When I think of Cleveland, many of the scenes that come to mind are moments I spent in the city as a child. I remember the first time I truly took in the splendor of Public Square: my grandfather and sister had gone to see a baseball game, and my grandma and I decided to adventure around the city. We spent a lot of time in Public Square, as I was entranced by the architecture. The Soldiers & Sailors Monument in particular had me transfixed… as a child, it looked as grand as a castle. Today, the area still offers the same sense of splendor to young visitors, but there’s even more to look forward to. In fact, Public Square is almost synonymous with family fun in Cleveland, and while that fun is echoed through every season, summer has a certain sort of magic.
