    You forgot the Cleveland Museum of Art, the largest and most press museum in the city, right next door to the, under remodeling, natural history museum. The CMA is truly the gem of the city. And, if the Cleveland Orchestra is performing, catching them at Severance Music Center is amazing, and the building is spectacular.

    Yes! Josh, I've enjoyed your videos for years. So glad you came to Cleveland and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Great ideas about Canton and Mansfield too, certainly worth the trip. Hope you get the chance to come back to Ohio again soon. Cheers! - John Pana

    Really surprised that you omitted the Cleveland Museum of Art. This world-class museum is located in a beautiful park on the east side, not far from President Garfield's tomb that you mentioned, as well as Symphony Hall, Case Western Reserve University (top-ranked school in Ohio and among the top research schools in the USA), and the Cleveland Clinic (ranked number 2 hospital in the entire world).

    You forgot: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Playhouse Square, Presti's (Little Italy), The Flatts, East 4th St. nightlife, 58th Floor of the Key Tower Building where you can see the entire city. Props for recognizing Slymans, and League Park though. Granted you cant see everything but there a few that are staples to Cleveland.

    Hey Josh! Love your videos! I've lived in the Cleveland suburbs all my life. you should have gone a to Whisky Island and Wendy Park while at Edgewater park. Also the old Coast Guard station is there as well. Also, Little Italy is a must while in Cleveland. Lots of great Italian food there. Also for day trips, nothing is bigger than Cedar Point Amusement park. And next time you're here, HMU and I will take you to Put-In-Bay. We can cruise around the island in a golf cart! Keep up the great work

    Wrong Slymans in the video. Going to the "Tavern" locations will give people the WRONG impression. They are absolutely terrible. Recommending them is quite insulting. Only the downtown St. Clair location is the original and only one to visit for either breakfast or lunch.

    Hello there stop it. I just left Cleveland Ohio yesterday. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio we now live in Tampa. Sent @califiorniathroughmylens a nice shout out from our female veterans girl trip to Napa Valley wine train, earlier this month. You gave us a lot of things to do while in San Francisco and Sonoma. Thank you!
