Hard Rock Cleveland


My 14th Hard Rock Cafe was in Cleveland. I visited here in July 2001. This is the first city we visited just to see the Hard Rock Cafe. It was a 4 hour road trip to Cleveland and an hour and a half to find the cafe. This was the hardest cafe to find. After walking a while, I asked some people for directions to the Hard Rock. I was pointed in a direction so we kept walking. Finally, we discovered it was in a mall at Tower City. There were absolutely no signs leading here.

I have not been back to this cafe and with its difficulty in finding, I don't see a roadtrip to Cleveland anytime soon.

Hard Rock Orlando


My 13th Hard Rock Cafe was in Orlando. This cafe is located at Universal Studios. It is the biggest cafe in the United States. There is also a hotel and a Hard Rock Live here. I was here in June 2001 for my honeymoon. This is one of the nicest cafes inside.

I was able to return to this cafe during Christmas 2008 and it's still an incredible cafe.

Hard Rock La Jolla


My 12th Hard Rock Cafe was in La Jolla, CA, about 15 minutes north of San Diego. I visited this cafe in June 2000 during my long San Diego vacation. This is my 4th favorite cafe for appearance. This cafe originally opened as San Diego, then was changed to La Jolla after San Diego got its own cafe.

This was the first cafe that had something from my favorite music group, Def Leppard, inside.

Welcome to Pennsylvania


I've lived here all of my 36 years and this is the first time I was able to get a picture with the welcome sign.

Hard Rock Cafe Tijuana

My 11th Hard Rock Cafe was in Tijuana, Mexico. I went to Tijuana for 2 reasons, the first to go to Mexico and the other reason was to get another Hard Rock Cafe. There are not any highlights from here to talk about. I was happy to get back over the border alive.

I have not been back to Tijuana nor do I plan to go there anytime soon.

Hard Rock San Diego

My tenth Hard Rock Cafe was in the beautiful city of San Diego. I was here in June 2000 for a wonderful 13 days. San Diego is my favorite American city, it has the best weather, very laid back, and the Hard Rock here was very special. I became engaged in this cafe on June 14.

Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore

My ninth Hard Rock Cafe was in Baltimore. I first visited this cafe in March 2000. It is located at the Inner Harbor. This was a cafe that my friend Rob and his family were able to see the power of the All Access card. There was a short wait, but I pulled out my card and we were seated instantly.
