The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
More than 25 years ago, leaders in the music industry joined together to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation in New York City to celebrate the music and musicians that changed the world. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened its doors in 1995 on the shores of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Its mission is to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. Cleveland ranked first in a public poll conducted by USA Today asking where the Hall of Fame should be located. After much competition and many visits to potential sites by Foundation members, Cleveland is chosen as the permanent home for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in May of 1986. Along with the voice of the public, there is much history of rock and roll in Cleveland. Deejay Alan Freed first coined the term “rock and roll” on his Cleveland station WJW in the early 1950’s and the first rock and roll concert was held in the city soon thereafter. On June 7, 1993, ground was broken for the Museum in Cleveland and in September of 1995 and after 12 years in the making, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened its doors. It is the world’s first museum dedicated to the living heritage of rock and roll music. The Museum features dynamic interactive exhibits, intimate performance spaces and presents a rotation
THECITIVIEW.COM
of artifact and costume displays from the museum’s permanent collection. Exhibits showcase specific eras, styles and milestones, as well as highlight the many facets of rock and roll’s evolution. The Museum’s exhibits are designed to provide the visitor with a unique, interactive experience. The collection of artifacts and stage costumes is enhanced by the combination of state-ofthe-art technology and innovative film and video. The Museum offers a comprehensive retrospective on rock and roll’s origins, development, legends and immense impact on global culture. The Museum presents public programming, including the popular Hall of Fame Series, which regularly features Hall of Fame inductees in an informal interview and performance setting. The annual American Music Masters Series is dedicated to the exploration of an early influence inductee’s music and enduring impact on popular music. Since the Museum’s opening, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has welcomed more than nine million visitors from around the world and reaches more than 50,000 students and educators each year through its education programs on site and at great distances. In 2012, the Rock Hall opened its Library and Archives – the world’s first of its kind – in downtown Cleveland, as well.

America’s Playing Field
by Kevin Yazell
As a young boy growing up in the Midwest in the early 1970’s, my Sunday afternoons in the fall and winter were filled with the NFL and the resulting family gatherings they then ensued. The voice of Curt Gowdy will be forever etched into my conscience as he called the games for the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. Always in the middle of all of those games was a commercial highlighting the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The discussion in the room would always then turn to the Hall of Fame and how we might plan a visit. And where exactly was Canton, Ohio? (none of us knew!) We were football crazed and the thought of all of that memorabilia and official game stats and history all in one place was almost too much to imagine at the time. It took me about 40 years to make that journey but the Hall lived up to my expectations. Some of my favorite players from those days are even still recognized there! The Hall of Fame of course now has much more history to display and the various changes that the game has endured over its lifetime are well documented. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is also much much larger now that it would have been in 1973. You’ll find authentic NFL team memorabilia, the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a complete W-L record of every team’s performance and schedule since their inception, videos, instant replay machines and literally everything you would expect and hope to see.
26
You can also design your own Super Bowl ring, see the actual ones and the Hall of Fame Gallery includes a bust for every inducted player. (Even OJ Simpson) At the end of your visit you will arrive at the Museum Store, where all 32 teams are respresented. This is the ultimate stop for you or your favorite football fan’s every related NFL need. On top of all of this excitement (or actually in the middle of it) you must take a moment to visit the Game for Life holographic theater.Narrated by “Broadway” Joe Namath, this film translates the competitive spirit and team building experience of everyone who ever has or will play the game into real life and how important these lessons are for everyone everyday. A visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame is an exhilarating experience that is a must do for even the most casual fan of the NFL. You’ll leave the museum with a much better understanding of the game and its impact on its fans throughout the world. For more information please visit: profootballhof.com

Dining in Little Italy
In the mid-1800’s, Italian sculpture Joseph Carrabelli began his famous granite and marble works at the top of the “hill” on Mayfield Rd. The area between the railroad and the top of the “hill” became home to Carrabelli and the many Italian families that came to Cleveland to work, and Little Italy was born. Today the traditions hold strong with the rich cultural heritage and the spirit of artistry that Joseph Carrabelli began more than 130 years ago. Currently, more than 20 galleries, 15 restaurants, many professional-service businesses, two schools and Holy Rosary Church thrive in this village. Known for its Art Galleries and the finest Italian cuisine, Little Italy is host to the City’s famous Art Walks, The Feast of the Assumption, the Columbus Day Parade, Taste of Little Italy, Bocce Tournament and incredible Alfresco Summer Nights!

