That's why I moved from Silicon Valley back to Cleveland. That -- and the pierogies and corned beef. And the half-pound brownies!
Note: I shot and uploaded this on July 4th. Just so you know. I like to keep these things timely. Check out the video.
Based in Cleveland, Marc Canter is a senior contributor at BYTE. He's also a co-founder of Macromedia and CEO of Broadband Mechanics, which produces People Aggregator. Follow him @marccanter4real and email him at [email protected].
