I grew up in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up in my neighborhood was fun, we played kicked ball, held softball games, and also celebrated many holidays with each other. Every summer, during the carnival the children of the neighborhood would participate in the talent show and win prizes. Growing up in Cleveland you were also able to enjoy the zoo for free on Monday 's, and also, watch movies in the park. Cleveland is also home for fresh corn beef and polish boys.
