@@LauraDunavant-c2v Thank you so much! 😊 I hope I can visit again. It was such a beautiful area and I only had a day to explore.

I agree! 😊 Cleveland has a lot to offer and I would rank it above many other cities in USA. Thanks for your recommendations! I will be back to see more.

@@jerrycrawford2939 Thank you so much Jerry 🙏😊 Trying to stay positive as much as possible, but some days it’s harder than others haha 😂 Hope you’re enjoying your weekend in Kentucky. I’m just on the road in Massachusetts this week and will share a new story soon.

@@AK-ey2uy I would like to try the buses next time 🚍 😊 But I would say I haven’t been to a city in the USA that has public transit as good as cities in Asia or Europe. It’s something I wish they’d invest more money on. If there isn’t a train or bus coming every 5 to 10 minutes, it’s not really efficient.

@AtHomeAnywhere The U.S. is very car-centric. I would like to see some high-speed rail lines for long trips, but who knows if that will ever happen.

@@jasminelatiyah2750 I’m glad to hear it’s progressing, even if it’s slow. 😊

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely have to check it out next time.

@@Bailark the only places I really associate Lincoln with are Kentucky (birthplace), Illinois(his professional working life) , Indiana, Washington DC (President), Gettysburg PA (famous speech and I grew up there haha 😂), and of course Chicago and New York City have some famous sites. Ohh…who can forget Mt Rushmore 😊. But I’m glad he had support in Ohio during his time as president and he did visit a few times.

@@AtHomeAnywhere So many problems with this. It's hard to know where to begin. Yes, those are the places of his origin, but as a President of the United States, you can "associate" him with the entire country. As the President during the Civil War, you can "associate" him with the entire Union. His face is on the penny, and the $5 Dollar bill. His funeral train went across country and stopped for days in several places (Columbus Ohio being one). Kids dress up as him for pageants and Halloween. He is a figure of myth and legend. Ohio State University, (a land grant institution) (a Lincoln policy in case you didn't know), has a high rise dorm called Lincoln Tower. Most land grant colleges have at least one Lincoln Hall. Seriously, dude. Where are you from?

@@AtHomeAnywhere Also...just to add, take a map of the US. Locate Kentucky and Illinois. Between them are Indiana and Ohio. Travel was by steamboat, horse or train, since cars and planes did not exist yet. Travel would require some time and experience within the states between your destinations.

@ I was just thinking that 😊

@@Bailark I totally forgot about the penny and five dollar bill 😅 my bad…and I I agree with everything you said.

Thank you so much for your kind words Ellary ☺I think you have a great channel by the way and I enjoy your storytelling style. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Thank you. Wishing all the best this year for you and yours as well.

@@markjastrzebski2065 that makes sense about the downtown area not being crowded. I spend quite a bit of time in Asian and European cities which have more vibrant downtown areas than US cities. It’s more about where the people live. I will have to explore more of the metro areas of Cleveland. I’ve heard good things about the suburbs.

@@obieacres4676 I’m glad to hear that. The day I was there it just seemed a bit empty on the streets downtown. I’m guessing it’s because not many people live in that part of the city. I could be totally wrong though.

@@WhoRANtheWorld Thank you so much 🙏😊 I use a DJI pocket 3 and an iPhone 13. I have used bigger Sony cameras in the past but found them too heavy for travel filming.

Glad you enjoyed the walk 😊 Connecticut is a beautiful state.

I’m glad it’s helpful for you 😊 I’ve only been twice and both times for work.

Hopefully it can get better. There really needs to be more invested in the communities for the people and infrastructure / public spaces.

I would love to check out San Diego. I've been in the past a few times but it's been a minute since I was able to visit.

Ohio is boring period

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in Cleveland. I wish I had seen it back then. I will have to explore more outside the downtown area when I get a chance to visit again.

It is pretty close to a lot of other Major cities such as Chicago, New York, Boston, Detroit, DC so it does seem to be in a good spot.

It is a lot of fun, but I really want to see life outside the big cities

It was fun to visit for sure 😁 Hope you're enjoying the holidays!

That's true. some of the older buildings have a European Influence and look amazing

Yeah, Dillard's is still here.

Yep, I strongly agree, especially if you ever knew anyone with a business in the area when the area has been BOOMING Not only is the area booming, but I've known someone with a limousine business around that area, and limousine businesses CAN'T survive in a dying area So after learning there are multiple limousine businesses around that particular area, you KNOW Cleveland is definitely NOT DYING

Those sound like great memoires! Thank you so much for sharing!

That arcade was the colonial arcade.
