Congratulations to Cleveland Ohio for looking good

when the nation's eyes were on that city.
Apparently, no problems of any proportion, though I understand revenue was down in the core of the city.
Best of all, citizens behaved in a rational way despite likely disagreement with the politics of their visitors.

This praise from an Ohioan at the far southwest corner of the state of Ohio, who has only visited Cleveland once, about 50 years go.

There were predictions of riots and disruptions in Cleveland, but the police presence was probably overwhelming. Just a couple of kerfuffles were mentioned on Pittsburgh news outlets. Anarchists burning a flag and some shouting across the barriers.
