Default Bored silly in Cleveland Help!

Hi

Im in Cleveland at the clinic. They delayed my surgery till monday. Did the rock and roll museum, lookat a bunch of art and now we're looking for something to do this weekend.

So far all I've found is a place called putin bay.

Any suggestions?


Thanks

yea.... there's really nothing to do in cleveland.... puttin bay is cool, more of a college type place... it's an island close to sandusky, bout an hour , hour and a half from cleveland. There's also Cedar point if your into rollercoasters.... maybe catch an indians game

ehh, 9 game road trip starts tomorrow. If you like baseball, the Akron Aeros, or Lake county Captains are very good minor league ball parks, and a good value.

The Science museum next to the rock hall has a big IMAX theatre. Check what's playing, but dont go if you get motion sick, it can make you queasy.

Kinda a strange idea, but if your into football, the Browns open their training camp daily, in Berea, a close in suburb. Directions on their website. I think its free or very inexpensive.

If your into cars, sometimes there are SCCA or different club races at Nelson Ledges or Mid Ohio. Both are about 1-1.5 hours from downtown.

If you're into comedians, sometimes Hilarities on 4th street downtown has someone good. Check into that. Also right on 4th is House of Blues and Cosmic Bowling.

Good Luck

Thanks for the responses. Caught the Indians on kiddie day.

Anybody a walleye fisherman? Gladly trade a little walleye fishing on erie for a little snook and red fishing in 10000 islands in Florida. Haven't caught a walleye in years, used to be pretty good at it.

We're going to try and get a corvette out of hertz. . Any good scenic drives along the lake or elsewhere? My wifes bucking for Putin Bay.

I don't think my heart surgeon would approve of rollercoasters.

Jonas you have a pm

Do Put-in-Bay or Kelley's Island. The bay is great and the party scene is controled by ba you choose. Kelly's Island is more lax and a quieter crowd, grab a bed and breakfast. My wife enjoys Kelly's.

Thoughts are with you on Monday.

Grant, Put in Bay is really nice. Cars are not welcome but you can rent a golf cart to get around. My suggestion is to leave your car across the lake and take the ferry to the area. Real nice boat trip across and I think it leaves every hour. Lots of kids for the weekends, have a great time and keep us posted.

I didn't see it mentioned but the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is downtown Cleveland, or as us Pittsburghers say "the mistake on the lake"!

Yeah, but those Pittsburgh folks are pretty illiterate - notice Maury can't read:
