LeBron Who?

There is still a lot to love about Cleveland even if LeBron has ditched Lake Erie for the beaches of Miami. The Cleveland Plain Dealer listed the best things to love about that great city on the Lake in last Sunday's paper.

Here are 20 of Cleveland's greatest gems:

1. Cleveland Metroparks. Kind of a hidden gem an Emerald Necklace, to be exact.

2. Cleveland Orchestra. Consistently one of the worlds best.

3. Actual seasons. One lasts a little longer than the others, but still.

4. Cleveland International Film Festival. Lights, camera, action and a lot of documentaries downtown. Annual movie-buff heaven.

5. The Dawg Pound. OK, it's not where you want to spend quality family time, but it's our own special spot within Cleveland Browns Stadium.

6. The Big Egg. The legendary hangout in Cleveland is reopened, with something for everyone on its menu.

7. Progressive Field. Would you rather watch a ballgame at the old Municipal Stadium?

8. Cost of living. Median home price in the Bay Area in Northern California topped $400,000 last month. And how much did you pay for your house? 

9. "Hot in Cleveland." Who doesn't love Betty White? Check it out on TV Land, 10 p.m. Wednesdays.

10. Severance Hall. The venerable hall in University Circle classies up anyone who plays here.

11. Great Lakes Brewing Co. Christmas Ale, anyone?

12. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Yes, we rock.

13. Cleveland Museum of Art. Almost 100 years old, with a legacy of expansive collections.

14. Lake Erie Tall Ships, beaches, Edgewater Marina, Goodtime III, the Steamship William G. Mather . . .

15. Terminal Tower. A tall legacy of our city (with a reopened observation deck!).

16. Michael Symon. When he's not opening burger joints you can find him on the Food Network competing against other chefs.

17. World-class health care. Best place in the country to be chronically ill.

18. A Christmas Story house. The Tremont-neighborhood home draws us closer to Ralphie seeking that special BB gun.

19. University Circle. Cleveland Museum of Art. The Museum of Natural History. Western Reserve Historical Society. Cleveland Botanical Garden. Wade Oval. Case Western Reserve University. Enough said.

20. Playhouse Square. From "Wicked" to something wicked this way comes, these eight (soon to be 10) venues make the theater district the nation's largest performing-arts center outside New York.
