| Total Eclipse Of The Sky - Party At The Cleveland Lakefront Airport |

The 2024 Eclipse was one of the most popular historical events this year. The next total eclipse will not come until 2045. Amazingly, more often than we know, more eclipses occur around the world, but they are not visible in the United States (mostly occurring somewhere in the ocean). This eclipse was special because it went straight through the middle of America and blocked 93% of the sun for a little more than four minutes. If that's not enough to make you crazy, some hotels in Missouri (small towns) were charging $1,000 a night, for one hotel room! Despite all the chaos, the best seats in town were at the airport. KBKL "Lakefront Airport" boasts beautiful unobstructed views of the Cleveland Ohio skyline. Read more…
