Just to be clear - my remarks weren't at all directed at you, DRC.

I can get a little defensive of the city -- esp in lieu of some of the virtual eye-rolling from board-members about Cleveland as a suitable host for the N'tl.

I hope your "open-minded(ness)" is justly rewarded.

Too, hope you (and all n54 members trekking to Cleveland) have a great National !!

I'm one of the very few that actually enjoys when the National is in Cleveland. I actually prefer it over Chicago. Hotels, food, etc,... are all less expensive than Chicago. It is very easy to get around in the city by car or the subway train. There are a lot more tourists attractions than people think and the city has a lot of really nice restaurants, bars, and clubs.

Alan,
I couldn't agree with you more! Going to Cleveland is a very relaxing trip compared to Chicago for me at least. I love yhe National when it is in Cleveland. Look forward to meeting you and others again this year.

Got a growler of that in the fridge right now. Like everything else they brew, it's first rate. Can't wait to get home tonight.
