Cultural And Ethnic Tourism... In Cleveland
22 June 2004 - 1:00pm
Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood is a case study in community building in an ethnic neighborhood.
"A trip to the Detroit-Shoreway district is like visiting a cultural archeological dig, because this community retains the stamp of multiple immigration settlements, including waves from Ireland, Germany and Italy, all of which have had a profound effect on the area's architecture and commerce... In part, because the neighborhood is so committed to supporting these different cultures, the Detroit-Shoreway residents in turn are fully committed to supporting the local independent antique shops, stores and restaurants, creating a busy commercial district."
