But anyhow, it's on my list of "must see" places, sounds like they have some pretty good items to see.

Hop a flight to NYC - lots of stuff to do there

The term "rock n roll" was coined by a Cleveland DJ, Alan Freed.

If you're a football fan, you could try the Pro Football Hall of Fame, about 45 miles south of CLE (I believe) in Canton.

Oh god...slyman's is awesome! I'd say those sandwiches are atleast 5". I thought NYC had some good deli's. I've never been to a deli, before slyman's, that had SRO crowd and made you wait! however, that sandwich is soooooooooooo worth the wait! ^ ^ ^

How about this is where the term "Rock and Roll" had its birth. Plus a rich music history. Do a google search of "Alan Freed, disc jockey" for more info. Rock on.

One of the reasons given on the show cancellation was because they had trouble getting acts that wanted to come to CLE. Main reason they hold the induction ceremony in NYC. Plenty of luxury hotels, restaurants and attractions for the inductees and acts.
