Living Well on Next to Nothing, In Cleveland

The Slovak Garden…

Hello Cleveland, 

I understand that I have similar interests to most senior citizens.  With this being said….

Today I found much enjoyment on my Sunday afternoon Lolly the Trolley scenic city tour.  I’ve been wanting to take one of these tours since I moved here five years ago.  Thanks to the recent buy-one-get-one free ticket offer I snagged on Groupon, that long awaited dream became a reality! 

I am now substantially more knowledgeable than when I awoke this morning, and I can’t wait to break out these facts on all my many coworkers forced to fly here for corporate training……

  • Cleveland is the first city to have electricity 
  • We are the first city to establish free mail delivery 
  • We literally have money growing on trees (visit the Federal Reserve Mint Museum)
  • From a Birds-eye-view, the E. 9th street seating outside of Progressive Field spells out “Who’s on First” 
  • Rockefeller Park contains over 30 cultural gardens (Slovak made the list) 
  • A famous resident is none other than Chef Boyardee  
  • Topiary Dinosaurs reside outside of the Natural History Museum 

Big thumbs up to this tour, to Eva my tour guide, and to Julie Dobson - for stepping in and coming with me since Nick wanted to stay at home and watch the Browns Lose.
