What was the Beachland before it was a music venue?
The Beachland Ballroom was built in 1950 as the Croatian Liberty Home, with the ballroom and tavern comprising the original structure. In 1976 the kitchen and back bar area were added. The Liberty Home was active on many social and political fronts and was a true Cleveland landmark before becoming Cleveland's most eclectic music club in the year 2000.
Where's the Beach?
We've had more than a few of you ask with a name like Beachland, where's the beach? Actually it's less than a ½ mile north of here. In fact, one of the nation's best known amusement parks -- Euclid Beach – was right at the north end of E. 156th St. Euclid Beach operated from 1894 until 1969 and "Beachland" became the slang name for the whole North Collinwood neighborhood in those days. A number of reminders of the "Beachland" era remain. On E. 185th St. we still have the "Beachland Branch" of the Post Office as well as hardware stores, dry cleaners and other businesses with the "Beachland" name in the area. On Lakeshore Blvd. there is even a Beachland Presbyterian Church! Sadly, very little of the former Euclid Beach Park still exists. The actual "beach" is still there, much of which is now the Euclid Beach State Park, a public swimming area. The old Euclid Beach carved archway entrance also remains and is now serving rather incongruously as the entrance to a senior citizen high-rise apartment building.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and The RainForest
- 3900 Wildlife Way
- Cleveland, OH 44109
- Phone: 216.661.6500
The zoo features one of the largest primate collections in North America. For the zoologically-challenged, that's apes and monkeys. Oh, and humans, too. The school-age ones are particularly cute.
Cleveland's zoo is pretty progressive. By 1910, it had started building exhibits where monkeys, bears and other animals could roam free outside of cages. In 2012, it pushed the exhibit envelope again by opening the $25 million African Elephant Crossing. Five elephants live in the five-acre habitat. With ponds for swimming, a waterfall, sand and mud pits, and boulders for scratching, the exhibit is as close to Africa as visitors will get in the Midwest.
The zoo's two-story indoor RainForest is an especially popular stop in the winter. It's always 80 degrees inside where visitors will find more than 10,000 plants and 600+ animals from Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Other zoo highlights include a lorikeet aviary where visitors can hand-feed nectar to the rainbow colored birds and The Center for Zoological Medicine where they can learn about veterinary care and potentially stumble onto a treatment in progress.
A new Circle of Wildlife Carousel, featuring more than 60 creatures hand-carved by Ohio artists, is scheduled to open in 2014. Last one on gets the dung beetle chariot!

Cleveland Orchestra
Severance Hall
11001 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio 44106
Admin Offices: 216-231-7300
Phone: 216-231-1111 Toll Free: 800-686-1141
It's no secret that The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the best in the world. And, it plays in one of most elegant concert venues, Severance Hall. But, this beloved Cleveland institution is decidedly not elitist or stodgy. In fact, you might just run into a cello master playing in the produce section of an area grocery store.
The Cleveland Orchestra has always shared its love of classical music with the general public through school programs and outdoor summer concerts at Blossom Amphitheater. But, in recent years, the outreach has gone downright off-beat as the orchestra attempts to build new and younger audiences.
An informal Fridays @ 7 series mixes Cleveland Orchestra concerts and world music at the orchestra's historic winter home, Severance Hall, on select Friday nights. On top of that, anyone under 18 can come for free.
These elite musicians also hold "residencies" in Cleveland's funkiest neighborhoods that feature a string of free performances in unexpected places. (A record release party at a hot dog joint, oboe duets at a coffee shop, etc.)
But, there's still that special something that'll give you the chills when hearing all 100+ members of the orchestra perform together for the full-on classical experience. Be sure to reserve seats for a concert led by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, at Severance Hall, which looks like an art deco jewel box adorned with blues and silvers and elegant, feminine curves.
If you can't land a ticket to a performance, consider taking a free tour of the building, available on select Sunday afternoons from October through May. And buy an orchestra CD while you're there.
