| | Went for a road trip to Cleveland last weekend. What a weird city! It's very sparse, and the weekend is definitely not a time to visit - there's almost nothing to do, and on Sundays, the city practically closes down. No shops, no restaurants, nothing to look at. However, there are a ton of bridges and highways with NO TRAFFIC. The areas are split up very strangely. There are 3 stadiums that are within 10 blocks of each other, and that's pretty much all of the downtown area. It's the same area where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Great Lakes Science Center are. We wanted to take a look at the Museum of Art because it's supposedly one of the best in the country, but it's closed due to construction. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is pretty cool. Expensive to get into! $22 per person! But there's a lot to look at and the shop is pretty cool to browse through as well. I bought a bunch of pins and a tshirt of Sesame Street characters playing in a band and it says "School of Rock". Very me. We also checked out the Westside Market, which is I guess is the equivalent of our Farmer's Market. But this is indoors and much larger. They have an entire section devoted to produce, and the other section has tons of butchers and bakeries. I'm guessing there's a large Eastern European population. It would be nice to have something like that in Brooklyn. However, the COOLEST thing in Cleveland, was this place - http://www.howlatthemoon.com/. We desperately need one of these places here! I would SOOOO work here! It's a dueling piano bar! It's the coolest freakin thing ever! It was so much fun. The guys that were performing were definitely working up a sweat and it looks like incredibly hard work, but I am so willing to do that sort of thing. I never wanted to be a big time performer but THIS is for me. I will dream of this for years to come. It would be the main reason for me to go back to Cleveland. |
