So what about Cleveland? What are its nuances, its images? In addressing that question, \u003cem\u003eCleveland A to Z\u003c\/em\u003e is not a typical city guide. Rather than concentrating solely on the usual topics--landmarks, restaurants, shopping, and notable facts--this guide touches on deeper themes related to Cleveland's people, places, stories, and events. These 72 short articles reveal details about the city's rich history, while also hinting at the issues, attitudes, and even the quirks that define Cleveland's character. \u003cem\u003eCleveland A to Z\u003c\/em\u003e truly serves as an entry point for a fuller exploration of the city's history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally released as part of the Western Reserve Historical Society's 150th anniversary celebration, this book is evidence of the Historical Society's outstanding and nationally significant collections.

Those collections represent a trust for the community--an essential service to students, scholars, family historians, and old and new Clevelanders.\u003c\/p\u003e With striking contemporary photographs by Lauren R.
