Oh fun, we got our annual (apparently) disaster preparedness kit because we live (relatively) close to a nuclear power plant.

Oh, I should clarify the voucher is if you want to pick up a supply to keep on hand in your medicine cabinet or whatever. I assume they will be at any and all evacuation sites.

I briefly mentioned in the last chat thread around Christmas that I'd be going to Cleveland in a few weeks, but forgot to ask if anyone has any general recommendations for stuff to do or see. My brother and I are taking my dad up there to see my cousin's son play in a youth hockey tournament, and other than wanting to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and a trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Both of which I know you need to get tickets for in advance), don't have anything in particular planned yet. Not sure of the timing of everything yet, but any ideas or recommendations around or near that stuff would be helpful.

I would say if you can swing the rock hall first do it as the Pro Football one is structured and such a great experience that it bothered me how disjointed the rock hall was.

Not sure of the timing of everything yet, but any ideas or recommendations around or near that stuff would be helpful. Here is Bird in a Blender's unofficial guide to Cleveland: First, the Rock Hall is fine to visit once, but it's a little overpriced, and it's mostly memorabilia. So if you're into that, it's pretty cool. In my opinion, it's nice to do once and never bother again, although they are expanding soon. Free things to do in Cleveland: The Cleveland Museum of Art is nice, not usually crowded, and a decent size, but not huge. You can see most of it in a couple of hours, and they do have some nice collections and I think at least one special exhibit going on. Very nice building. Lake View Cemetery is close to the Museum of Art. Lots of old rich people buried here with some impressive head stones. President Garfield and his wife are buried here as well, but it looks like the monument is temporarily closed. You can drive through or take a walk. Westside Market is a large market with tons of food purveyors. It's a very nice big open building and there's a mix of things like butchers, European import places, restaurants, and a big produce only building. Good for a stroll around, or you can pick up some snacks or lunch. You can also drive by the Christmas Story House. You can go in too, but I don't think it's worth it. This is the house that was used for all the exterior shots, but they renovated the inside to make it look like the actual house. Lots of exterior shots were done in Cleveland, like in Public Square. Food and drink- Cleveland has pockets of really busy areas, and then there are kind of large dead zones in between. For beer, I recommend going to Ohio City, which is also where the Westside Market is located. There are a ton of bars and restaurants all clustered around W 25th St. and Lorrain including Great Lakes Brewing. There's also Hansa, a German beer focused brewery, Market Garden, and Nano Brew for brewpubs, plus several other large bars. I liked Nano and Great Lakes the best, Hansa opened right after I moved out, so I don't know how good that is, but the store attached to it was there first and was excellent. Porco Lounge is a Tiki bar that's pretty good, but kind of all by itself. Personally, I'd stay away from Velvet Tango Room, they have good cocktails, but way overpriced. For coffee, my wife loved Phoenix Coffee Company, there are a few around the city. Mitchell's ice cream is the most popular ice cream spot in the city, and it is very good. Mason's Creamery is a small place and a little more experimental, but I didn't think their ice cream was as good as Mitchell's. Tremont, E. 4th St., and Gordon Square are also good spots with a ton of restaurants. These are my favorite places to eat in no particular order. Toast - Wine bar with a small selection of good food. Happy Dog - Hot dog joint and bar, customize your dog anyway you want it. Also has shows on various days. Prosperity Social Club - Good all around American food. Citizen Pie - Pizza place with three different locations. The one on E 4th is slices of sicilian style, the other two are Neapolitan style. Very good, my favorite pizza in Cleveland. Butcher and Brewer - Large place on E. 4th with good beer. Small plate style, so go there and order a bunch of different stuff to share. Dave's Cosmic Subs - Local sub chain if you want something quick and causal. Johnny's - There's Johnny's Little Bar, which is around the corner from the main restaurant downtown. The main restaurant is kind of a classic Italian joint, while the Little Bar is more casual with good burgers. Momocho - Upscale Mexican Heck's - Good burgers and general American fare. Slyman's Deli - Classic deli joint with humongous corned beef sandwiches. Since you're going in winter, this doesn't apply as much, but the county has a string of nice large parks that surround the city, referred to as the Green Belt. Rocky River Reservation, North Chagrin, and Garfield Park are nice. If you're willing to drive a little bit, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is like 45 minutes south of the city and has some nice hiking. There is also Playhouse Square, which is the second largest theater district in the country after Broadway in NYC. If you'd like to see a show, check out all the theaters and see what they have. That's all I got for now. If I think of anything else, I'll post again.

Sister & I went to the mausoleum our parents are interred and afterwards had a bit of a hard time finding a place to get dinner, so we ended up hitting up 21st Century Pizza for a couple slices to take home. As soon as we arrived she proceeds to to this:  I didn't know I was related to Marion Cobretti.

I played the main game when it first came out and promptly forgot everything that happened I guess because I didn’t remember a lot of it this time.
