Public Square and Tower City
The heart of Cleveland is a beautiful old skyscraper called the Terminal Tower. At the end of 1920s & # 39; s, the lower inner reshaped 80 & # 39; and to a large, fully enclosed mall called City Tower. This is remarkable, to say the least, with the fountains, marble floors and elegant multi-level structure. It & # 39; and where Clevelanders enough to eat, shop, and go to the ball games. Nearby are the stadiums, baseball, basketball and football. This town who loves the sport. In the basement of Tower City, you can catch the subway, called the Rapid Transit or RTA, on the east and west sides. Rapid fast and convenient. Many business people use in everyday work. You can also go to the airport. Tower City is a hub of activity most Clevelanders.
The Flats
If you like to go for a good meal, the apartment is a picturesque place to go. Many restaurants both east and west banks of the Cuyahoga River that runs next to Terminal Tower. This river where huge ore barges and other boats come and go. The water is used heavily in the summer, both business and personal use everyone. The picturesque western bank Shooters, a popular restaurant that I used to go to the spectacular view of the water from there. There are concerts there in the summer famous bands in various genres.

My friends and I often meet there after work. around

This ring extends for many miles throughout the Cleveland suburbs. My favorite is the Chagrin Reservation in the autumn when all the trees change their colors. Fall is spectacular, if you like the nature, the trees & # 39; bright colors really stand out. There are events like horse shows, exhibitions and others during the year. The Cleveland Zoo is a popular place in the near west side.

These annual traditional festivals like the Virgin Mary, where the streets are closed, and people can get stuck there like sardines. Little Italy is full of galleries.

If you & # 39; lucky to catch it while & # 39; s open, the donuts are hot and fresh. It has been tradition for area residents for many years.

Seven waterfalls through its territory, this charming New England town flavor homely atmosphere occaionally joins filmmakers, and the site has a couple of movies. Chagrin Falls Memorial Day here, if you have a parade and festival (Blossom Time) in the city park. This is the best Americana. Stop at the Popcorn Shop across the street from the city park, where you can get ice cream, popcorn and other snacks. This is a very old, historic building full of history, built directly on top of a waterfall. There is a public benefit staircase to go and see the falls from below. If you go to Chagrin in the summer, this is a must. The heart of the city, there is also an old gazebo that used to be when old bands play music. It's a quaint old town did not want to miss.
