Cleveland might not be the first place travelers think to visit, and that has helped preserve its authenticity and integrity. The streets and buildings whisper stories of resilience and struggle for those who will listen. In the 200 years since it was founded, the city has built and rebuilt itself, always facing expectantly toward the open lake and its future. "James A.
