| - I don't care if you are from out of town or have lived in Cleveland your whole life, you NEED to check out Lolly the Trolley! A friend and I took a tour today and the weather was beautiful, the guide (Lois) pleasant and knowledgeable, and the tour ended with me feeling even more in love and proud of Cleveland.
Next time you encounter someone who wants to knock our city, just punch them in the face. Not really, but you should stand up for your awesome city and educate that ignorant person on all of the wonderful things that make up this badass city on the lake. Sure, we have had some hard times, but we are definitely making a strong comeback! On the trolley tour I got to see this rising up with stops in the Flats where new condos are being constructed, a drive by that gorgeous new bling (chandelier) Playhouse has on display, a view of the new convention center (see you soon, republicans), and in the thousands of people out enjoying the Gay Games.
This tour shows you some hidden gems and provides neat facts/tidbits on Cleveland and the people who have called this city home. Things you wouldn't normally discover while you're busy zipping around the city. (There is a secret tunnel that was used for the underground railroad; Bob Hope got his start here; mail home delivery started here; the Wicked Witch of the West grew up here; Chef Boyardee came from a real chef that lived in Cleveland.)
So take some time to stop, smell that Lake Erie air, and appreciate.