Historic Little Italy in Cleveland, Ohio is located adjacent to the city’s cultural district, University Circle. Case Western Reserve University, museums, their world famous symphony, and botanical garden are within walking distance to Little Italy.

Dining in The Warehouse District The streets of W. 6th, W. 9th and W. St. Clair are lined with restaurants and entertainment venues, making the Warehouse District one of downtown Cleveland’s must-do experiences. The Historic Warehouse District is Cleveland’s first neighborhood and downtown’s oldest commercial center. During the 1800’s, The Warehouse District was a major hub of manufacturing in the US. It is now a popular place to live and do business as many of the warehouses have been rehabilitated into residences and commercial offices. The Historic Warehouse District is once again a nerve center of activity for downtown Cleveland. A perfect mix of the past with contemporary ideas of today!

The Flats The area near downtown better known as “The Flats” has been an integral part of the city’s history since its very beginning and continues to be a nerve center of activity and development today. In 1796, the city’s founder, Moses Cleaveland and his survey party landed on this area that borders both sides of the Cuyahoga River at the Lake Erie shore front on the north side of downtown. The Flats was home to Cleveland’s industrial district and steel mills that located there to capitalize on the Great Lakes shipping routes until the 1970’s. With the demise of the steel industry, many of the abandoned warehouses were renovated and The Flats became a hub of nightclubs and various entertainment destinations in the 1980’s and 1990’s. At its peak in the early 1990’s, The Flats were home to the highest concentration of bars in the Midwest. After a period of quiet since the mid 90’s the Flats is now being redeveloped and features some of downtown Cleveland’s most exciting entertainment options.

Flats East Bank
Flats West Bank
The Flats is divided into two distinctive areas occupying both sides of the Cuyahoga River: The East and West Banks. The East Bank is closest to downtown and is quickly becoming a business and lifestyle landmark. Located between the western edge of the Warehouse District along W. 10th St and the Cuyahoga River the Flats East Bank features new hotels, several restaurants, residential living and a 1,000-foot long boardwalk along the banks of the Cuyahoga River. This area is a nerve center of new development and is attracting a lot of attention locally and nationally. The Flats East Bank offers a lifestyle all its own with unique options you can’t find anywhere else in the city. Exciting destinations such as The Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar have recently chosen to locate in the neighborhood. The restaurants and entertainment facilities locating in this area are upscale, modern and offer the local flavors and personality of Cleveland’s nationally recognized and rapidly growing foodie scene. Rivergate Park was developed by the Cleveland Rowing Foundation to accommodate canoeing, kayaking and dragon boating and also calls the Flats East Bank home. This fabulous park provides an excellent opportunity to experience great views of the city while relaxing in one of the city’s most historic areas. The Crooked River Skate Park is located in Rivergate Park as well. This state of the art course is open year round and in all types of weather. Experienced skateboarders claim the weather variations make the course even more fun! Look for several new retailers and restaurants to call the Flats East Bank home in 2018! For more information on the Flats East Bank please visit: flatseastbank.com
The West Bank has been established a bit longer then the East bank and is home to several businesses that have been located there for many years. The Nautica Entertainment Complex, Jacobs Pavilion, the Greater Cleveland Aquarium and the Nautica Queen cruise ship have all called the West Bank home for some time. The FirstEnergy Powerhouse, a former power station located between the Jacobs Pavilion and the Nautica Queen base, has been transformed to host a few major local attractions and restaurants. It is home to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, the Nautica Café, and Windows on the River and all together these three destinations provide a fun family adventure in one location. This area has recently been named the Nautica Entertainment District. Recently, the Steelyard Commons was developed near the West Bank just south of the downtown area and features a wide array of retail, restaurants and even a 1-mile stretch of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath. Many family friendly events are held here throughout the year as well. There are numerous restaurants and nightclubs located here that offer many excellent entertainment and dining options. Many of the best and most memorable skyline shots of downtown Cleveland have been taken from the West Bank. For more information on the Flats West Bank please visit: thisiscleveland.com

