Come On Down to Cleveland-Town Everyone!
Forget all the negativity you’ve heard about “The Mistake On the Lake” or the defamatory mythos including a certain river on fire because of the amount of industrial waste polluting it. It’s all B.S., folks. Things are great in Cleveland.
My friends Cory and Kathryn pulled out all the stops for me during my stay, Cleveland-style. We ate satanically decadent grilled cheese sandwiches at Melt, took a tour of the Cleveland Museum of Art (where Cory works as a curator), ate awesome gyros at the West End Market, and raw fish at Sushi Rock (see :22 in the following video: all spurious lies, by the way).
I topped it off with a look at Bruce Springsteen bric-a-brac in a special exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (where Kathryn works). Looking good, Cleveland.
