General Information

The Cuyahoga River - The Crooked River

Watch the sun sink into Lake Erie!

Welcome to Cleveland!

The weather is unpredictable because we are on the lake. If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change! For the most accurate forecast look out your window or see www.wkyc.com for weather!

The best thing about Cleveland is the cost of living. A visit to Cleveland is much cheaper than a visit to a big city. You can see a professional sporting event, concert or play for much less.

Downtown Cleveland Clean & Safe

Thank this guy for keeping it clean!

Public Transportation

The Rapid Transit is located under the Terminal Tower in the center of downtown. It runs west to the airport and east to University Circle. The Award Winning RTA Buses are everywhere. RTA has the best drivers!

Parking Downtown

You don't have to put money in the parking meters on Saturday and Sunday or after 6 P.M. on weekdays.

The biggest complaint by visitors is about panhandlers. They won't assault you! They are persistent and will walk with you. If you feel intimidated give some change. Panhandlers are not homeless.

They need beer and drug money.

Don't Drive Downtown

Safety

Please look at the traffic when you cross the street. Don't look at the light and start walking. Look at the traffic. It's common in Cleveland for 2 cars to roll through a red light.
