Cleveland 2025

We spent the morning at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fabulous!

Did you know that Allyn played the guitar and sang professionally in various bars from 1972 – 1974 to put herself through college?

We stopped by the football stadium walking back to the ship.
Cleveland fun factoids:
Even though the city is named after Moses Cleaveland, who founded it 1796, his name was spelled differently.
The first “a” was dropped in 1831 by The Cleveland Advertiser, a newspaper that couldn’t fit its name on the newspaper’s new masthead.
Cleveland firsts:
First indoor shopping mall (The Arcade, which is still open!) in 1890
First automobile sale in the US in 1898
First blood transfusion in 1905
First black mayor in US – Carl B. Stokes 1967