Wine With Dinner?
50
We came up with a few quick wine pairing tips for you to consider as you contemplate your dinner destination. We’re sure you’ll find the perfect restaurant and hopefully these tips will make your meal a little more enjoyable.
Body This is a delicate balance of the “weight” of your wine and your desired dish. The body of each should match. Pair a rich, oaky California chardonnay with a rich buttery pasta and a lighter French Chablis with pasta cooked in a light wine based sauce. The wines and pasta complement each other rather than one overpowering the other.
The overall goal is to balance your wine with the food you’re eating. Give some thought as to whether your meal will be creamy, acidic, fatty, lean, mild or flavorful. Mild wines do well with mild food, big flavorful meals match well with big flavorful wines and acidic foods do best when paired with acidic wines. Acidic wines and creamy dishes do not mix well and spicy dishes can completely overpower some wines. Many times wines and foods go best together that grew up together. If you’re eating an Italian dinner you may consider an Italian wine, for example. Wine tannins are an important factor as well and originate in grape skins, seeds and the barrels the wines are aged in. Their astringent flavor strips the taste of fat off of your tongue leading to a refreshing meal. Some studies suggest that tannins may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. White wines typically have less tannins than red wines as red wines are aged with the grape skins and pips while white wines are not. We’ve identified five categories of wine pairing to introduce you to the concept if you’re not yet familiar. Have fun and Bon Appetit!!
Acidity Tangy foods can make wine taste flat. When eating dishes with vinegar and/or citrus based sauces try to pair with a wine of equal acidity. White wines made from grapes grown in California, northern Italy or France will usually do the trick. Texture Tannic wines go much better with fatty dishes as the tannins and the fat contrast with each other. The buttery texture of fats act as a tannin nullifier, alleviating the drying sensation of tannic wines while the tannins break down the richness of the fat. Tannic red wines pair well with any fatty meat, not exclusively red meats. They will also go better with a ribeye than a filet, due to the fat content of the ribeye. Sweet & Spicy A sweeter wine can take away some of the heat of a spicy dish. Sweeter wines are sometimes lower in alcohol which also helps offset spicy flavors. A high alcohol wine will enhance the spicy flavors instead of balancing them out.

Cleveland is home to three professional sports franchises: The Cleveland Browns (NFL), Cleveland Indians (MLB) and Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA). The Lake Erie Monsters represent Cleveland in the American Hockey League while the Cleveland Gladiators are members of the Arena Football League. Needless to say, Cleveland is a booming sports town! Between all of these teams, there are games scheduled all year long and chances are you’ll find at least one of these teams playing at home during your visit.
Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 was an exceptional year for the Cavaliers as they brought home Cleveland’s first NBA title in the team’s history! Led by local legend, LeBron James, the Cavs won a 7 game series against the Golden State Warriors after coming back from a 3-1 deficit. The only time the feat has been achieved in NBA history! The Cleveland Cavaliers joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1970 and have made 20 playoff appearances in their nearly 50 year history. The Cavs, as they’re known, were named in a contest sponsored by the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper. From 1986-1995 the team made eight playoff appearances behind free throw sharp shooter Mark Price and brad Daugherty. They won the Eastern Conference in 2006-07, falling to the San Antonio Spurs in four games. The Cavs advanced to the NBA Finals in 2015, losing to the Golden State Warriors 4-2, which they avenged in 2016. It was
68
their first title and the first time a team came back to win the series after trailing 3 games to 1. The Cavs play in Quicken Loans Arena, which was host to the NBA All Star game in 1997 and is located in downtown Cleveland. For ticketing and more information visit: clevelandcavaliers.com
Cleveland Indians While there isn’t actually a Rick Vaughn pitching for the Tribe, there is still plenty to watch at Progressive Field, formerly know as “The Jake.” (Rick Vaughn is Charlie Sheen’s character in the movie Major League. A must see before any visit to Cleveland! 2016 was an exciting year for the Indians as they made their fifth appearance in the World Series! They ended up losing the series to the Chicago Cubs after seven exciting games but certainly set the stage for high expectations in 2017.
THECITIVIEW.COM
The Cleveland Indians are two time World Series Champions having won the series in 1920 and 1948. They made appearances in the fall classic in 1995 and 1997 in addition to their 2016 run. The Indians were also a late 1990s powerhouse and appeared in the playoffs every year from 1995-1999. Led by Sandy Alomar Jr., Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez they are the only organizations in the last 60 years to score more than 1,000 runs in a season. To this day, the Indians own the most American League Central Division Championships with eight! For ticketing and more information visit: cleveland.indians.mlb.com
Cleveland Browns The Cleveland Browns are four time NFL Champions, most recently in 1964. Their most recent playoff appearance was in 2002 when they lost their rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team is named for their legendary first coach, Paul Brown. Brown led the franchise to a championship in its first year in the NFL, in 1950, and twice more in the same decade, in 1954 and 1955. The Browns won another title in 1964. In 1995, Art Modell, the franchise’s owner for the previous forty years announced he was moving the team to Baltimore. The NFL reluctantly agreed but forced Modell to give up the team’s naming rights, log and history. After ceasing operations for three years from 1996-98, the Browns returned to the NFL in 1999 and made an appearance as an AFC wild card team in 2002. Today, Head Coach Hue Jackson leads the franchise. In an un-scientific study, BizJournal named the Browns fans the most loyal in all sports, citing attendance numbers versus weather, climate and team record. A testament to their faith, an organization for Browns fans, Browns Backers Worldwide and its more then 100,000 members, is considered the largest sports fan organization in the United States. The Browns franchise has the fourth most players elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Among those are Otto Graham, Paul Brown, Jim Brown and Ozzie Newsome. The movie “The Express,” released in 2008, told the story of Browns running back and the first African American Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis. An annual award given to the nation’s best kicker was named after Browns kicker Lou Groza. The Browns play eight home games a year in First Energy Stadium at the North Coast Harbor near the Great Lakes Science Center and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum.
Cleveland Monsters Currently in their eleventh season, the Cleveland Monsters are proud members of the American Hockey League (AHL) as the developmental affiliate of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Columbus Blue Jackets. The Monsters are part of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena organization and are owned by a group led by Cavaliers Majority Owner and Quicken Loans Founder and Chairman Dan Gilbert. In 2015-16, the Monsters went on a 15-2 run in the Calder Cup Playoffs, finishing a sweep of the Hershey Bears in Game 4 in front of a sell-out crowd of 19,665 people at Quicken Loans Arena. Eventual series MVP Oliver Bjorkstrand scored the game-winning goal with 1.8 seconds left in overtime to give Cleveland their first Championship since 1964.

