a wonderful small town with excellent housing and arts (I'm thinking of retiring there myself one of these days). But, no skiing, except cross-country!

Great if you have nice grass hills in neighborhood.  If not, you will need to travel somewhere.  I will keep looking for a nice area to practice.  Local ski resort has mountain board and grass ski classes, so I will check that out.

As a teacher friend once said to me, "Maryland has something of everything."  How true that is.  Maryland (and Delaware), have spectacular wooded mountains, peaceful piedmont, and coastal plains leading to the seashore.  You can enjoy the water at the Atlantic beaches, Chesapeake shores, by the cool rivers and streams, or at Deep Creek Lake.  These areas have cities and small towns, some with urban life and some in quiet rural settings.

This book will help you find places most of us do not know even exist, and what a surprise you will find.  It is perfect for residents and for visitors, for teachers and parents and grandparents looking for an outing.  It is great for a person new to the area.  So much history is here, and technology, and cultural events.  This book will help you find even the places that are less well known.

Check local listings for restaurants and inns, as in our time of the rapid change, these places too may change.  But the towns and cities where they are located live on and invite us to visit.

The best book I have read on a local community that I grew up NEAR.  I lived in Dearborn Heights most of my life.  I just moved to Wyandotte and one of the speakers wrote the book.  I was sick and couldn't go but I bought the book on Amazon.com. I thoroughly enjoyed the speak easy area. The rum runners and reading about people that I have known the streets all my life.  Great job.

If your like me a long suffering Cleveland Fan, this book is for you!! Scott says the book is about the whore of Akron, but in it I found much more, it addressed the various failures of Cleveland teams of the last 50 years all the way from the firing of Paul Brown to when that punk left town for Miami. His descriptions leave nothing to the imagination, as a long time suffering Cleveland I found his sense of loss over the failures all to real. A great book for the Cleveland fan!!

Love it. I really want for future references. I was born there and most of my family lived in this state.

I grew up about 30 miles east of Cleveland.  I watched all of these characters on TV and especially Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson) every Friday night.  This book is a pleasant reminder of those days.

Quite honestly, this is junk. It is unstable even on smooth roads, so if you know anything about Cleveland driving, you can imagine what it's like. There is no way to stabilize it. Sorry, just my honest opinion.

Charlottesville rated the best place to live in America.  We made a special trip there to check it out. Housing is ridiculously overpriced.  It's a nice area, but expect to cut your house size and standard in half if you want to live here.  I am surprised the authors didn't factor that in more when they rated it #1.

I loved the book. Does not have any bad points at all. I grew up in Cleveland but now living in Honolulu. But many great memories I had at Higgles. They should do a book about The May Company and Halles.

Mallet gets at the essence of growing up and family life in this lovely little book. Mallet's former Cleveland newspaper columns were among the  best Northeastern Ohio has ever seen and I miss them. It's a joy to have  this book and get a taste of her sensitive, sometimes humorous and  thoughtful writings again. An excellent book to take a break from the  "fray" and look at the reality of living to its fullest.

Wonderfully written, my exact sentiments, feelings, beliefs and standards by which I live. Author is delightful and could have been one of my family members. Poor thing I hope she gets OUT on NY soon. Sounds like a TERRIBLE  place to live!
