A person that showcases qualities of the city they live, work, and play in, but not in a stereotypical fashion.
 

CITY CENTRIC focuses on a unique set of characters who reflect the fabric of their community. This PBS Western Reserve series showcases the talented, dedicated, caring and inspirational people who shape their communities, and explores how their communities have, in turn, shaped them. Each episode offers a look at one city in our region, focusing on notable community members who have unique roles: entrepreneur, revitalizer, entertainer, humanitarian, politician and future leader. All of these people contribute to what their city is and where it is heading.
