Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video: 2nd Attempt

So The Cleveland Board of Tourism was not happy with the first video that I turned in. In fact, they said that upon viewing it, three of the board members moved away.
They insisted that I turn in a proper Cleveland tourism video, otherwise they will pursue litigation.
So I was really planning on buckling down and giving it my all this time, but there was a "Rock of Love" marathon on VH1 last night that I didn't want to miss, so I cranked this video out in even less time than the first one. Roughly 35 minutes total.
Despite this, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, and I think they will be too.

I tried to buy a house in Cleveland but I got mugged by the real estate agent.

This video literally won my friend a Geography Bee. The final question for the win was "What North American City is famous for having a RIVER THAT WAS SO POLLUTED THAT IT CAUGHT ON FIRE?" . He hesitated for a second, but the look of amazement on his face when he remembered the song was priceless...

I recently moved from Cleveland to Alberta, Canada. Was in a store making small talk with the cashier and mentioned I was new here. When he asked where from and I answered Cleveland, he immediately sang "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT DETROIT!" Well done, sir. Well done.

I showed this to my parents a while back (they grew up around cleveland). They agreed with everything in the video but said, and I quote, "it was only one time" about the river fire.

“Under construction since 1868” can be applied for most if not all Midwest States

“911, what’s your emergency?” “I’m in Cleveland, and—“ “Stay on the line, all units are on their way to assist you”

The extra "we're not Detroit" with the bird was the best part.

You can tell this was made by a native Ohioan because our perpetual construction was the first thing they mentioned

Due to the explosion of interest in vintage/obsolete tech, a VCR now costs more than a house in Cleveland.

McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ it.” Burger King “Have it your way.” Cleveland “We’re not Detroit.”

I spent 6 months working in Cleveland. I got so little sun that I broke a bone in my foot simply walking. Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency.

I asked my teacher (who is from Cleveland) if she knew about this video. To which she replied, “At least we’re not Detroit.”
