Who drives to Cleveland in the middle of Winter?
Especially coming from Pittsburgh? John and I did yesterday. We were at the Mall at Robinson having lunch and he asked me if I wanted to do anything instead of just going back home. We both work at banks so we were off for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. I said sure so we started walking to the car and decided to go to Cleveland.
Man was it cold! You know those signs on the top of banks that tell the temperature? Well it said it was 31 degrees. Ha that’s crap! It was more like 0-yeah zero! It was soooo cold. Cold air really affects me so my chest was hurting and I couldn’t stop coughing. We only walked a few blocks from where we parked since downtown was kinda dead.
We passed by the Quicken Center-where the Cavs play, and Jacobs Field-where the Indians play. Their arenas/stadiums look nice from what I saw. Then we went to the downtown mall. That’s different. I’m from Philly/South Jersey originally so I’m used to downtown having shopping and things to do. There is hardly any shopping in downtown Pittsburgh except a few crappy stores. It was nice to see that again.
We also went to a regular mall but it was dead. No really it’s Randall Park Mall and it’s considered a dead mall. Macy’s is the anchor store and they’re closing this year. More than half of the stores were closed. Of the stores that were still open, half of them were jewelry stores. We started to go to a different mall but when we got home we found out that that’s a dead mall too!
We plan on going back to Cleveland once it gets warm so we should really be able to see all of the sites. We might even hit the House of Blues or maybe the Hard Rock Cafe. Who knows. It should be fun though.
