Off to Cleveland, OH

Recap on Canton, OH:

Munson's was our bar of choice, mainly because it was literally in the hotel parking lot. It was owned by a someone Munson's (famous baseball player) son, had decent bar food, and decently priced drinks. Nice place.

Besides the water issue, the Courtyard was a nice one.

We didn't make it to the Football Hall of Fame, which it seems is Canton's only claim to fame. The rest of Canton is a completely generic town with little to no personality. Tons of retail, some offices, by an expressway, boring.

Did the 50 mile drive to Cleveland in the snow, and this week we are staying at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Cleveland. We are within walking distance of bars, stores, the basketball stadium, etc, so is a decent location and a nice hotel. I'll judge more after I scope out the place a bit more.

Now I have tonight and all tomorrow off before work in North Olmsted on Monday. Thinking we might head to the House of Blues tonight, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow. Any other Cleveland suggestions?

Canton, OH

Well, after a 7+ hour drive to Canton, OH through snow and sleet, we arrived at the Courtyard Marriott. Seems very nice, extremely pleasant reception, nice rooms with a mini-fridge, free internet, nice lobby, indoor pool, nice workout room, has a lot of things within walking distance...but the damn shower wouldn't get hot, and when I called the front desk, they said it's cold out so it's hard to get warm water. Hmm. If I am taking cold showers all week, I'm not going to be a happy camper at all.

C'mon Ohio, I'm determined that these two weeks won't completely suck, but I need some help here. Like hot water and less snow.
