Cleveland

The Residence Inn downtown is a classy place, and this is no overstatement.  It is built in a old building, perhaps an historic one, and Marriott has worked to preserve many features of the time.  Check out the main hallway:

Do not adjust your picture. This is a Residence Inn. No joke.

The room is huge with 20 foot ceilings.    I think each room probably has individual character.  For example, we noted a placard outside one guest room that said “Caution: step up into the room.”

So, as I tweeted this morning, Clark stirred first as he is wont to do and left the room.  I followed him to the breakfast room, again in search of coffee.  Here is the breakfast room:

Beautiful stained glass skylights.

Breakfast was eggs, sausage, coffee, and a healthy dose of local Fox news.  No offense to local morning show anchors, but the breakfast consensus was that we love our jobs and would never take theirs.  No thanks.  The clincher for me was the four hosts sitting on a couch grooving, snapping fingers, and singing along to Wham!’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-go together with guest Miss Ohio.  Who then got on stage to sing opera.

Stay classy, Cleveland, as Ron Burgundy would say.

Today we are going to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.  Tonight, a Pittsburgh Pirates game against Cleveland, but we’ll watch it in Pittsburgh.
