My friend from San Diego came in for a few days and she loved everything - especially the architecture. And she adored the Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and University Circle areas (she was sad the museum was still under construction...as were most of the roads. Orange barrels can kill any sightseeing buzz). The people were nice, the food was yummy (she got to enjoy Taste of Cleveland) and I could see her snapping close-ups of those views we find so commonplace: geese by a pond, the brick buildings, the industrial metal...there's hope through someone else's eyes. We just don't see it on our own. What would make a California person want to visit Cleveland? My friend from San Diego came in for a few days and she loved everything – especially the architecture.
