	Abby Gibbs Lakewood I caught a Cleveland Plus fish! And I caught the Lake Erie bug. Jet skiing, boating, beach and sun are some of the great reasons I live in Cleveland. Big city feel with a little touch of vacation paradise :) And amazing views of the sunset, Browns stadium and Key Tower. Where else can you get this much lake access? Nowhere!
