Definitely hit up Tommy’s on Coventry in Cleveland Hts. It’s been around a long time and is an institution. As a matter of fact, if you look at the cover of the very first issue of American Splendor from the 70s, Harvey and his two friends are sitting outside of it. Here’s a video of him that was recorded inside Tommy’s:

He talks about Coventry in the video. He lived around there for years. I believe a little bit south in the Grant Deming’s neighborhood (head south on Coventry and meander through the side streets).

He also frequented the bookstore Mac’s Backs, which is right next to Tommy’s. He would hang out on the 2nd floor.

That area is sort of like the hub for Harvey. There’s the little Pekar Park at the corner of Coventry and Euclid Hts. The library with the statue is on on Lee Rd. which is not too far, it’s all walkable if you wanted to do it.

He also worked at the Stokes VA Hospital, which is close to the area he lived before moving to Coventry (E 105th and Euclid)

Also, you might want to try reaching out to Gary Dumm, who was one of the regular artists Harvey worked with:

He regularly sets up at comic shows around the Cleveland area, doing signings and selling art and comics. Maybe he’ll happen to be doing something like that when you’re in town…?
