From Joe Queenan for the Wall Street Journal:
Every year, one American city steps up to the plate for the nation’s attention. Some years it is Los Angeles, seething cauldron of glamour and elegance, other years New York, financial powerhouse and cultural leviathan. San Francisco, Boston and Chicago have all had days in the sun, as have Memphis, Tenn., (Elvis Presley), Portland, Ore., (hipsterism) and Miami (the “Miami Vice” look).
This year, it was Cleveland.
No one really saw this coming.
