I love it because it has a small town feel but with heavy-hitting cultural institutions and is more than a little gothic… grand and beautiful with a storied past but also shitty, haunted, and decayed. People who are unpretentious, deeply cynical but kind, outgoing, and joyful. Gloomy skies, long winters, nestled against beautiful Lake Erie, surrounded by sprawling verdant forests and teeming with wildlife 🫶
