Basics and anything you forgot.

Good to know

A few things the locals know.

Lake effect

The snow belt starts right about here. Mentor can get a foot while downtown gets an inch.

Traffic

I-90 westbound into Cleveland slows before 8 AM. The shoreway is the alternate.

Parking downtown

If you head into the city for dinner, use a garage. Street parking is a hassle.

Local tip

I-90 is your spine here. Everything sits a few minutes off it.
