Last year we went to visit Emily’s family back East. Emily decided to surprise Chris by taking him to A Christmas Story House in Cleveland, Ohio. We arrived after Christmas and thought for sure the lines would be short. Once there we were informed they frequently have long lines. There was so much to look at that we did not notice the time we spent in line.
Plan to park down the road and walk a couple of blocks. Parking is very crowded. It seemed to be a semi-decent neighborhood and very well traveled: your unattended vehicle will be fine.
Rowley Inn is on the same street as the museum. If you have no preference of your food tasting good, eat there, otherwise look for the nearest fast food restaurant. While we do not remember what we ate, we remember it was completely horrible. Even beer could not have saved the meal. The only interesting thing about the restaurant was the fact the cast would get their meals there. Take a picture and keep walking is our suggestion.
Chris has always loved this movie. Since visiting the museum Emily has a new appreciation for the movie herself.
Before you leave Cleveland drive over to Lake Erie. It had a chilly wind coming across it, but for us Kansans we were reminded of home. It was a cool (no pun intended) item to cross off our traveling bucket list.
