Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland Heights is a very old part of town .... actually labeled "historic".  Some of these homes are absolute mansions.

When I got off the highway (I90) on my way to Big Al's Diner for breakfast, I must have driven through the Jewish part of town, evidenced by the Synagogues and the "kosher" meat markets, before I drove through Cleveland Heights.

Big Al's Diner was an experience.  I ordered a plate of fried green tomatoes just to try.  They were good, kind of "sour" tasting.  I also noticed the use of "pop" as a beverage choice, and of course grits are available for every breakfast choice.  This establishment was featured on TVs Diners and Dives program.  Quite the place.




On my way out of town I drove by the University of Ohio and through a very poor part of town.

I was lucky enough to find this tho ,,,,






And every time I drive to I-90 to see the sights, I pass this ....

Along State Route 45 outside of Country Cousins, a log-furniture company in Austinburg, you'll find the world's largest rocking chair. While it's unknown who built the chair, the big seat has been sitting in Austinburg since the '60s.
