Cleveland: Be a tourist in your own city

CLEVELAND -- With the kids off from school, it can be hard to keep them busy. But there is a way to keep them entertained and learn something at the same time. A local woman created walking tours of Cleveland's main attractions.

Jennifer Coleman started City Prowl Cleveland. She has gathered a wealth of information about the buildings some of us pass everyday or haven't seen in a while.

All you will need is a computer and an MP3 player to download the tours.

Jennifer gives you specific instructions on where to start the tours, and walks you through giving you the history of that specific area.

"I think if people knew more about how special some of the structures and the story of the culture of the city are, they would be ambassadors and know that Cleveland is really a special town," says Coleman.

The tours are less than 45 minutes and you can stop and start them as many times as you like.

There are 8 tours, including the Warehouse District, Public Square, Wade Park and the Fairfax neighborhood.
