Lake Erie is no doubt one of the very best things about Cleveland and its size always stuns people who have never been here before.  I’ve mentioned my love of globes and maps before but wanted to take a moment to appreciate all five of the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior (HOMES).  The water is a major part of my life here, and always has been, but I often forget its connection to these other four massive lakes.  Pretty spectacular.
