Danny & Molly "bringing it" to Tribe Country!!"Uh-huh...that's right....we're from Chicago...you gotta problem with dat!?"
Good news is that Cleveland has a great stadium with an awesome scoreboard!!Bad news....it started raining at 7:05....and 2 hours later they called it.
Back to the park for a 1:05 start on Sunday....hopefully minus the rain.
I overdosed on Dippin' Dots....but I'll be OK!
Danny and I took a tour of the USS Cod submarine that is docked on the shores of Lake Erie.
(Danny on the artillery gun looking for Japs over Lake Erie.)
Pretty amazing that this beast was built back in the 40's with the limited technology that was available at the time. You can climb down to the torpedo launch levels...sleeping quarters...engine rooms...etc.
Everything is left intact including manuals, logs, US Navy kitchenware....GE washer...40's era green floor tile...and nothing is cordoned off from touching. You can lay in a bunk or sit down in the galley...old b/w pics from the '40s posted in the same room that you are in....with the same equipment from the '40. Pretty surreal seeing those pics and realizing that this was one of WWII's ironhorses. I would highly recommend seeing this if ever in Cleveland....very informative.
Warning>>You must be somewhat athletic and nimble to manuever around the sub.
When we went down the first galley ladder...
I was worried I would be stuck like Augustus Glopp.
(that was a good line...worth a Google if you don't get it)
Check out the Wiki link>>>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cod_(SS-224)
The McNally's rocked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
Now I must admit....I though this was going to be kind of cheesy.
But I was wonderfully proven wrong....we spent a quick 3 hours here and I could have stayed all day.
Tons of memorabilia and trivia from all genres of music...
Punk to Elvis....Hip Hop to Country Swing....they have it all covered.
Very busy today due to the Sox being in town....would be a great place to spend a rainy Tuesday at....
if you are a fan of music, you could really spend all day here.
A "must" return someday.
