East 9th St, Downtown

East 9th is the street that if you want to see it all. You can pick up east 9th right off of 77 and it takes you right through down town to Lake Erie. While passing lots of Cleveland landmarks such as, Progressive Field, Paninni's Bar ( which has rocking sandwiches), The Galleria at Erie View, The Rock Hall, Great lakes Science Center and the free stamp. Once at the end you can talk a walk, jump on the Rapid to see the rest of the town or take a ride on the Goodtime 3. You can not go wrong if you start at one end of East 9th and go to the other end.

This road is a complete shot all the way through Cleveland. My favorite part about this road is that at the most northern tip you can find the famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! There is something for everyone to do along this road! Nice drive but can get busy during rush hours.

E 9th is a straight shot from downtown, with lots of shopping, eatteries, and traffic friendly walk signals. Though at peak times it can be a challenge to get traffic to follow the signals! The marina at the end of the street is to die for, electric, water, good clean/safe docks and well maintained. They also have internet services, gas, small nautical store, and a playground for the kiddies. Busses and taxis frequent the area, so need to worry about being stranded.Easy access to the lake from the marina in less than 6 minutes. If walking or biking from the marina uptown, most places are accessable in less than 20 minutes, eatteries are open late on weekends and provide a host of friendly faces. Pricing is about average for the area. Parking along the street is sometimes available with meters that need to be fed, parking tickets and towing will happen if their system is abused.

E9th is one of the main roads that run right through the center of downtown (goes N until it hits Lake Erie). There are all kinds of things to do, from Browns Stadium, to Progressive Field (Jacobs Field). Also, the Galleria for shopping. A classic dining establishment to Cleveland also lies on E 9th- New York Spaghetti House (love the brown sauce!). I also love the Paninis restaurants (one on the corner of E 9th and Huron). Go for the Bacon, Ham, and Egg panini...yum!
