Once you find a place to park in downtown Cleveland, the Rubber Stamp is an enormous pleasure! Sadly, it's a bit too big to get a classic "trying to hold the giant object" shot. If you're already in Cleveland (especially at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, which is only two blocks away), it's something fun to see.
