Jim Blasingame's Cleveland question?

So during my 4th LIVE radio interview with The "Small Business Advocate" this morning, Jim Blasingame
intros me as a Franchise Expert etc. from  Cleveland, Ohio.
I say,  "The  Rock N Roll Capital, Cleveland Ohio"! He asks me, "What great Rock N Roll  Band came from Cleveland'?
I answered, "The Michael Stanley Band"..... He said: Cmon, Joel!
Anyway, I always enjoyed the band, even though it never got to a level I had hoped it would.
During the commercial break, Jim asked me how things were going in Cleveland.
{In January, he asked me the same question, and I told him "average at best".}
This morning I answered, "A little better, I think'
I mentioned some cool stuff going on downtown, tech-wise, and he told me that he hoped things got better.
Living in the Midwest is pretty tough. The weather is challenging. The business climate is challenging.
The East and West coasts  seem to hold their own, growth wise, and the Southwest is just rocking.
I am staying here, so I really want Cleveland to Rock N Roll again!
We have a  marketing campaign featuring the Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown area.
The title- Cleveland Plus.
Nice website. Boring branding. {Sorry, but it is really weak}.
I am NOT being a Negative Nancy, but Geez...Is that the best we can do?
How about this instead:
"Cleveland. Rocking your world!"
Cleveland does have one thing going for it.
A real dynamo, who cares, and is not afraid to tackle big issues, and has no fear when it comes to announcing huge goals.

He is "The Tech Czar"
Watch Michael D. in action. He gets it!
These Michaels just keep coming....
