Not in Cleveland
The announcement that LeBron James is packing his bags and heading to Miami is yet another piece of sad news for Cleveland. The Forest City has been down so long, it's started to look like up.

At the height of the Great Depression, a grisly murderer stalked the streets of Cleveland, finding working-class victims, dismembering and beheading them (hence his nickname). The official body count was 12, but some authorities have blamed other unsolved murders on the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run (another, less pithy nickname). Eliot Ness, a detective famed for bringing down Al Capone, was Cleveland's director of public safety, but even he was unable to solve the killings—nor has anyone since.
