[PRCo] Re: Cleveland

[Herb Brannon]

Yes, Cleveland has come a loooooooooooong way since the Cuyahoga River caught fire in the 1960's. It is a rather odd fact that, in the United States, a 'good economy' can seldom be nationwide. Rather, it is regional. Some area do well for a few decades, then the 'good times' move to another region. Strange, indeed.

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.
