Chagrin
husband Mark, and their 6 year old twins, Allison, and Zack. I had Kristin drive us
There is a small river that flows thru the town, and drops over
an unusual and large rock plateau just under the main street bridge,
and forms a beautiful waterfall, which is overlooked by several fine
restaurants, and an old Starbucks. It is an especially beautiful place
It is a quaint, old, preserved slice of Rockwellian Americana, and the guy who used to
write the comic "Calvin and Hobbes" is from Chagrin Falls. He drew the town
on the back of one of his books, featuring a giant Calvin terrorizing the
town, and carrying the iconic 100+ year old "Popcorn Shop" on the bridge.
We had a lovely day there, and obviously created some lasting memories,
because, as we pulled out of town, I asked A & Z what they liked most about
this cute little town, and they said "the ice cream". When I asked, "What else?",
they said, "the playground", in the park across from the "Popcorn Shop",
Good thing we drove 45 minutes for that.
I guess I can show them the pictures of the waterfall, to see if they’ll remember that….
