I might disagree with Cleveland's placement, and heres why;Cleveland is going to be one of the largest Big Data centersTon of tech jobs hereBillions of dollars for new projectsMedical MartCasinos and more high net worth hotels etc being createdRevitalization of small neighborhoods like Tremont and Ohio City.The only thing risky here is the sports teams ;-)
