Celebrating the Soul of Cleveland summarizes a life in Cleveland, a city whose very identity provides sustenance and support to all who welcome it into their heart. The project started with a simple discussion. The premise of this book and for the projects described in it is: Evolution. Community Arts Leader Nina Gibans loves our collective "aha" moments, when we "get it" and roll along - excited - together. Using images, stories, poems, interviews, reflections, and reminiscences Nina weaves together a new gestalt, a whole that is often present long before the pieces are put into place. A lifetime of experiences, encounters, discussions, are the parts of this, a multi-tasking of the mind, combined until they find the parts make sense and there is a city - a community. "Here is to all of the men, women, and children who have stuck with me through my life of joyous adventures and to the support of a loving caring husband and friendly critic whose bloodstream ran in the same direction as mine." - Nina Gibans

Recent years have seen a wave of new interest in urban living in Cleveland. The city's downtown and close-in neighborhoods are attracting young, college-educated residents and so-called empty nesters in growing numbers. Families with children are also reconsidering the city, thanks to improving education choices and fantastic access to parks and culture. Whether you're new to town or a longtime resident, New to Cleveland is your complete guide to joining the party. Inside you'll find: Descriptions and walking tours, with maps, of 12 Cleveland neighborhoods (and Lakewood and Cleveland Heights); Listings of restaurants, cafes, stores and cultural institutions; Advice on where to send your kids to school; Insights on the Cleveland real estate market, and help deciding whether to rent or buy; The best neighborhoods for students, artists, professionals, retirees and those who want to live car-free or car-light; And the answer to the age-old question, "Can I live in a cool old industrial building?" With more than 50 illustrations by local artist Julia Kuo, and text by writer and urban planner Justin Glanville, New to Cleveland will have you looking at the city with fresh eyes even if you've never lived anywhere else.
