the rightfully given nickname to the city of cleveland ohio because the city truly is one of the biggest mistakes in the world. not only has cleveland managed to set a river on fire but they also havent won a sports championship since 1948
im looking on the map for cleveland but its nowhere to be found.

thats because they changed the name to mistake by the lake

refers to Municipal Stadium, former home to the Cleveland Browns and Indians. It's successor, Jacob's field, is sometimes called the "Jake" by the lake.

Mistake by the lake is what Cleveland Ohio is called because it is right on the lake and it is the worst city in America .It seems like Cleveland was just a big mistake to even have been built. poverty high crime and drugs bullying bad schools bad hospitals the rich run every thing and the poor and not get out to another county .
Hey why is that guy so mean dirty and nasty ? Because he comes from the place called the mistake by the lake know as Cleveland.

Sometimes ignorant people think this can refer to any number of cities located next to a lake; obviously this is incorrect.
Jason: "Fuck the Chicago Bears, they're from the mistake by the lake!"
