History
Cleveland was founded in 1796 and became a major manufacturing center. John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, made a majority of his fortune in Cleveland, which brought the city to become the fifth largest in the country. The Terminal Tower, located in the heart of downtown Cleveland, was once one of the world’s tallest buildings. Dedicated in 1930, the building was part of a skyscraper boom in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

Culture and Entertainment Most famously noted for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this city has points of interest and entertainment for everyone.

If you are interested in the performing arts, Cleveland Playhouse Square is noted as the second largest Performing Arts center in the United States. Also noteworthy is the Cleveland Orchestra, considered one of the finest orchestra’s in the world. To truly appreciate classical music, make sure you bring a lawn chair and see the Cleveland Orchestra perform at the beautiful Blossom Music Center, located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

The city of Cleveland has also been the spotlight of many movies including Major League, Air Force One, Happy Gilmore, Marvel’s The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Welcome to Collinwood, The Soloist, Fun Size, Antwone Fisher, A Christmas Story, and scenes of Spiderman 3. The city was also home of the popular sitcom, the Drew Carey Show.
