There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets. The Ohio River was the original gateway into the state of Ohio. Those who found their way to the mouth of the Cuyahoga River at Lake Erie made their way upstream to high ground and left the swampy lowlands to small bands of settlers led by Lorenzo Carter. By the 1820s there were still less than a 1,000 people in Cleaveland, which had been incorporated in 1814 and still had its first "A." Legend has it that the pesky vowel was dropped in the 1830s so fit the town name into a newspaper masthead. Then New York state finished its Erie Canal that provided a water course from the Atlantic Ocean to the western banks of Lake Erie. Work began to connect the Ohio River to Lake Erie as well and competition to become the Great Lakes terminus for the Ohio & Erie Canal was furious. Alfred Kelley, Cleveland's first practicing attorney, landed the plum assignment for the town and its future was assured. The population went from 1,000 to 6,000 in the 1830s and by the time the canal era ended in the 1850s Kelley had made sure the town was amply connected to the nation's burgeoning railroad system. The second half of the 20th century saw Cleveland explode with the shipping of iron ore, the fabrication of metal and the building of ships. John Rockefeller and his lieutenant Henry Flagler not only made Cleveland the center of America's new oil business but a financial and corporate center to rival the established Eastern cities. The town's industrial area known as The Flats spawned mills, factories and endless rows of immense warehouses. As Cleveland fanned out along the Lake Erie shore it brushed aside Cincinnati as Ohio's largest city by the end of the 19th century. Most of the buildings from that era are gone. The Cleveland streetscape seen today is partly the result of the Cleveland Group Plan in the early 1900s that was the town's stab at the City Beautiful movement that swept America at the time. Most such plans never materialized but Cleveland's was more successful than most. Thousands and thousands of buildings were razed in Cleveland in its drive for "beauty for beauty's sake." Its centerpiece was the Cleveland Mall that extended from the main business area to the lake. Combined with the nearby Public Square that Moses Cleaveland had plotted as a ten-acre central park, downtown Cleveland has an abundance of open air. It is not only the proletarian buildings that met the wrecking ball. Euclid Avenue that runs east out of town from Public Square was known nationwide as "millionaire's Row" where Cleveland's titans of industry built elegant homes. Out-of-town writers would come to Cleveland and gush over "the most beautiful street in the world." Today Euclid Avenue has been shorn of most of its landmark residences. Our walking tour of Cleveland, where heritage structures stand cheek-to-jowl with modern skyscrapers, will check in on Euclid Avenue but first we will begin where Moses Cleaveland rowed his boat to shore and stepped out into the swampy morass while swatting away flying insects...

As a developing industrial city during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cleveland attracted diverse national groups. Their many churches and synagogues served as visual focal points and sociat centers in the city's ethnic neighborhoods. Today the resulting ensemble of sacred landmarks adds much to Cleveland's dynamic and visually interesting architecture. This guide, funded in part by the Ohio Arts and Humanities Councils, spotlights more than 120 of these structures with photographs, maps, and descriptive details about each building's architectural significance, construction, architect(s), location, and congregation. In addition, the guide offers 10 driving tours to the sacred landmarks, all located within the city limits of Cleveland and classified by neighborhood--downtown, University Circle, Ohio City, and Tremont areas, among others.Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Sacred Landmarks Research Group of Cleveland State University. "This book is by far the best available repository of information on the architectural, aesthetic, and cultural resources represented by these buildings. Through this book, Clevelanders can better understand, appreciate, and, perhaps, better manage these priceless resources." --Dr. Michael J. Tevesz, Co-Director, Sacred Landmarks Research Group 
Beatlemania swept across North America when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr appeared on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in February, 1964. The decade of the 1960s seemed to change overnight from black and white to color as a generation fell under the influence of the group's music, style and personalities. Hot on the success of their film 'A Hard Day's Night,' the Beatles 1964 summer tour filled auditoriums with screams of delight and excitement - and in some cases, full-blown fan hysteria. This was the case on September 15th in Cleveland, Ohio when police stopped the show in mid-performance and ordered the Beatles off the stage. The next year, they were banned from appearing in the city that is now home to The Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame. In August 1966, the group launched their final tour, but the innocence portrayed in 'A Hard Day's Night' only two years earlier was missing. Controversy raging over Lennon's remarks about Christianity and the group being more popluar than Jesus made their safety more of a concern than ever before. A scheduling change brought the Beatles back to Cleveland on August 14th for the tour's first outdoor show at Municipal Stadium. The results were the same, but on a much larger scale. The uncontrollable hysteria of Beatlemania reached a fever pitch as thousands of fans poured from their seats and crashed over police lines to be near their British Idols. It was obvious they could no longer be protected in front of audiences and the first murmurings were overheard that it would be the last tour. 'The Beatles In Cleveland' brings to life both these special moments in time: two of the wildest, out of control concerts in Beatles - and rock - history. Go behind the scenes to bring John, Paul, George and Ringo to the city, then grab a front row seat for back stage and on stage excitement through eyewitness accounts from the promoters, concert MC's, deejays, journalists, opening acts and fans. The story is also told through rare, never-before published photos, video stills and memorabilia. A concert by The Beatles was not just about the music, but also the emotions stirred by the most influential group in the history of popular music.

