🇺🇸 Cleveland: The Rock 'n' Roll Capital You Didn’t See Coming! 🎸✨
Before visiting, my only knowledge of Cleveland was LeBron James and the Cavaliers 🏀. But wow—this city blew me away! Spotlessly clean 🧼, surprisingly peaceful 🧘♂️, and packed with hidden gems. Beyond its rock legacy, it’s home to the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic (heartcare HQ! ❤️🏥). 🌟 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 🎤🤘 Confession: As a techno-head 🎧⚡, my rock knowledge stops at Cui Jian and Linkin Park… so I skipped it. But rock fans—don’t miss this! (Need a guide next time 😅) 2️⃣ USS COD Submarine Museum 🚢⚓ A WWII-era sub you can crawl inside for a full immersive experience! (Pro tip: Avoid the broken parking meter at the nearby island airport—I got trapped until a cop rescued me! 👮♂️😂) 3️⃣ The Mall 🌳☀️ A massive downtown lawn—perfect for rolling around, sunbathing, or solo soul-searching. Weekend vibes? Serene emptiness. 4️⃣ Fountain of Eternal Life ⛲✌️ A landmark sculpture honoring peace, just a stroll down from The Mall. 5️⃣ Playhouse Square 🎭🌃 Cleveland’s theater district (and nightlife hub). I wandered past like a lone wolf 🐺—next time, I’m diving in! 6️⃣ Flats East Bank 🌉📸 A hip riverside zone under the bridge, packed with young crowds and Vancouver Granville Island vibes. Stayed here—views = Instagram gold. 🚲 How to Explore? Scooter life! 🛴💨 Download Bird/Lime and zip around downtown twice a day—zero walking, max fun. Night rides? Even better (empty streets = speed demon mode 😈). 😋 Low-Key, High-Joy Cleveland’s charm? Zero consumerist pressure—just pure "me time" 🧠💆♂️. (Though I did hear Slyman’s Corned Beef 🥪 is legendary… next trip!) #Cleveland #ClevelandClinic #RockAndRollCapital #TravelOhio #RoadTripFromToronto #WanderDiaries 🌎🚗
