We're back to talk about some of the awesome areas we discovered while we are out traveling for interviews, and we're in the great city of Cleveland Ohio today! This is the first of a few segments highlighting some amazing facets of this fantastic town! Let us know some cool areas you've discovered!

Public Square is the central plaza of downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Based on an 18th-century New England model, it was part of the original 1796 town plat overseen by Moses Cleveland, and remains an integral part of the city's center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Public Square is often the site of political rallies and civic functions, including a free annual Independence Day concert by the Cleveland Orchestra. At the Balloonfest '86, close to 1.5 million balloons rose up from Public Square, engulfing the Terminal Tower and setting a world record.

Historic buildings and architecture Terminal Tower Observation Deck, 50 Public Sq, ☏ +1 216 736-7646. Sa noon-5PM, Su noon-4PM. It was the second tallest building in the world when it was built in 1929. Now it's the second tallest building in Cleveland. The building was constructed as the main railroad terminal in Cleveland, and serves as the main hub of the RTA Rapid Lines (below the retail mall levels). Go to the Terminal Tower's observation deck on the 42nd floor to observe the surrounding environs (particularly, Lake Erie, the winding Cuyahoga River, and the juxtaposition of downtown against industrial uses to the south and west). The observation deck is only open on weekends. $5. Terminal Tower (Q598604)
Hope Memorial Bridge (Lorain-Carnegie Bridge). Named for the father of Bob Hope, the famous actor/comedian who grew up from early childhood in Cleveland (though born in London). Hope Sr. worked on its construction. The bridge is framed by four art deco pylon sculptures known as the Guardians of Traffic portraying the evolution of forms of ground transportation. The sculptures are the source of the local baseball team's new nickname. In addition to a large number of jack-knife and lift bridges along the Cuyahoga, one of the world's few remaining "Swing Bridges" is still in use, connecting the east and west banks of the Flats entertainment district.
