We at DamnYouOhio.com are lifelong, committed Ohioans. While the negative angle may make you feel uncomfortable, that is somewhat the point. (We would be lying if we didn't admit that some of this stuff is just painfully funny.) The only way things will get better is to be completely clear and unafraid of our problems. This is what people are saying about our state; if we can't listen to them how can we make it better?

Cleveland - America's poorest city
Cleveland is now America's poorest big city, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
With this recent, unwelcome designation, Cleveland moved ahead of Detroit, Newark, N.J., and Miami, America's most impoverished city the previous four years.
Cleveland's poverty rate of 31.3 percent is about double that of Pittsburgh, which was 37th on the Census Bureau list.
Midtown is one of four Cleveland neighborhoods with pockets where the poverty rate soars from 62 percent to 100 percent. The others are Fairfax, Glenville and Hough.
the high-paying manufacturing jobs that once sustained people in these neighborhoods have mostly vanished.
Beneath Cleveland's bright facade, America's poorest city
