I want to love Cleveland

As the title says, I’ve really wanted to fall in love with Cleveland. However since moving out here less than 2 years ago, I’ve been robbed twice, once at gunpoint where they stole my car, and one was a car break in.

Everyone here speaks love in volumes for the cities’ arts and food, which I have experienced, I really enjoy places like Doinks and Karamu House. However I just find myself struggling to leave my apartment. I feel a resentment for what happened to me because I grew up loving this city, but I just don’t feel safe walking around and I’m too frugal to pay for parking in a city I live in. I know because of talks with my therapist that I’ll only get worse if I shelter myself too much; So I’m asking here what places/locales made you really love Cleveland, places that you enjoy solo or with a group of friends?

College student too btw so I can’t drop excessive money on stuff, but if it’s worth I’ll considering saving for “fancier events” if you will.
