  • University Neighborhood Plan Summary
    UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. The University neighborhood encompasses two of Cleveland’s most well known places, University Circle and Little Italy.

The dense housing in Little Italy represents the largest residential area in the neighborhood. There are a few other isolated streets of residential and student housing located in the neighborhood. The majority of the land in the neighborhood is either institutional use or park land. Assets.

  • Designing the Future
    JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF CLEVELAND Designing the Future 2019 Annual Report JFSA helps individuals and families find solutions to face life’s challenges with confidence. jfsa-cleveland.org Letter from the Board Chair and President & CEO Dear Friends, This year we celebrate new beginnings and the power of our collective community. Between October and July we watched with awe as our headquarters was transformed week by week into our new home. Taken down to the studs last October, our new space now sparkles with the energy of clients, staff and the light that shines in from numerous well-positioned windows throughout the building. In any given hour of the day, staff can now collaborate easily in one building, clients can use our large meeting Dan Zelman spaces for Zumba or yoga in the evenings, and our art studio is brimming with creativity through the week. Alyson’s Place, our medical clinic operated with MetroHealth, is larger and more accessible, and now hosts our dementia caregiver support program as well. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and foresight of our lay leaders and special volunteers Jeffrey Kahn and Gerilyn Gleason, who devoted countless hours to ensure the look and feel of this project came together as we hoped, and better yet, on schedule. Without our special donors and friends of the agency, we could not have embraced this opportunity. We hope you will enjoy our stories of success and inclusion in this year’s report. JFSA is community, and we are committed to ensuring families and individuals are welcome in our home, and remain active members of whichever community they claim as their own.

  • The Travelin' Grampa
    The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on fast, safe, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Vol. 3, No. 12, December 2010 This house where the 1983 classic film A Christmas Story was shot still stands in Cleveland and has been visited by more than 100,000 tourists. The RTA #81 bus goes there from downtown. Classic film’s hero’s home really exists The home of Ralphie Parker, the boy hero of the classic movie A Christmas Story, is on Rowley Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, not on Cleveland Street in some fictional town in Indiana., where author Jean Shepherd had placed it in a story he wrote. Shepherd grew up in Hammond, Indiana, where he graduated from high school and worked as a mail carrier and steel worker. Later, he became a radio broadcaster in Cincinnati, Philadelphia and New York. Grampa remembers listening to him on station KYW and chucking at his tall tales. Shepherd also wrote short stories, among them A Christmas Story. The movie’s producer looked at a half dozen cities and towns and decided to shoot its exterior scenes in Cleveland, because Higbee's Department Store there was willing to cooperate in the film’s production. It’s mere coincidence that the name of the street in Hammond where Shepherd grew up was Cleveland Street. 1 Pictures credit: A Christmas Story House Museum; Jennie Moore Cray. ‘Christmas Story’ house in Cleveland. Grampa’s granddaughters and leg lamp. You & grandkids can explore ‘A Christmas Story’ house Restored to its movie splendor, the house in the merry A Christmas Story film is open to the public all year around, but not on Christmas Day.
