RTA Airport Rapid Station is new and clean. It is one of the several stations that has no staff…read moremonitoring so more based on a honest system. I was surprise that being an Airport station and the beginning and end station of Red Line it would be a self served format. I love the Airplane theme as they are kind of cute. Great to able to catch and train in and out of the Airport to downtown from here. The train was never busy the few times we were on, so not much a problem if you have more bulky luggage.

I love cities that have rail to the airport! It bumps them right up to the top of the list of…read moreplaces I consider for travel. And Cleveland is no exception with a train that take about a half hour or less to get from the airport to downtown. It's easy enough to navigate the ticket vending machine and get onto a train. And the return is more than simple with clear directions from the train station to the airport. Thanks, Cleveland. I had a great time and look forward to returning!

We too the Christmas tour of the Franklin Castle. It had been on my list of things to do for some…read moretime. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed very invested in the history of the castle. Oh! My! The castle is rich in history. My guess is you could take three different tours and learn something new from each one. We were only allowed to take photos of the first floor. The other floors had Air BnB rooms. Everything from the paranormal phenomena to the tunnels from the carriage house to Lake Erie were fascinating.

Fun fact: The castle is haunted!…read more I recently had an unexpected chance to visit Franklin Castle in Ohio City, and it was a very interesting experience. The Victorian mansion is ornate and makes you feel the weight of its history. The ornate stonework, hidden passageways, and eerie ambiance all add to its mysterious charm. It's definitely picture-worthy whether you're walking by or walking in. The event organizers were friendly. I was at the castle for pop art show held by Zack Webb. It was so fun to see the juxtaposition of history/antique and bright pop art. There was no guided tour, just a hang out in the main area of the house, and basement lounge (both very cool). If you're into history, architecture, or the paranormal, Franklin Castle is a must-see. Although I didn't see or feel any ghosts. It's equal parts creepy and captivating. Whether you're a Clevelander or a visitor, go see it!

Ever since its 2009 renovation, the Capitol Theatre has been a centerpiece of the Gordon Square…read moreArts District. It is owned by the Northwest Neighborhoods CDC and operated by Cleveland Cinemas, which also operates other renovated movie theaters in the Cleveland area. The theater has three screening rooms, and so it's usually showing a rotation of three different films at a time. Sometimes they are new release blockbusters, sometimes they are new indie films, and other times they are old school films put on for a special event (like the screening of White Christmas I saw this past December). Compared to other larger movie theater complexes, Capitol Theatre is both more cozy and more affordable. On Mondays you can get tickets for $6, there are matinee prices for shows before 6 PM, and the highest ticket price you'll pay as an adult is $11.75 (compared to, for example, my Valley View Cinemark which is $13.50). Like other movie theaters, they have very comfortable reclined seating, you can order adult beverages, and the concession prices will make your eyes pop. My husband and I prioritize seeing movies here if we can - it's a gem of Cleveland and I hope it stays in operation for years to come. The people who work there are always warm and friendly, and clearly have a love of the theater.

I thought I had been here before to watch a movie but I can't remember that moment. I did actually…read morecome in mid-October 2023 with my friend Gabby so this review will detail that visit which was a special event before halloween weekend. HISTORY -- The Capitol Theatre in Gordon Square is an old cinema that turned 100 years old in 2021. It is charming inside the theatre where movies are shown with a decorative outside building sign. The upstairs where the bathrooms are (there are also bathrooms downstairs) is old and it looks like someone's living room in a house but the simple nature doesn't bother me. There are chairs upstairs where you can sit and eat some of your snacks while viewing old photos of people who were involved in the Capitol Theatre. SPECIAL EVENT (MOVIE MARATHON) -- Who knew a movie marathon was a thing? It sure is. I arrived on the 21st of October 2023 for the 12 hour scary movie marathon. YES, you read that write, 12 hours straight from 2pm to 2am. I wasn't going to go but I brought my friend with me and we made it a fun evening. I hadn't heard of most of the movies so the anticipation slowly built as I waited for the first movie to start. I didn't know what to expect. We both received complimentary tickets. Halfway through the movie marathon, the organizers served pizza to everyone which was included in the ticket. My favorite movie was Final Destination 2 and my least favourite were Slumber Party Massacre and Hereditary. Slumber Party was okay and somewhat funny because the antagonist or killer was hilarious; however, part of the movie was just annoying and it dragged. For Hereditary, I didn't like it because I don't like devilish or supernatural movies. I can't remember the names of the other movies, besides Cabin in the Woods, as I'm writing this review almost a month later but I posted some photos that has a partial list of the movies. FOOD -- I purchased popcorn (medium, I think) and some sweets (candy). Of course, the price was expensive but that is common at most cinemas. My friend also bought popcorn but she bought a soft drink too whereas I bought hot tea. I would love to come to another movie marathon next year, as it happens just once a year, but I don't know if I will make it because 12 hours straight is alot of time out of my schedule. I highly recommend this local movie theatre. **** - 87/150 total reviews in 2023 - 638 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 December 2023
