I can’t be the only one that LOVES the movie A Christmas Story so that’s why I am listing this as a possible location.

What doesn’t say WEDDING like a leg lamp!? In all seriousness though, it’s a quirky but fun location that still says “Cleveland” without being the standard skyline shot. I’ve yet to shoot here, but I’m hoping that someone soon will want to go!
