Steelyard Commons: More Than Just A Walmart

Those of us who are from Cleveland relish the gritty, roll up your sleeves history, the sight of a steel mill chimney spewing fire at night; I even have a photo of a rainbow I took as a kid, as a backdrop to a steel mill. Cities embrace their heritage or they lose their identity; at least that is my humble opinion.

To show ya that Clevelanders embrace Industry, this is the view from Tremont, Cleveland's hottest west side housing market, and the most coveted views are like the heart stopping one (to me anyway) on the left.

Now we have Steelyard Commons. On the surface it's WalMart and Target. But look closer, and there is even a playground that looks like an old blast furnace. The Western Reserve Historical Society is also working with the developers at Steeyard (and yes Mr. Brady, it's private industry lol) to establish the Steel Museum on the premises.

It's exciting - of course there is also a Railroad involved (my new fanaticism), and to read more about it, go HERE to my other blog.
