WHICH BRINGS ME TO YOU, Cleveland*,

I saw so much outpouring of support for the businesses who were subjected to the dozen or so imbeciles who broke windows and started shit on Euclid between E. 4th and E. 9th.

That part alone should have been suspect. Did any of that stupidity happen in Hough? Fairfax? Lee-Harvard? Kinsman? Mt. Pleasant?

Of course not. In fact, subsequent protests happened in all of these neighborhoods with no incident, near as I can tell

But there Cleveland* Twitter was, freaked out about what was going on in a five-block space of downtown.

@ClevelandScene knew what was up before everyone.

And also, oddly enough, at least one T-shirt company was apprised of the situation and moved their invented elsewhere.

Since then, the businesses who were affected in that five-block radius have since cleaned up and moved on as best they can.

Well, except that one cupcake lady.

Meanwhile, as Cleveland* Twitter wrung its hands over this one situation, which, as we now know, was exacerbation by law enforcement's horrendous lack of communication, the city has once again surpassed Detroit as the most impoverished.

In case you missed it, I made no secret if using the asterisk when I refer to Cleveland Twitter, because there's a more than even chance that the most vocal about the city and permanently ensconced in a suburb.

I know. I haven't lived or worked in Cleveland in years. At the same time, I've never lied about where I'm from as egregiously as some of you have.

What I'm saying is that you love all of Cleveland or love none of it. And if you love all of Cleveland, you care more about its people than all the bright shiny objects you see downtown or in the trendy neighborhoods.
