Mrs. SFO opted for a nap while I headed out to take some pics of a downtown that has seen better days.
Iconic Terminal Tower, once the tallest building in the country after the Empire State Building... a long, long, long time ago.
And our home for the evening...
More pics from our Ritz-Carlton room before heading out for dinner.
Every now and then you get a stinker and tonight was that night. We had a choice of Morton's or Hyde Park Steakhouse. After a couple less than stellar Morton's experiences including in Cleveland, I opted for Hyde Park. Bad call. Wow, how depressing is this place with tired decor right of the 70's. Unfortunately, the food wasn't any better.
Yo chef, how about seasoning your steaks before your put them on the grill. And how do you get soggy fries??
For dessert, we decided on Key Lime Pie "made fresh daily". OK, whatever, Hillstone is still way better.
Then the table next to us offered a bite of their chocolate cake, which apparently serves 6-8. OK, that was good.
At around T-45, we headed up the street toward the Q.
And Mrs. SFO with my favorite pic of the trip. Channeling her inner LeBron.
The TNT Inside the NBA crew... Chuck, Kenny, Shaq and Ernie. The best in the business.
As the players came out, an absolutely electric atmosphere in the building as nearly 21,000 came to celebrate.
The National Anthem.
And player introductions.
Getting ready for the tip.
Not a lot of pics once the game began. And what a game it was with the Cavs playing their best game of the series, taking an early lead and building on every quarter.
Reviewing an altercation at the end of the half as the Cavs take a 17 point lead into the locker room.
Halftime entertainment.
Warming up for the 2nd half and all smiles with a comfortable lead.
As the Cavs poured it on and opened a 25 point lead, more smiles and the anticipation of the Eastern Conference Championship and heading to the NBA Finals.
And the post game celebration with most of us soaking up the atmosphere and staying for another half hour
A pensive Lebron, who came back home to try to end Cleveland's 51 year sports title drought, now just 4 wins away.
And the celebration continued outside.
What an amazing experience for a Cleveland sports fan. So glad we made the trip.
