You got the Rock and Roll hall of fame, Lake Erie, murder capital of the world once as well and a few others.
Been there couple times as a kid myself and once as an adult - Back when I was a kid they had the world's tallest "wooden roller coast" the Blue Streak, niceeeeee Cedar Point was always a great destination that all the kids wanted to go to - loved that place.
I attended my first rock concert there (Cleveland) in 1975 - that's giving away my age but there you have it, in the old Baseball park - Atlanta Rhythm Section, Aerosmith, Mahagony Rush, Rod Stewart the Faces and one other band, I was just a kid but it was a blast.

oh the blue streak! that thing is still around, lol
what a rough ride, and one of the first ones I went on. it doesn't appear rough from afar but the curvature gives some high accelerations, along with crappy wood. I remember repeatedly slamming my thigh into the single bar holding me in....
and when was Cleveland the murder capital?!

That part was meant to be funny, sorry in the United States New Orleans holds that title, and Caracas, Venezuela holds that title for the rest of the world, I stand corrected - retraction Hell Detriot and Memphis have Cleveland beat.
