@Elandra77 Yes, Goodyear.

I have never been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even though I grew up near Cleveland.

I have been the Football Hall of Fame. But that was when I was a kid so I do not remember much.

We went to Cedar Point a lot. I had fun.

I went to college in Ohio, then left for graduate school. I never moved back, and I never will.
@JoyfulSilence As you can tell form my reply I am in Pa. So we have a love/hate relationship due to the Browns and to a lesser extent the benga;s. LOL

I always loved Sea World/Geauga Lake better that Cedar Point- I hate Cedar Fair now. With a passion. What they did to Geauga Lake was a shame. Leveled it to the ground.

I can remember going past Streetboro and Strongsville on the Turnpike and getting off close Macademia Commons on Rt 8-and staying at the Holiday Inn. That was short drove to Akron. plus rt 8 took us straight up in Randall Park which back them had a world famous mall that was so fun to shop at. Then the blacks and gangs came and people started to go cross town to Parmatown heights.

Those were fun times. I was one of the 86,000 + that saw the Stones in Old Cleveland Stadium in 1978!

This made e feel at home that day. we have a radio station WDVE that back then had a big rivalry wit WMMS, Cleveland--the buzzard. The gates opened three hours before any show and they weer pumping in Stones music. from WMMS? Yep Ah--nope--LOL from WDVE in Pittsburgh--in another state and IN the rival stadium of the Browns that played in Cleveland Stadium. I felt at home and laughed while others complained.

@Elandra77 Yes, the Browns-Steelers rivalry was intense. But I never got much into sports and mostly have ignored it my adult life. I have lived out of Ohio for 22 years. My boss is from the Pittsburgh area but I don't care. I have no clue most of the time how the Browns are doing.

I have never been to Sea World, but had been to Geauga Lake. It was OK. What is Cedar Fair? Oh, they tore Geauga Lake down? Oh well.

I am not too familiar with all those areas near Cleveland and Akron. I lived west of Cleveland.

I was 4 years old in 1978!
