We all know #PyOhio is great, but what can you do with the new friends you just met? #Cleveland has some great places to visit!
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is big, but did you know there's the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, Cleveland Botanical Garden, and several museums? What's your favorite?

Open Spaces can be anything you'd like to host. Just think of something you'd like to chat about, and reserve a space and interested folks will join!

On the bottom is a sign for Room 313 Open Spaces, and just above it is a table with notecards, markers, and thumbtacks. On the edge of the center right is a room sign that reads, Meeting Room, 313. And in raised text on the wall off in the background it reads, "The Alumni Association of the Huron Road Hospital School of Nursing Conference Room"
