Been there many times , trust me , not either clever or smarter than average . I grew up 100 miles east of it , & we used to try to spot a car on the street while driving through that wasn’t damaged at all : we never did find one !
In Germany there is a city named Essen. The word literally means “food” or “to eat”. Not far from Essen there is a city named Dortmund. This translates to “there mouth”. A few hours to the south-west there is a city named Darmstadt. It literally means “intestines city”.
Germany does have good food and beer, though. And let’s not forget the cities of Frankfurt and Hamburg. Fast food wouldn’t be the same without them.
Go to Cleverland where you can apply for work at Winfred Louder (Drew Carey Show – dang, reminded how that show has never been officially released to DVD. I would have got the set. Supposedly, it’s because of music rights licensing)
Cleburg? The “mistake on the Lake” where the river catches fire. I spent a whole year there one night… There were some smart & frisky women in Shaker Hts., however…
I went to Cleveland a couple of times back in the eighties. The two things that stand out the most in my mind (at least for that time period) are the the gangs and the drugs.
I think the people of Cleveland must be pretty smart to conger up a mythos that keeps undesirables happy to be where they are and out of their back yard.
I thought it a little too much, hoping for a cleverland in the modern USA. Alas, here in the Great Downunder, we seem to be following your lead in silliness and cleverland is hard to find here as well. I guess we all live in hope though.

There’s always Smartville, but the residents might not want a Rat in town and exile Rat to the Kingdom of Id.

If they were smarter than average, they wouldn’t live in the mistake by the lake.

Yeah. How smart can they be if they stay there?
