Cleveland Celebrates

The Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Champs victory celebration parade is happening today in downtown Cleveland.  It’s pandemonium in the metro area. An estimated more than a million people are amassed downtown. The public transportation system is swamped. The outermost station of one commuter train line is at the airport. The airport parking lots are full due to people parking there to merely try to catch a train to get downtown. There are long lines of people waiting to board at every train station in the area, and many bus stops.

My wife and I went to the train station one stop from the airport towards downtown. The scene was much like described above. It might have been a good idea if we had attempted it about three hours earlier. We will experience it from home via television.  The local CBS station is providing live coverage, probably most of the day.
