As a complement to our illustrious Readers' Choice Best Of Cleveland 2019 list, we at Scene have, for the first time, compiled a corresponding Worst of Cleveland. Consider it a long-overdue if incomplete reckoning of all the absolute most garbage people, places, things, groups and opinions that rot at the heart of this city. They deserve not to exist in anonymity — and yes, many of these have been touched on in brief or in depth in various issues and stories — but to be called out by name and levied with the title of the Worst of Cleveland forever more.
At a time when local-based reporting is critical, support from our readers is essential to our future. If you're able to, please support Cleveland Scene today.
