• Spot in the Cleveland Metroparks: The bike trails: I spend around 20 hours a week riding them. They’re well maintained and safe. They’re usable all seasons. Even when it snows 2 feet, they are plowed clear.

• Zoo attraction: The aquarium. I find fish very relaxing. And I am quite envious of their lives, except when they get turned into sandwiches.

• Ride at Cedar Point: The Maverick roller coaster. I love when you shoot out of the tunnel. I’ll go for anything except the ride that spins in circles and holds you to the wall with centrifugal force. I had a bad experience when I was a kid.

• Picnic food: Hot dogs and iced tea — quick and readily available.

• Annual summer event: The Cleveland Air Show. If I didn’t work in radio, I’d want to be a pilot.

• Place you’ll find me this summer: The Metroparks bike trails or the Towpath. A typical route for me is from the trailhead in Valley View to Peninsula and back.

summer in the city is ...

An adventure. Once the sun breaks out, Cleveland takes on a new life. There is so much to discover in the summer that gets tucked away in the cold months.
