Brother where you bound?
The west bank of the Flats is a bit of an entertainment center.
The east bank has lots of condos, apartments, and new places to eat and drink along a riverwalk.
Ohio City and Tremont are booming classic old Cleveland neighborhoods on just west of the Flats.

So much steel -- in the bridges in the Flats and made in the giant mills just south of it.
The auto industry made Midwest cities huge in the first half of the 20th century.
Cleveland (forget our rival Pittsburgh) made steel.
Akron made rubber tires.
Toledo made glass.
Detroit put it all together.

THE FLATS
Dozens of great bridges spanned the ravine separating the west side of Cleveland from the east.
Many carried cars.
Movable lower ones carried industrial trains.
Some carried commuter rail.

Cleveland's red brick factories, steel bridges, heavy wires and concrete masses inspired my sense of what an urban place should look like.

From the first time my family left the suburbs to go into Cleveland for an Indians baseball game, I was greatly impacted by the industrial bridges.
