First Stop: Legacy Village
Described as a "Lifestyle Center" in the middle of Lyndhurst, Ohio, Legacy Village opened in 2003 and has been a super popular place to visit, spend time, shop, and eat at ever since. On the weekends it holds many concerts to home-town bands, and is usually filled with people of all ages, ranging from parents with their children, teens, and grandparents. Both of us have been to Legacy countless times, because it is a place where you can find almost everything. From eating at some of our favorite restaurants (such as California Pizza Kitchen, Chipotle, Starbucks, Stir Crazy, Brio!, Menchies, and many more), to getting our computers fixed at the Apple Store to shopping at unique boutiques such as Charming Charlies or Francescas Collections, to shopping at more retail-like stores such as Nordstrom Rack, Lilly Pulitzer, Dicks Sporting Goods, Talbots, or Loft.
No matter what you are looking for, Legacy seems to have it. And if Legacy doesn't have it, then all you need to do is hop in the car (or even walk) to Beachwood Place which is right around the corner. The great location of Legacy is what makes it as popular as it is. It is right in the middle of the Cleveland suburbs and downtown Cleveland, attracting people of all types to stop and walk through. When we went this past week, we spent time walking around admiring what Legacy really is; a small village built for consumers and an incredible way to bring in business to help stimulate Cleveland's economy. We noticed how clean the streets were, and how friendly the people are who walk around. How happy everyone seemed and how great of a community legacy is adds to Cleveland's incredible city.
Second Stop: Crocker Park
Located on the west side of Cleveland in Westlake, Ohio, Crocker Park is very similar to Legacy Village. Since we both live on the east side of Cleveland, we do not get around to visiting Crocker Park very often. However, when we visited today, we saw a whole side of Crocker Park that we had not seen before in the past. While we had previously been there just to shop at clothing outlets such as Abercrombie & Fitch or Urban Outfitters or American Eagle, when we went this time we began to notice what an incredible area Crocker Park really is. Based on a French town-like setting, Crocker Park is home to many apartments and office buildings above many of the outlets. While it is a trek to get to Crocker park from the east side, it is well worth the visit. It has many popular restaurants and stores, and is filled daily with children, adults, and elderly couples as they walk around to enjoy the peaceful area. Crocker park is definitely a place to visit in Cleveland.
