Cleveland-2-Apr23-2016
I’m weirdly attracted to scenes like this one, which makes Cleveland a great city for me since there’s plenty of them. Funny that this is the same neighborhood as one of Cleveland’s big tourist attractions (lines for tours even in April, forget Christmastime), the house from the movie, “A Christmas Story,” which, when you see it, the house tucked into a dead-end in a grungy neighborhood, you have to wonder how the movie’s location scouts ever found the place and decided it was “right.” And yep, the leg lamp (“major award”) proudly shines in the front window.

The place is called A Cookie and a Cupcake and considering that they also have ice cream, it is a Ben Trifecta.
