Do you have a take about Cleveland or Ohio that will get you canceled? It can be dicey to air some honest takes, as we can be a sensitive bunch. But if you’re brave, you can say some things and the rest of us can just be cool about it because after all, it’s just an opinion. Here are some of the spiciest ones we found out there in the wild.
The Mini Car Crash Video
After a car crash in Cleveland in 2021, a car pulled up to the scene to see what was going on. The car that pulled up to check on the accident was one of the tiniest cars in the world, making for a hilarious viral clip that has been viewed over 1 million times across multiple platforms.

The Flats Brushfire
An apocalyptic scene broke out earlier this year when videos emerged of The Flats set on fire. The videos blew up the internet, with users wondering what the hell was going on. It turned out that one lit cigarette ended up causing over 20 fires, making for a wild scene. Credit: YoutubeParma State of Mind
Chad Zumock, Alan Cox and the rest of the team at WMMS came up with ‘Parma State of Mind’ back in 2010 around the time Jay-Z’s ‘Empire State of Mind’ was popular. The song stated, “”In Parma, these streets are loaded with potholes, no one takes birth control, let’s hear it for Parma, Parma. Where dreams are made of, we need something to do, stuck here in Parma.” Credit: YoutubeParma State of Mind

When a possum got loose at a Browns’ game back in 2018 and the Browns actually won their first game in 635 days, the possum became a cult symbol. After theRally Possum’s first appearance, Cleveland experienced straight up Possum-Mania. Greg Pleasant, the man who wrangled the OG rally possum, was given the distinctive honor of Dawg Pound Captain at the following home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
