Today, Thursday, April 18, marks the 75th anniversary of Superman’s 1938 appearance on the cover of DC’s “Action Comics” No. 1. Superman was created right here in Cleveland in the Glenville neighborhood by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.  This photo is of the Superman exhibit at Cleveland Hopkins Airport.

100th Bomb Group

100th bomb group restaurant

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.
