For those of you in need of cheer in 2021, here it is.
Mike Polk Jr. officially closed “The Factory of Sadness”.
Polk is a comedian and Cleveland native.
Way back in 1999, he opened “The Factory of Sadness” to air his gripes and grievances with the Cleveland Browns.
Many a YouTube videos have been filmed with Polk articulating exactly what Browns fans felt.
Polk wasn’t shy about sharing his feelings for how bad the Browns were, but he was always loyal and ready to come back next week.
But it’s finally closing time because as Polk puts it the Browns are legitimately good.

No, this is not a business that has a planned reopening.
