Herb's comments describe just the opposite situations in Cleveland and
Pittsburgh in the late 1960's and early 70's when I lived in Cleveland. In
those years, downtown Cleveland was dead after 5PM, and many old buildings
had been torn down but not replaced with new structures. At that same era
in Pittsburgh, people were staying downtown for the restaurants and theater,
and new buildingconstruction and rennovation was cranking up. Around 1970 I
worked with several people in Cleveland who took more than one weekend trip
to Pittsburgh to enjoy the attractions there.
