With Thanks to Cleveland:

The city of Cleveland – as both a government and group of people – demonstrated unconditional kindness, hospitality, and preparedness for those in attendance at the Republican National Convention this week. FamousDC thanks local, regional and those law enforcement officials who traveled many miles to Cleveland to keep the peace and keep us all safe, especially while also better enabling attendees to freely express their opinions without fear. For showing us and everyone attending the RNC an inspiring level of kindness and geniality, we’re eternally grateful to Cleveland. Thank you!
