Not sure where this comment [[it is a post I borrowed from a sports forum) about Cleveland's experience with their renaissance in the area around Quicken Loans Arena fits, but I'll put it here..

"Have any of you been to Downtown Cleveland lately?

Downtown Cleveland is booming. While the Greater Cleveland area has shrunk massively in population over the last two decades [[and beyond), the last decade for Downtown Cleveland has been incredible. Not sure what the population is up to now, I think it is like 15k immediately in Downtown and that doesn't count the neighborhoods immediately around Downtown [[trendy neighborhoods like Tremont and Ohio City or University Circle)
More than anywhere, this renaissance is evident in the area immediately surrounding Quicken Loans Arena."
