* [[Carl Sandburg]]'s poem "[http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15265 Honky Tonk in Cleveland, Ohio]" seems to paint the Cleveland of the first half of the 20th century as a happening jazz and blues scene, albeit with a darker undertone of hedonism and disappointment for the common worker (in keeping with Sandburg's [[Political Ideologies|socialism]])<ref>Ironic because Cleveland, in real life, was an immigrant-infused industrial city favorable to organized trade labor unions and progressive politics. Among the municipal departments established that survive to this day include [[wikipedia: Cleveland Public Power|a publicly-run electric utility]] designed mainly to keep [[wikipedia: Cleveland Electric Illuminating|the privately-run electric utility]]'s prices in line.</ref>.
