Cleveland's Public Square is the geographic center of town as well as being a hub for dining, shopping and transportation. The four-quadrant square is home to the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, a tribute to Northeast Ohio's sacrifices during the Civil War, and the Tower City complex, a mixed use facility with shops, restaurants and a cinema.
The Cleveland area is also home to several of GolfLink.com's best golf courses in Ohio, including Manakiki Golf Course in the eastern suburb of Willoughby, and Shaker Heights Country Club and Canterbury Golf Club in Shaker Heights.
Hotels around Public Square are among the finest in the city and are convenient to the RTA rapid transit trains that connect the square with Cleveland Hopkins Airport.
