GuyBeardmane Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I've been to Metropolis. It was super sad. Like, they have the giant Superman statue and like a small row of buildings that give the whole small town vibe, they have a statue of a female reporter that they compare to Lois Lane, and then there's Thor's Gym. And then outside of that little street there is absolutely nothing, and about two blocks away there is a massive Harrah's Casino. Also these are old af, I have short hair in these pictures.

rpgamer Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 When I think of Cleveland, I just think of Cleveland Rocks. Which makes me think of Drew Carey. And then I end up remembering Drew Carey doing a strip tease. So. Thanks for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I always think of how the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" isn't about Rock and Roll. Makes me wonder if Ian Hunter still thinks the city rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, "hey, town that only gets tourists because of a fucking casino and this giant-ass Superman statue, I'm gonna open a business that blatantly references a Marvel superhero rather than a DC superhero, and not only that but a Marvel superhero that could canonically beat Superman due to the nature of his powers." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bat boat is more of a slap in the face than Thor's gym. "Welcome to Superman's home. He doesn't have a boat like me. Also, I probably steal all his pussy with my boat. XOXO Bruce." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decided to take me & my cousins to a museum & the zoo, but for some reason everything was closed on that day (don't recall why) & we went back to the hotel. It wasn't until recently that I learned that my paternal great grandfather immigrated from Ukraine to Cleveland and later sponsored my grandfather to join him. 4623 Clark looks like a somewhat sketchy area now, but I guess it was much better then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
