CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –

With Cleveland getting ready to bask in the limelight of the Republican National Convention we have questioned exactly what the national spotlight

will show.

Like the garbage strewn and graffiti riddled red line. Like our Interstate highways who’s medians contain all kinds of junk. Stuff that we showed stays in place untouched for weeks on end.

Viewer Bob Elsas did some of our work for us. He sent our stories about the litter to convention movers and shakers and got a whole list of things

that are going to be done, and it’s an impressive list — One that depends heavily on volunteers.
