We at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation (CCGF) decided back then that the anniversary was worth celebrating – with a lasting gift to the city of Cleveland. The executive board soon embarked on a campaign to build a plaza that will serve as a main stage for One World Day and a performance space for arts and culture events from spring through fall. The project will be located near our kiosk, in land along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. It will be 100-feet in diameter and ringed with wrought-iron figures depicting a circle dance. An entryway will feature a medallion with the CCGF logo and will sit in a pool of cascading water, the symbol of life and renewal. We’re happy to report that the project is coming along well. Our capital campaign is proceeding: we’re raising funds for construction and for reserves that will help us maintain the plaza for years to come. Our dream is for the plaza to draw residents from the neighborhood, city, region, state, country and the world to the Cultural A MESSAGE TO YOUNG AMERICANS OF SYRIAN ORIGIN Gardens to hear music, revel in a dance By KHALIL GIBRAN (1919) performance, take part in an educational forum, and enjoy even more this beautiful treasure in the heart of Cleveland. I believe in you, and I believe in your destiny. I believe that you are contributors to this new civilization. Please join us in this effort. For information on how to donate, call 216-213-4045. Thank you. I believe that you have inherited from your forefathers an ancient dream, a song, a prophecy, which you can proudly lay as a gift of gratitude upon the lap of America. … I believe that you can say to Emerson and Whitman and James, “In my veins runs the blood of the poets and wise men of old, and it is my desire to come to you and receive, but I shall not come with empty hands. …It is to stand before the towers of New York, Washington, Chicago and San Francisco saying in your heart, “I am the descendant of a people that built Damascus, and Byblos, Tyre and Sidon and Antioch, and now I am here to build with you, and with a will.” It is to be proud of being an American, but it is also to be proud that your fathers and mothers came from a land upon which God laid His gracious hand and raised His messengers. Young Americans of Syrian origin, I believe in you! Dear friends of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens: PRESIDENT Sheila M. Crawford Welcome to One World Day 2018.

  • 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. University Circle came into being in the 1880s with the donation of 63 acres of wooded parkland to the City by financier Jeptha Wade, one of the creators of Western Union. “Little Italy.” was established in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants who settled there for lucrative employment in the nearby marble works. 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. University is home to many institutions that are not only assets to the neighborhood but the region as well. Among the assets in the neighborhood are: • educational institutions like Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Cleveland Music School Settlement, John Hay High School and the Arts Magnet School • health institutions the University Hospitals and the Veterans Hospital • cultural attractions such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance Hall, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Children’s Museum and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens • natural features such as Doan Brook and the hillside to the “Heights” • open spaces such as Wade Park, Ambler Park and Lakeview Cemetery

  • Cleveland, Ohio
    RED FIELDS TO green fields Parks Transform Neighborhoods and Waterfronts Introduction This booklet outlines a visionary concept to revitalize the uniquely positioned City of Cleveland, Ohio. Once a manufacturing center, Cleveland has diversified its infrastructure and is now considered an exemplar for downtown revitalization, urban renaissance, and public-private partnerships. Cleveland’s population peaked over sixty years ago in the height of industry, and populations have subsequently decreased with the decline of heavy manufacturing. The City faces continuing challenges from concentrated poverty in some neighborhoods and a market flooded with vacant properties, low property values, and underutilized commercial corridors. The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. This crisis also offers the City an opportunity to incorporate greening into community development by transforming derelict, vacant and foreclosed properties into green spaces that will serve as recreational and social hubs. Transforming these spaces from eyesores into assets will revitalize a community constructed through a solid work ethic. By focusing new investment in areas of Cleveland characterized by underutilized commercial land and foreclosed residential property, public spaces can be developed, jobs created, land values increased, and significant economic development stimulated. In the Cleveland metropolitan area, this can be done by turning Red Fields to Green Fields. Vacant land in Cleveland has the untapped potential to revitalize the State while creating jobs. Parks Transform Neighborhoods & Waterfronts 3 Problem #1: The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. The Status of Cleveland’s Real Estate Cleveland’s Population Decline The foreclosure crisis in Ohio is quite pronounced.
