putting the 'metro' in metroparks: expansion follows population back to city center

Diana Simeon Thursday, May 10, 2012
When the Metroparks were planned in the early 20th century, they were envisioned as a chain of connected reservations encircling (but not in) the city of Cleveland -- hence the name “Emerald Necklace.” But as more residents move to the urban core, the Metroparks knew the time was right to follow them.

with lorktech, case students poised to enter growing flexible electronics market

Lee Chilcote Thursday, May 10, 2012
How does an incorrect soda price at a retailer lead to an emerging tech company? Just ask Case student Mark Lorkowski, who came up with the idea for an electronic shelf display system while shopping for a case of Mountain Dew. With Lorktech, he hopes to drink up a portion of the $250 billion flexible electronics market.

Downtown

During the day, downtown Cleveland functions as the governmental, commercial and legal nucleus of Cuyahoga County. Daily, tens of thousands of people commute here to work at law firms, banks, insurance companies and in municipal offices. At the end of the day, many of those people get in cars or hop on trains and return home to far-flung suburbs.

But not all of them.

More and more, people are choosing to call downtown home. Taking up residence in converted warehouse lofts or sleek new condos, these pioneers are carving out an existence utterly opposite their suburban colleagues. And why shouldn't they? At every turn another architectural gem awaits admiration. Areas like E. Fourth Street and the Warehouse District offer hip places to eat, drink, and play. The Indians, Browns and Cavs all work downtown. On the lakeshore, the Rock Hall and Science Center offer educational fun.
