Spring time has officially arrived in Cleveland! Normally that doesn’t mean much because it’s still 40 degrees outside along with clouds and rain. This year however is different because it has been absolutely beautiful outside with record setting temperatures. Make sure to go outside and enjoy the weather and the flowers.

I don’t normally post a photo on the weekends but I thought I would post one of the St. Patricks Day Parade. Cleveland has been celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a downtown parade since 1867. It’s one of the largest parades in the country. The crowd is estimated to reach around 400,000 people this year.

It’s Buzzard Day! Every year on March 15th the world-famous buzzards return to the Buzzard Roost in Hinckley Reservation.
From the Metroparks website: “March 15th is known as the ‘Ides of March,’ but is also internationally-known as the day the buzzards return to their summer roost at Hinckley Reservation’s Buzzard Roost. Grab the binoculars and search the skies with Cleveland Metroparks Official Buzzard Spotter, Bob Hinkle, and Cleveland Metroparks Chief of Outdoor Education as he searches the early morning sky for the first turkey vultures to return for the year. The search begins at 7 a.m. and continues until the first buzzard returns to the roost.”

The 100th Bomb Group Restaurant is located directly across from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Therefore, I drive past it every day on the way into work and thought this would make a cool photo. I have eaten there many times and the food is really good. The thing that makes this restaurant so cool however is its World War II era theme and amazing views of the airport. Make sure you put this unique restaurant at the top of things to experience when you are in Cleveland.
