Missing Water Front My View
http://blog.case.edu/bac2/mt-tb.cgi/1283 , This entry assumes that everybody who complain about lack of water front are lazy sacks, who need help to what is happening in Cleveland. No we don't, we have discovered Gordon park and edge water park despite the fact these two places are effectively concealed by I 90 and route 2.
All I said and was acknowledeged in the above mentioned blog was the need for more access to water front.
Regarding the river front the above mentioned blog says directs us to a website to the cleveland rowing team. I thought a big city with an excellent water front will have excellent an trail along the river and some quays, where row boats can be stored and used. While people at Sherwin William river front office ave a nice park along the river front and a basketball court to play on during summer. We ordinary mortals have to pay thru our noses to sit thru shooters to get a glimpse of river front if the ben's advice taken
My single point is " River and Lake Front are natural resources that have to be made available to people and not concealed ad make peple discover"

Hi,
I don't think you are a lazy slack. I assume, however, that a fair number of people at CWRU (the most likely readers of this) have not lived in Cleveland for very long, and thought a list of things you CAN do (beyond shooters) in this town would be a worthwhile post.
As far as riverfront trails go, stick around. It is coming, maybe as soon as 2007. (I know, it's not much help if you are graduating and moving away.)
Chicago Mayor Richard Daly was right when he said Cleveland turned their back on their waterfront. However, people are making an effort to change this. You are right about one more voice being worthwhile. If you would like to help, I recomend checking these guys out if you haven't already. Their Scrooge's night out event is always fun, and they also offer other opportunities to help move Cleveland toward the goal of more open riverfront.
Cheers,
Ben
