Reinventing the wheel, Cleveland style; rolling along on a square.

There has been an awful lot of talk regarding the convention center for the medical mart recently. Hoards of ideas have been floated by the Plain Dealer (no I won't link until they get rid of that awful 'reader' survey you have to click through before you get to an article) and on other blurgs such as Cleveland Design City and BFD, etc etc.

Anyway, for those of you wanting to take a step back and look at some of the original plans for the city to perhaps surmise some original intent (best laid plans and all that) you may find the D. H. Ellison Group Plan webpage interesting. Not only for the old diagrams and images but also because of the *gasp* information.

It is almost as if at one time in the way distant past Cleveland was supposed to be a successful city!
