A New Welcoming Place for Clevelanders and Their Furry Friends
The enormous growth in the number of residents choosing to live downtown has spurred the Downtown Cleveland Alliance to announce the launch of a crowd funding campaign to create a new dog park in the Flats. The park will be built near the banks of the Cuyahoga River at Settler’s Landing and is conveniently located across from the RTA station on West Superior Avenue – a fitting site for dedicated Clevelanders given it’s the landing site of Moses Cleaveland in 1796!
Painesville Hispanic population up 22%

The dramatic growth in the Hispanic population has coincided with a high rate of student transience and poverty. To combat these problems, school district Superintendent John Shepard and Assistant Superintendent Josh Englehart are leading a community improvement effort to address the needs of the growing Hispanic student population.
