Without trying to sound like a geography snob here, there's basically only one person I can think of who could find and capture the soul of a place like Cleveland. Even make you want to go there. That person is the inimitable friend of my youth, Brandon Blackwell. This is the same guy who had a massively successful art exhibition featuring paintings in his own blood, and who I still say is the Best Fourth Thing.
His latest artistic venture is capturing the un-obvious magic that lives in the city he somehow found himself in for more years than I think anyone plans on spending in Cleveland. I was skeptical. But then I saw his work. He's always been good. He makes stuff that has no right to work (ahem, blood paintings) work.
