Trackwork Update

Renaissance Park

Saturday morning we stopped by Renaissance Park only to be disappointed that it was closed, yet again. The park is supposed to open at 8 AM, we were there just before 11 Am. We also came back a little after noon, and it was still closed, no surprise there. Taxpayers are denied use of a park that they paid for! If you go there and can't get in during the hours listed on the sign, please write to Debbie Conway at: debbie_conway@nps.gov Maybe if enough people complain somebody at Steamtown will take this seriously.

Moses Cleaveland

222 years ago today, Moses Cleaveland led his group of surveyors down the Cuyahoga River to the foot of what would become Superior Avenue and founded the city named after him, minus an "a".
