Amazing read coming from CNN!! I'm still disappointed that all of the department stores are gone from downtown, though.Tower City's largely filled the void there.

The last time I stayed downtown was Thanksgiving 2001 at the Holiday Inn Express which was the old First National Bank, I think, at E. 6th and Euclid next to where the old Bond store was. Not a lot going on at the time with about 1/3 occupancy from the 9/11 hangover.
And I was also there in summer 2002 in Beachwood and Thanksgiving 2003 in Mayfield.
The best time was the 1997 World Series which, as luck would have it, coincided with an aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. That was one wild ride!
