What I thought of "Cleveland" was from this movie...and it was wrong!...


So I had never been to Cleveland till last fall. I'm a Detroiter who went to go see the Tigers/Guardians Playoff Game One in Cleveland. My Tigers got trounced...but I gotta say...I was surprised by the city. My only insight into Cleveland was from this movie, one I'm a fan of, Howard the Duck. And, man, either the city changed or they were just wrong! It was a very nice place to visit. Beautiful stadium. Lots of cool places to eat/drink. Virtually all the people from Cleveland treated us with respect. Even the ribbing was good natured. The only time we really got heckled was from a car that was driving by while we were walking back to our car, someone just said "Tigers suck DIIIICK!" but that just made me chuckle anyway. But yeah, by the end of the game, my brother and I had about 8 new friends from the section we were sitting in, all great guys. Despite the blowout game, we were all laughing and happy and it was just a fun, racous time at the stadium. I hope we meet each other in the playoffs again so I can go to another game there. Fun little town, surprisingly so!

Damn, so the "That's a duck, man!" guy isn't still out riding busses around? :(
