CLEVELAND, Ohio – If you're looking for a great way to take in the sights and sounds of Cleveland, Lolly the Trolley offers a unique way to take a tour of the city's hot-spots.
Trolley rider George Prause from Chicago commented, “I think it’s a very interesting old city I thought the architecture was amazing the history was amazing there’s a deep culture to the city and thanks to the tour we got to learn a lot more about the city we are looking forward to the next few days here planning on visiting a few of the sites that we saw today and revisiting some of those.
“It’s amazing I’ve lived here all my life and there’s so much to do in downtown Cleveland I wasn’t aware of it. It was a great tour. I’d even do it again there’s so much to learn, said Carol Parent of Avon."
The trolley takes you on a 20-mile tour through downtown, the theater district and then makes its way to the city's museum district and wraps up the tour with a ride down the shoreline.
Sherill Witt is the co-owner of Lolly the Trolley, and she says Cleveland has changed drastically since she opened her business 34 years ago. “People are very curious about Cleveland so they do come and they always have low expectations and they are amazed when they do visit our city”
“People just want to know get a feel for the neighborhood in Cleveland they want to know about Tremont they want to know about Detroit Shoreway they want to know about little Italy they love our museum center our by university circle and people are just amazed that you can go to 4 museums within walking distance and one of the best art museums in the world and it’s free, said Sherill.”
“When the Lolly the trolley business began back in 1985 they said they had a hard time filling the tour with useful information because there wasn’t much going on in Cleveland at that time. There were really no large venues, there was no Browns Stadium or Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, nothing at North Coast Harbour, Ohio City was just a dream.
Besides the tours, Sherill has not only given people an inside look at the city, but they have also had an impact on peoples lives.
“We also do weddings, people that we married 25 & 30 years ago on the trolley, their children are getting married on the trolley and I get a little misty when I think about it that because we are part of family’s lives."
