Mr. Beat: Cleveland & Detroit compared

 

[VIDEO] Cleveland, Ohio is compared with Detroit, Michigan. Both cities have experienced declines in the last half of the 20th Century. Both are poised to do better in the 21st and they're also midwestern cities such as Chicago or Milwaukee or St. Louis, etc.

Another fun fact of both cities at one point both of them were among the top 10 largest cities in the nation. Detroit was #5 and at one point Cleveland was #7 however now they're #24 & #54 respectively. Both were heavily industrialized with Detroit being dominated by the automobile industry and Cleveland had a history with that also.

Those facts including former Iraqi President Dictator Saddam Hussein receiving a key to the city of Detroit by Mayor Coleman Young and many more in this latest compared video from Mr. Beat.

I want these kids to learn some geography darn it!
