This is everything you want in a walking tour: History, popular and well-known sites, references to movies filmed on location (including A Christmas Story and the Avengers films, and so many highlights. Even recommendations about things nearby. The 2 hours on the tour were just right, and Scott was super-knowledgeable and personable. It didn't even feel like two hours passed. So well worth taking this tour!

Scott told me about a huge Superman exhibit at the Library (that he pointed out) and I never would have known about it- I went after the tour and it was such a great highlight! - You'll see that in an upcoming blog.
The Irish Potato Famine Memorial - is located Down in the Flats at Settler's Landing. The memorial, from 2000, is created by sculptor Paula Blackman and carver Eamon D’Arcy. It commemorates the passing of 150 since the Great Hunger in Ireland ended in 1850. There is a time capsule in the memorial that is set to be opened September 16, 2050. It says: "Lest we forget: To those who died, To those who came and enriched our Cleveland shores We dedicate this monument to you."There is always something new to learn about Cleveland; check out one of our walking tours to learn more - www.toursofcleveland.com
