Who’s Your City?

That’s the question that Richard Florida asks in his latest book entitled, Who’s Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life.

It’s a question I’ve asked myself. Early in my career, I chose to move to our nation’s capital because I was looking for work in museums and with the plethora of cultural institutions dotting the Washington, DC area, I figured I was bound to find a job. And, I did.

Ultimately, I realized that my family was more important. After attaining my career goal in DC, I decided to move back to Ohio to be closer to my loved ones. Although Cleveland has some amazing arts organizations, I decided to take a different path, one in the corporate world.
