A new retail development at Hough Avenue and Crawford Road in the Hough neighborhood would bring new businesses to the area while also honoring Madame C.J. Walker, a prominent African-American business leader who made millions selling hair care products to women in the early 20th century.
Cleveland Public Theatre, which normally does not run a summer season, made an exception this year in response to an exceptional year of theaters left dark because of a global pandemic. CPT’s Outdoor Stage performances will run July 1 through August 7, with more than ten offerings of free live theatre, music, poetry and more, all produced and performed by local artists on stages protected by tents.
Much like the proverbial middle child, Cleveland’s so-called middle neighborhoods, or communities like Old Brooklyn, Bellaire Puritas and Lee-Harvard that are on the edge of stability and decline, are often forgotten yet full of potential. Yet today, Village Capital Corporation announced that it has received a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Treasury that it plans to dedicate towards lending in middle neighborhoods.
Many people who need to hire a tree service never think about it where the lumber goes after it’s been hauled off their property.
