Living in Cleveland area

[chris_NC0112]

Hi,

I would just like to ask some information as regards to living in Cleveland, I read from several sites that crime rate in the area is quite high as compared to other states. The reason am asking is because I was given an offer to work in CC as a RN.

Thanks....

We have several family members in the "burbs" of Cleveland. They tell me crime is down from a few years ago except for drug related and gang related instances. No big city is safe, we must take responsibility for our safety if we chose to live in or around a big city. My family sees irony in living here in the "safe" mountains, my cousin, who lived all of her life in Cleveland, come here on a camping trip and was killed. I will not go into details, but the killer planned it for months and did it here because he thought he would stand a better chance of getting by with killing her here and faking an accident. She is missed by all of us and most especially her 4 children.

See,This is what Im saying.The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.I live in supposedly "bad part of town,I have never felt unsafe to leave my doors open or walk somewhere even in the evening.People need to stop being so judgemental.

I just got back from Cleveland tonight. I am moving there in August for a job at CCF and I LOVED it the two days I was there. Cleveland is a beautiful city with a lot to do...especially if you like the outdoors like I do. I was at the Rocky River Reservation and it is great. I am very much looking forward to moving there in August. So far, I am happy with my decision to move.

Congrataulations to you!You need to check out Lake Erie also.I was raised near the lake and still LOVE it!!And the Rocky River is awsome!Cleveland is too a great town!God bless!
