Summary

In 1954, Cleveland, OHIO, billed itself as "The Best Location in the Nation." Business boomed in its factories, its sports teams won championships, and life was good along lovely Lake Erie. But in that golden summer, the seeds already were being sown for the city's fall from grace, one that would lead ultimately to a new nickname, "The Mistake by the Lake."
