I wasn't impressed with the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame when I was there in 97.   However, the bat exhibit at the zoo forced me to watch them for almost an hour.   At which point, my wife was getting pissed, but she lasted about 45 minutes watching.    I've never seen an exhibit like it since, it was remarkable.  

The Watermark Seafood Restaurant is in the Flats.   It's known nationwide.   All kinds of chicks in the Flats area.  

There used to be a WWII submarine there, the USS Cod(?) that we went in as well, for free.   They also had land based 40mm Bofors to sit on, and swivel/elevate, etc.   I don't know if it's still there.   That was adjacent to the HOF, on the East if my memory serves me correctly.

Just looked, it's still there and is now a National Historic Landmark.   IIRC, this is one of the most "complete" WWII subs around.   Most parts that have been replaced on it, have been from sister ships.

I’m about an hour from Cleveland; I only go there when I really have to though.  It has most of the things that big cities have; good museums, theaters, sporting events, etc.  If you’ve only rarely had the opportunity to walk around a big city downtown; it’s kind of cool.  If you have had many experiences in big city downtowns, however, it will probably seem like a big “so what”.   I enjoyed one walk around Cleveland once, but I live in a farm/suburb area and rarely see a building over six stories tall.  My favorite thing about Cleveland is when I get to come home.

From my photoblog:

I learned that there are no public observatories in any of Cleveland's high rises.  The top (57th) floor of Key Tower, however, is being remodeled.  This is the highest occupied floor of any building between New York and Chicago.  The pictures below may have been taken from that floor.

Whitey's Hamburgers, The Flats and of course the Rock and Roll hall of fame are all important boxes to check.

You could always go out fishing and last I heard the Perch were still biting hard.  They make some gooooooood eating but you can also find some great places to eat.  It's been a little while since I've been up there for any appreciable time but the hotels will have some good information on places to go.  10 year ago I'd say Hornblowers at Burke Lakefront would be a good place but it spiraled downhill and closed last year or within the last 2 years ago due to poor quality service and declining quality food.

OK,
I’ll take it back a bit.  Cedar Point Amusement Park is about an hour away and is rated the best roller coaster park in the world.  I believe it has the most roller coasters in any one park.  So, if you like that sort of thing…
