Hey JimH... did you catch the PBS HD program 'Making Sense/? Cleveland'
last night?

No, I missed it. I will have to see if it is being shown again.


Interesting story about the flight to the suburbs in that area, and the
battle to entice middle class back etc.

The actual city of Cleveland has been losing population for years....as
early as the 1960's, with folks moving to suburbia.

The area we live in was once country and was relatively undeveloped when
we built here 15 years ago.

Interesting how the cycle repeats itself...the older suburb of Euclid
now facing the same decline experienced in inner city areas as people
move farther out into the cornfields building new communities.
One neat development was in Westlake I believe...an urban streetscape
type of high density development that gives people a feeling of living
in a real city out in the country.

Crocker Park. Retail and residential. That seems to be the new trend
replacing malls.

Across the harbour a smaller version of that type of shopping withought the
residential component is just opening up here.
looks a lot better than ugly malls or big box type industrial/business
parks.
