For someone who was born on the sea, being able to find a horizon unobstructed by land is a constant necessity. I have always tried to live in cities on the coast and to vacation in places where the sea was easily reachable. Moving from New York to Cleveland nearly two decades ago was made easier by the knowledge that there was a large, if shallow, inland ocean just north of the city. My first apartment was downtown where I could see the lake from my window. The view was too constricted, however, so I found a place in a high-rise building within a short walk of the waves. For those who are from land-locked states the satisfaction to be derived from an occasional inspection of that ruler-straight line on the horizon may be a mystery. For me it was a tonic during the six years I spent in Bratenahl. And walking on the ice boulders in mid­ winter was a special treat. I haven't lived there for ten years but it is the thing I miss most in my present location deep in Cleveland Heights. To travelers going to Canada, the Great Lakes can be an obstacle that must be negotiated by finding the seam between them. To others they are an immense reservoir of fresh water, the largest quantity on the planet. To geologists, they are a remarkable geological curiosity. For the residents of the area they are a guarantee that they will be able to water their lawns during the dryest summer and that they can, by going only a few miles, view a large expanse of water any time of day or night. And of course fishermen, boaters, and yachts­ men have their own reasons for appreciating the lakes. Local publicity about the North Coast and its allure may seem to be about the same thing, but I doubt it-it is good hype but not good geography. The lakes have a variety of dif­ ferent coasts and are at different latitudes, but they are quite unlike the east or west coasts or the real north coast in Alaska. We lakesiders live not on the North Coast, but in the Great Lakes Basin, an enclosed complex of beaches, coves, depths, locks, and falls, utterly different from what is conveyed by the idea of a coast. Cities at the same latitude as Cleveland on both coasts are a long way from the northern boundary of the United States: from New York City; one must travel 550 miles before reaching Madawaska, Maine, across the St. John River from Edmunston, Canada, and on the west coast, the 42nd parallel is over 450 miles from Canada. So what is called our North Coast really sits almost east of the center of our land mass. We are rich with water, the envy of Arizonans and oth­ ers and we should know a little about how this came about. Our emphasis this time will help you get the picture. 9-. ~, The Bird's Nest: Making of an Ethnic Urban Village James and Susan Borchert For most of us the phrase "urban village" brings to mind places like Rocky Balboa's Italian South Philly, with its densely settled, tightly packed buildings and small knots of residents conversing together along the sidewalks; thick smells of food and sweating bodies and the sounds of voices shouting in strange, vaguely romantic tongues flood our senses. These images may be stereotypes, yet most of us remember the plea­ sures of a day spent in one of these neighborhoods attending a wedding or religious festival. We marvel at residents' ability to "We believe a scholar should get as close to the preserve close personal contacts and to know everyone in the subject as possible­ neighborhood. The built environment reflects this intimacy Susan and I have lived in through the closeness of its buildings which seem to nudge Birdtown for two years, " and touch each other despite the diversity of their forms and says James Borchert. uses.

  • What Remains History and Locations of World Fairs
    WHAT REMAINS HISTORY AND LOCATIONS OF WORLD FAIRS This is a chronological list of exhibitions and fairs held throughout the world that gained international attention. A few regional fairs are included if they were significant to the author or for showcasing emerging technology. This list is a compilation from various sources, trying to respect the capitalization traditions from the countries of origin. When controversy arises about the date or name of a fair (should the 1849 fair held in Birmingham, United Kingdom be referred to as “Exhibition of Industrial Arts and Manufacturers” or “Exposition of British Society”) a choice has been made so the checklist remains an index of fairs. Brown text indicates that the fair occurred before the Bureau international des expositions (BIE) on November 22, 1928 or was not sanctioned by them. Purple text also shows the fair was not sanctioned, but indicates there is a link to additional information researched by the author. Black text indicates a BIE sanctioned fair. Blue text indicates a link to additional information about a sanctioned fair. 1790's 1791 Prague, Bohemia; First Industrial Exhibition 1798 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française 1800's 1801 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Second Exposition) 1802 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Third Exposition) 1806 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Fourth Exposition) 1810's 1819 Paris,

