It's hard to believe that a new year is right around the corner... 2017 is almost here! But let's take a moment to reflect on 11 ways Cleveland won in 2016. It was a great year for our city.

1. The Cavs won the NBA Championship.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers came through and brought the winning trophy to our city.

2. The Indians made it to the World Series.

What an amazing time for the Tribe!



3. The Lake Erie Monsters won.

Did you know that our very own Lake Erie Monsters claimed their first Calder Cup in franchise history?


4. Public Square was redone.

Public Square holds a number of fun events like ice skating in the winter, live music, yoga, and doggie yappy hours during the summer months.


5. Our city hosted the Republican National Convention .

This convention brought about 50,000 people to our city for the week of the RNC.


6. The Browns won a game.

Enough said.


7. Stipe Miocic won the UFC heavyweight championship.

“I’m proud because I’m from Cleveland,” Miocic told WKYC .


8. Gordon Square is on the rise.

New housing is being built, businesses are starting, and more exciting advancements have happened in Gordon Square Art District this past year.


9. Renovations to the Q were announced.

The Quicken Loans Arena will be reformed with a $140 million renovation plan.


10. Downtown Cleveland has several district neighborhoods .

Downtown living is greater than ever. Oh yeah, and the flats are back.


11. The Cleveland Metroparks was named "Best in Nation."

The title comes from the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration, in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association.



12. The Cleveland Museum of Art was ranked No. 2 in the nation.

Wow!


13. Movies were filmed in our city.

Scenes from many movies were filmed in our city this year, including "Fast 8."


14. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport construction improvements were completed.

The Terminal Façade project was completed in June of this past year.


Even though 2016 was a good one, here's to an even better 2017.

Cheers and Happy New Year, Cleveland!

Things To Do In Austin Over Spring Break

From swimming holes to SXSW, I got you covered.

Spi Abroad

With spring break quickly approaching in the next couple of weeks for high school and college students, most will be heading home to spend time with family and friends, while others will be going to explore new places such as the beach or someplace new to go. Austin has been ranked in numerous lists of best cities to visit and move to in the U.S, but having been born in raised in Austin, I can tell you everything there is to do.

With spring break around the corner, it's time to look at some ground rules. We are used to seeing insane partying in Panama City Beach and other Florida locations. We have an image in our minds of what the perfect Spring Break is as depicted in countless movies. We are ready to party hard. With that in mind ... we all wanna make it back alive to continue on our path of this wonderful journey for a college education.

DO'S

1. Rally. Do you really want a hangover at 8 p.m.? I don't think so.

2. Buy souvenirs. I know you want a new tank top to wear every day. 

3. Spend most of your hours on the beach. You don't want to come back from Spring Break with no color. Being the pale friend is no fun.

4. Take a ton of pictures. These will help you remember the week for years to come.

5. Remember to have #NOREGRETS. What happens on Spring Break, stays on Spring Break. (The Vegas Rule.)

DONT'S

1. Don't do anything in public that you wouldn't want your mother seeing a picture of. Your friends will take pictures, I promise. You don't want this as wedding blackmail years later.

2. Don't get sick in public. If you don't feel good, go back to your hotel.

3. Don't leave any friends behind. They most likely won't be comfortable with the area. They may not even speak the native language.

4. Don't get caught. Take this whichever way you want.

5. Don't break the 'Vegas Rule'. I don't care if it is 10 years down the line.
