Cleveland community

"If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere."

This statement is usually applied to the Big Apple, but believe it or not, there are plenty of movers and shakers making it in Cleveland and beyond.

From musicians to designers, restaurant owners to actors and some who just want to spread the Cleveland pride, there are plenty of people making noise around town.

Metromix has been fortunate enough to sit down with a lot of these individuals and talk to them about their lives, careers, passions and missions.
