Cuyahoga County, 458.3 square miles in size, is bordered by Lake Erie to the north, Geauga and Lake counties to the east, Lorain County to the west, and Medina and Summit counties to the south. If asked to characterize this northern Ohio County  most residents would note its reputation as a center for corporate and manufacturing interests, as a home for eleven institutions of higher learning, numerous cultural treasures, sports dynasties, and renowned medical facilities. Images of Terminal Tower, Cleveland Browns Stadium, Jacobs Field and the Q would likely come to mind; along with Severance Hall, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Playhouse, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The names of the County’s prominent sons and daughters might also be recalled including  Kaye Ballard, Drew Carey, Tim Conway, Phil Donahue, Margaret Hamilton, Paul Newman, Jesse Owens (moved to Cleveland as a child), and British born, but Cleveland raised, Bob Hope.  Others might think of opportunities for recreational activities including visits to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, boating on Lake Erie, or biking through the MetroParks. Or perhaps some might remember a night out in the Warehouse District or Playhouse Square. » more...