Mr. Rock and Roll
From his seat behind the microphone at WJW Radio in Cleveland and, later, WINS Radio, deejay Alan Freed did more to spread the gospel of rock and roll during its infancy than any other non-performer. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and raised in Salem, Ohio, Freed came to WJW as host of a classical music show in February, 1951. He befriended Leo Mintz, owner of Record Rendezvous, a store on Prospect Avenue in downtown Cleveland. Legend has it that Mintz told Freed that numerous white kids were buying black R&B records at his store and convinced Freed to begin playing R&B records on WJW. On the evening of July 11, 1951, Freed’s R&B show made its debut on WJW. Soon, Freed adopted a new persona – the Moondog, a crazed hipster who talked over the music, howled, pounded on phone books and banged on a cowbell. “Hello everybody,” Freed would say. “How ya’ll tonight? This is Alan Freed, the ol’ King of the Moondoggers, and its time for some blues and rhythm records for all the gang in the Moondog Kingdom.” By the following January, Freed’s show was causing a stir in Cleveland, and other stations began adding R&B to their play lists. Then on March 21, 1952, Freed, Mintz and Lew Platt, a booking agent and promoter, put on the Moondog Coronation Ball at the old Cleveland Arena on Euclid Avenue. A landmark event in the birth of rock and roll, the Coronation Ball was intended as an R&B concert staring the Dominoes, Paul Williams and Varetta Dillard. Despite the fact that the concert was only advertised on Freed’s radio show, nearly
72
20,000 people, mostly black, showed up – twice the capacity of the Arena. They crashed through the doors, knocking down ticket takers and ushers and by 11:30, the police and fire departments had closed down the show. The riot became national news, and Freed’s popularity escalated. Many now cite the Coronation Ball as the first rock and roll concert and, indeed, it many have been. But even more important, as another Cleveland deejay, Bill Randle, pointed out, was the fact that “it was the beginning of the acceptance of black popular music as a force in radio. It was the first big show of its kind where the industry saw it as big business.” Freed eventually moved to New York, where he grew in national prominence as he continued to promote rock and roll, via his radio show, television, movies and all-star concerts at Brooklyn’s Paramount Theatre. By 1956, Freed was known throughout the country, and he was arguably rock and roll’s bestknown booster. But by the end of the Fifties, he was a major target of the payola investigation, charged with illegally taking money in exchange for playing certain records. He eventually relocated to the West Coast, where he died a broken man in 1965. Alan Freed was inducted into the inaugural class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

One last look.....
Mr. Brainwash Thierry Guetta, internationally known as Mr. Brainwash, followed and documented street artists on film beginning in 1999, ultimately filming the most famous street artist: Banksy. At the encouragement of Banksy, Guetta began creating his own street art and had his first solo show as Mr. Brainwash in 2008. Mr. Brainwash’s artistic evolution is documented in the Banksy-directed and Oscar-nominated film, Exit Through the Gift Shop.
