Cleveland's airport might not be as fun as O'hare or have as much shopping as Newark, but in my experience, you get in and out on time, with no hassle. I'd rather have convenience and functionality than nice design/decorations. (at least the ride to concourse D is fun with the big paper airplanes!) You can't enjoy all of the amenities of the above if you can't even get to your gate on time (incompetencies and constant construction of Newark :mad: ) and what good is all shopping if you spend hours sitting on the runway waiting to takeoff (again, Newark)

Hurrah for being pro-active! I know that suburbanites are apt to get pissy about Hopkins airport expansions... but an advantage to living in suburbs near the airport is a 5 minute drive to an airplane that will take you to England or China... oh, the possibilites!

When I think about songs about Cleveland, this one always comes to mind: The Euclid Beach Band, "There's No Surf in Cleveland U.S.A." Intro: There's no surf in Cleveland U.S.A. If you want to see tinsel and stars just go to LA To ride a subway car try New York way Well you can go to Philly amytime If the Liberty Bell rings your chime But we're all here in Cleveland, Ohio And that ain't bad brother don't you know Cause there's a party every night And dancing till the morning light There's such a lot to do REFRAIN Well we can cruise through the rapids all day long (day long day long day long) And we can dance to the music all night long (night long night long night long) Now we can't shine down our woody Or drive a board around all day And man we can't impress the girls on the beach The way they do out in LA Cause there's no surf in Cleveland There's just no surf in Cleveland U.S.A. From east and west and all around the town We're a-ok don't let them put you down The buzzard's singing with the (chip up and down ??) So clap your hands to the radio sound Come on and sing along REFRAIN sung twice Fade out singing "no surf no surf we don't care" over and over

Wow- it's great to see these old pictures of Cleveland! I'd love to canoe in Wade lagoon.

Is anyone here (or someone you know) going to try out for American Idol in Cleveland on August 3-4th at Cleveland Browns Stadium? (not me, by the way)
