How could not one have reviewed this? We exited the plane in the Gate A area and the shoe shine was the first thing we noticed. We were in town for the weekend and my date had the most dull, scuffed, never been shined before dress shoes in tow. I suggested he get them shined immediately.
The older man, who shined his shoes, was very friendly and talkative. He went over his shoes 4 times and made them look brand new. He my date plastic shoe bags to keep his shoes protected until the wedding.
The man (I think Richard was his name) was very funny and I eavesdropped while they had "man talk". He dropped a few jewels and gave some life advice. We walked away with an excellent first impression of Cleveland. A city we've both come to enjoy.
We were disappointed when we were leaving Cleveland and went back to the gate only to find that the man was not working that day. For 6 bucks its worth the experience and conversation even if you don't really need a fresh shine.
