The double-decker idles outside the Barrel Factory as the city slides toward evening — glass glints, gulls wheel over the river, and the guide checks answers on a tablet. Guests climb aboard, phones at the ready, and the bus eases through the Old First Ward where brick warehouses and new breweries stand shoulder-to-shoulder. The river dares you to look away; the Lake Erie shoreline pushes the skyline into a wider frame.
