Hey. Hi. Hello. You found us! Or maybe we found you? Either way, let’s talk about what’s going on here before your attention span pulls a disappearing act.

Clevelandish is a newsletter, a movement, a vibe. It’s your new best friend who always knows what’s happening in town, keeps you laughing, and reminds you why Cleveland is actually the best—despite what your cousin in Chicago keeps saying. It’s weird, it’s fun, and it has no patience for boring.

Still confused? Cool. Let’s break it down.

What to Expect Here (Besides Unhinged Rambling)

• Cool sh*t to do – Hidden gems, quirky events, and things you can casually mention in conversation to sound interesting.

• Weird local facts – Did you know Cleveland was once home to the first-ever rock concert? Now you do.

• Big feelings about The Land – Because if you live here, you know there are feelings.

• A little chaos – Life’s too short for dry, boring news.

• Family-friendly finds & cozy suburban gems – Sure, downtown is great, but we know life happens in the neighborhoods. Expect charming coffee shops, family-friendly festivals, and spots where you can actually find parking.

Think of Clevelandish as your fun, slightly unhinged friend who knows all the good stuff. Not the one who gets you arrested—the one who convinces you to go to a glow-in-the-dark art show on a Tuesday just because.

But don’t worry, it’s not all late-night adventures—there’s plenty of room for the sweet stuff too, like flower farms, hidden bakeries, and nostalgic stories that twang the heartstrings.

But Wait—Who Are You?

This is where you come in. Are you a Cleveland Diehard who has strong opinions about pierogies? A Casual Clevelander who just wants good brunch recommendations? A Reluctant Resident counting down the days until you escape to Florida?

Final Thought Before Your Brain Logs Off

The first real issue of Clevelandish is dropping soon. Will it change your life? Maybe. Will it make you laugh, give you something to do this weekend, and make you feel mildly superior to people who still think Cleveland is just a “mistake on the lake”? Absolutely.

Stick around. It’s gonna be fun. 😘

Talk Soon,
