Why did we go to Cleveland??? Pretty much, just to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But as a bonus, we also got to see little Ralphie's house from "A Christmas Story." I'm a nerd... I love that movie!
I must say that Cleveland had a much nicer downtown than I expected. And it was smaller than I thought it would be - as we walked the length of it fairly quickly.
"A CHRISTMAS STORY" HOUSE:
This was the house where they filmed the exterior shots from that classic movie. Some guy bought it and turned it into a museum and tour. We didn't want to pay the $7.50 to enter, so we just took some pics of the exterior.
Out back, where Ralphie almost shot his eye out with the Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot model air rifle.
Ralphie lived on "Cleveland Street."
Unfortunately, they didn't allow cameras inside the main display rooms, so I didn't get pictures of all the cool memorabilia from Elvis, the Beatles, and other cool icons of rock. Overall, it was a great museum -- very well done.
Gotta love the architecture!
The ZZ Top - Eliminator car.
The cars U2 used in their "Zoo" tour.
Johnny Cash's tour bus that he used for many years. He supposedly spent over $500,000 renovating the thing. I looked inside... big waste of money!