In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Indians highlights, lowlights, wonderful and wacky memories, legends and goats, the famous and the infamous. You’ll relive the impressive playoff run in 2007 but also the horrendous moments, such as the Indians 23-2 loss to the Twins in 2003. There was the opening of Jacobs Field in 1994, but also the black eye that was 10¢ beer night in 1974. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly Cleveland Indians includes the best and worst Indians teams and players of all time, the most clutch performances and performers, the biggest choke jobs and chokers, great comebacks and blown leads, plus overrated and underrated Indians players and coaches. There are Indians you loved for all the right reasons, and those you couldn’t stand, sublime and embarrassing records, and trades, both savvy and savagely bad. Brawls and fights. Rivalries. Compelling photos. And much more.Author: Mary Schmitt Boyer Kindle Edition: 192 pages Kindle eBook Company: Triumph Books (2008-05-01) (2008-05-01) List Price: $19.95 Amazon Price:

“Mystery readers, particularly of Cleveland and Clevelanders in general, should enjoy Roberts’ exploration of the city. Aspiring writers should enjoy his techniques and his dedication as a new mystery is born.” — Ohioana Quarterly“Les Roberts is a writer, and a damned good one . . . A nearly perfect paean to a particular place and the people who made it that way . . . It’s almost as though you were invited into a warm, charming home on a cold, snowy night—in Cleveland, where else?—and after you and the host are seated in front of a roaring fire, he begins to chat.” — CoolCleveland.com “Full of anecdotes and local color . . . a love letter to an adopted city.” — The Beacon Journal When novelist and television producer Les Roberts arrived in Cleveland from Los Angeles for a short-term consulting job in 1986, he wasn’t entirely prepared. It was January, and he’d brought no overcoat, no boots. That chilly Northeast Ohio surprise wasn’t all he was unprepared for. He never dreamed that, just months later, he’d find himself so completely won over by the place that he’d give up the glitz of Hollywood and put down roots in this rustbelt city. It took only a few weeks in Cleveland to convince Roberts that the city was a ripe setting for his next private-eye novel. Then, a chance meeting on an airplane led him to the inspiration for his new character: Milan Jacovich (pronounced My-lan Yock-o-vitch), a tough Slovenian-American sleuth with a master’s degree and a taste for klobasa sandwiches and cold Stroh’s beer. The combination proved very successful. Thirteen Milan Jacovich novels resulted, and with each book Roberts drew more heavily on real Cleveland places and people for the authentic local flavor of his stories. From the upscale Heights to the industrial Flats, from shiny new Jacobs Field to the aging ethnic neighborhoods, Roberts and Jacovich covered the town. They saw where the deals were made (Johnny’s Bar, Little Italy), the good times were had (The Velvet Tango Room, Vuk’s Tavern), and the bodies were found (all over the place!). In this memoir, Roberts tells how he discovered the heart and soul of a city while fictionalizing it for a series of novels. He writes about his favorite locations and his favorite people (and at least one person who was not happy to find himself in a novel). It will appeal to fans of the series, fans of the city, and aspiring novelists who want to learn how one writer took a city and made it his own through fiction.
