A presidential bar and more: Cleveland for conventioneers
[...] for GOP delegates and anybody else needing a place to kick back when the Republicans come to town to pick their presidential nominee July 18-21, the Millard Fillmore Presidential Library might just be the place.
The bar is located in an emerging hipster 'hood called the Waterloo Arts & Entertainment District, amid businesses on Waterloo Road like Blue Arrow Records, Star Pop vintage clothing, Citizen Pie pizza and the Beachland Ballroom, a live music club.
On a recent visit, a man was throwing up in a sidewalk trash can a few doors down while a shouting match took place at a bus stop.
In the Ohio City neighborhood, you'll find beautifully restored Victorian homes, brew pubs like Bier Markt serving craft beer and artisanal pizza, and the historic, vibrant West Side Market.
Vendors at the market illustrate Cleveland's proud ethnic heritage, a melting pot that ranges from Czuchraj Meats, selling homemade beef jerky, to Reilly's Irish Bakery, offering shepherd's pie and Cornish pasties.
Rock, Power and Politics, an exhibit about rock music's activism in civil rights, anti-war and other protest movements.
[...] just outside Cleveland, you can visit Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
