The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame & Museum is located in Downtown Cleveland on the beautiful Lakefront. It's conveniently situated next to Cleveland Browns Stadium along with the Great Lakes Science Center. The Cleveland Amtrak Station as well as a local RTA train station are a short walk from the museum as well and there is ample nearby parking if you plan to drive here. The hall prohibits photography inside the actual museum however they do permit photography in the lobby area outside of the museum. The photos you see here were taken outside or in the lobby area. |

That would be cool to perform on, though I'm a DJ, not a musician so for me, that's not the right venue! |

This was my third visit to the hall, and my first since October 2002. After spending the afternoon there, I drove back to Sandusky and watched my Buffalo Bills lose to the New Orleans Saints 27-7, oh well, the Cleveland Browns weren't having a good year either! I did laundry at the hotel which I planned to do. I have no issue doing this "household chore" when on vacation as it allows me to not have to pack heavily. I drove over to a nearby Chili's restaurant and picked up dinner to have in the hotel room (those Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers may be may not be health food but they are THE BEST!!!) and watched the movie "Goodfellas". Eventually, I decided I no longer needed the rental car so I drove back to Enterprise and dropped off the car and dropped the keys in the safe. I then picked up a taxi to get back to the hotel. Once I got back to the hotel, I walked over to a nearby Speedway gas station and lost $10.00 playing some scratch-off lotto tickets, oh well! I watched some Sunday Night Football on NBC and would attempt to get a minimal amount of sleep as my taxi was scheduled for 2:30am Monday morning. The sleep I attempted to get however would essentially not happen. And so ends today. It's now time to catch a train to Chicago, check out the link below... |
