yeh I really miss the stores and the wat they did Chrismas up. Where have you gone Sterling linder when Clevelanders need you now.
I want to visit Cleveland now.
Btw is Cedar Point the one in Sandusky? I was part of an online game-server for several years and each year the Americans from the server gathered at Cedar Point. I envyed them each year, they were having such a good time meeting others but I didn't have the chance to go.
Hi Mike. I remember Higbees and May Company... Shopping downtown used to make Christmas...
Oy! Yes, it's in Sandusky. It's the best amusement park in the world. Let me know when you plan to visit, I'll go with you...
I hope you like really... really... big roller coasters...
Can I come too? I rode the Hulk.
(Now, in Ireland, I could get a hard time for saying that last bit.)
"...and Proooouuuuud of it.
