We Card!

Though Emily Post would cringe to hear me announce this, in the interests of saving you a trip (in, let's face it, less-than-comfortable strappy sandals!) back to the room or car, please bring your ID with you to the reception. The Hyatt tells us that their servers will check IDs both at the bar and as they seat you (for wine service during dinner). With such a vernal crowd, I just know they'll be extra busy checking for birthdays!

Using Cleveland's Public Transportation

Our wedding is VERY well set up for using public transport, for those of you who are flying into CLE, or if you just want to park your car at the Hyatt and leave it there.  

You can catch the RTA Red Line (Rapid Transit train) at the airport- to find it, just follow the signs.  The fare is $2.   The train runs pretty frequently on Saturdays (schedule is here)  (you will be going EAST from the airport).  The Hyatt is a mere two or three blocks from the downtown Rapid station (Terminal Tower/Tower City).  You'll come up out of Tower City to Public Square, hang a right and walk two blocks or so to East 4th and Euclid.  Cross Euclid and you are at the Arcade, which is where the Hyatt is.  

Here is a MAP of how to walk from the station to the Hyatt.

Getting from the Hyatt to the chapel is even easier!

You can take the train, but the bus is simpler yet.  The RTA's new HealthLine runs along Euclid Avenue from Public Square through University Circle and uses high tech, energy efficient busses.  It also runs pretty frequently on Saturdays (schedule is here, you'll be going eastbound from the Hyatt) You'll get on the Healthline at either East 2nd or East 6th, on either side of the Arcade.  Pay at the machine at the stop ($2 fare) and take the line to the Adelbert Road stop which is RIGHT IN FRONT of the chapel.  You'll see Severance Hall on your left and the chapel on your right.  To get back to the Hyatt, just take the Healthline in the opposite direction.  Easy!

If you prefer a tad more walking and want to take the train, you'll get back on the RTA Red Line (Rapid Transit) at Tower City.  Take the Red Line going EASTBOUND and get off at the University/Cedar stop.  Exit the platform on the University side.  You'll walk along Cedar, back under the tracks, and then MLK Boulevard to the chapel on Euclid.  It is not a particularly scenic walk, although you'll get a glimpse of the back of CWRU's Glennan Building, where Bill's dad Paul spent his career teaching and doing research.

Here is a MAP of the walking route from the Rapid station to the chapel.

The Red Line train back to the airport run on Sunday as well, the Sunday schedule is here, and you'll be going WESTBOUND from Tower City to the Airport.
