I have heard of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and would think that would be the signature attraction for most visitors to the city. It would be nice to combine the R & R Hall of Fame with the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton on a trip some day. They are only an hour apart if I am not mistaken.
Last October, my wife and I went to those two places on consecutive days. We had been to the R&R Hall before, but wanted to see the 50 years of The Rolling Stones exhibit. Very cool. The NFL Hall was great, too. Plenty of mention of the Baltimore Colts, and very cool that the "Road to the SuperBowl" movie was about the Ravens' victory.
I was surprised that there were no blimp-related attractions in Akron, other than just driving by the hangar, although on our way to Cleveland we did see the blimp airborne on its way to its summer base in Florida.

In the summer driving home from work in the evening we used to see the blimp heading toward Cleveland for the Indians games. Seen it for Browns games too.
I just don't think that anyone ever hears anything about Cleveland. There's no real exposure for the city. Hopefully the RNC will help with that. I just don't know anything about it.
The young and ambitious are actually moving to Cleveland these days. Businessmen who worked in Manhattan are starting to move to downtown Cleveland and enjoy it a lot better because it costs like 3X less and there isn't as much traffic, but there's more things to do. Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, University Heights, University Circle, Tremont, Ohio City, Waterloo and North/South Collinwood are starting to attract younger people too.
Key to cities; especially those trying to revitalize rundown areas...avoid areas that include the word Heights.
I think of that show, Hot in Cleveland, and then I have to go do something to lower my blood pressure. Maybe someday I'll actually visit and then that problem will end.
YES! Congratulations to Cleveland and Northeast Ohio! This Sixers fan will have more of an incentive to dislike playing you but I'm glad that LeBron did the right thing this time.