  • A City of Choice
    MAKING CLEVELAND A CITY OF CHOICE A Strategy for Development and Revitalization in Cleveland Frank G. Jackson, Mayor January 2007 Cleveland: A Community of Choice vital > vibrant > connected! Cleveland is becoming a “community of choice” for residents, businesses and visitors by becoming a city that is vital, vibrant, and connected. Vital! Cleveland is becoming a vital community with a prosperous economy fueled by new jobs in healthcare, medical research, information technology, product design, professional services and advanced manufacturing. Vibrant! Cleveland is becoming a 24-hour community with a vibrant downtown and vibrant neighborhood “town centers” where people live, work, shop, dine and visit in places that are mixed-use, mixed-income, walkable, transit-accessible and truly urban. Connected! Cleveland is becoming a place of “connections” where residents are connected to all the amenities of urban living – from education to jobs, from shopping to culture, and from entertainment to unique urban waterfronts – and, most important, where neighbors are connected to one another in neighborhoods that demonstrate the true meaning of “community.” CLEVELAND: A COMMUNITY OF CHOICE Making Cleveland and its neighborhoods “communities of choice” is a principal goal of the administration of Mayor Frank Jackson. A community of choice is a place that residents and businesses and visitors choose because of the exceptional quality of life and amenities that it offers. The roadmap to creating communities of choice in Cleveland is presented in the Connecting Cleveland 2020 Citywide Plan, Cleveland’s new long-term comprehensive plan. The directions to reaching each of the destinations along the way to that goal are presented in the plan itself as well as in the initiatives and programs of each City department that has a role in making Cleveland a community of choice.

  • America's World's Fairs of the 1930S Comes to the Henry Ford April 27
    For more information: Melissa Foster, Media Relations Manager 313-982-6126, [email protected] Designing Tomorrow: America’s World’s Fairs of the 1930s Comes to The Henry Ford April 27 – September 2, 2013 Nearly 150 artifacts from six Depression-era fairs in a never-before-seen experience inside Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn, Mich. – Mar. 21, 2013) – From highways to the television, all-electric kitchens to robots, world’s fairs of the 1930s introduced Americans to the modern and technological wonders that were expected to change the way we lived. Discover the future, as imagined by the innovators, architects and designers of the past, in Designing Tomorrow: America’s World’s Fairs of the 1930s, the newest exhibition opening inside Henry Ford Museum on April 27, 2013. Developed by the National Building Museum in Washington D.C., this exhibition explores how six Depression-era fairs served as a grand platform for innovators like Henry Ford to showcase their visions of a brighter tomorrow. Between 1933 and 1940, tens of millions of people flocked to world’s fairs in cities across the nation during the worst economic crisis the U.S. had ever known. These fairs popularized modern design for the American public and promoted the idea of science and consumerism as a way to rescue America from the Great Depression. Designing Tomorrow brings together nearly 150 artifacts from six featured expositions: Chicago, IL – A Century of Progress International Exposition (1933-34); San Diego, CA – California Pacific International Exposition (1935-36); Dallas, TX – Texas Centennial Exposition (1936); Cleveland, OH – Great Lakes Exposition (1936-37); San Francisco, CA – Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-40); and New York, NY – New York World’s Fair (1939-40).

    Northern District of Ohio Cleveland Division The United States District Ashtabula Court for the Northern Lake Euclid Cleveland District of Ohio holds Lorain Cleveland Heights Lakewood Cuyahoga Geaugav Parma court in Cleveland, Elyria Akron, Toledo, and Youngstown. These Lorain Medina courts collectively serve citizens of the Ashland Crawford 40 most northern counties in Ohio. Richland The Cleveland Division serves nine counties: Ashland, Ashtabula, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, and Richland. Jurors in the venue are randomly selected from a voter registration database that is maintained by the Secretary of State. Jurors sit in juries of six to twelve members according to the discretion of the presiding judge. Cleveland was settled in 1796 by General Moses Cleveland during his search for a location for the Connecticut Western Reserve. Initially, the harsh weather and landscape did not entice many settlers to locate to the area in the early years; however, but once the Ohio and Erie Canal was finished in 1832, the city began to grow rapidly. Now that the city served as a fundamental connector between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes, it transitioned to a manufacturing and business center for the region. Cleveland was a destination for the iron and coal being mined in the area and continued to grow as a manufacturing hub throughout the early 20th century. Automobile manufacturing was especially booming and included companies such as Peerless, Chandler, Winton, and Baker. In 1920, the city grew to become the nation’s fifth largest city, due in large part to its economic prosperity. After the Great Depression, Cleveland hosted the Great Lakes Exposition as a way to revitalize the area, and the city continued to experience growth and prosperity through World War II.
