Overview

Cleveland is a weekly online magazine dedicated to covering the good stories of the people, places and projects driving Cleveland’s transformation. We celebrate the people working on solutions and innovations that improve and uplift Cleveland neighborhoods and its residents. We honor the city’s people and history with an eye on all that’s good in and around Cleveland, and what’s next for our city. We fill the growing news gap that often overlooks Cleveland’s rich cultural heritage and institutions, the people working tirelessly on grassroots efforts to help their neighbors, our rich base of food entrepreneurs, and our dense core of small business owners who, much like Cleveland’s early pioneers, are growing ideas and concepts into thriving businesses. FreshWater writers take a magnified lens to Cleveland’s foundational history in building the city, industries, arts & culture, and magnificent buildings. Deemed both a “sprawling metropolis and a small town” by the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, we celebrate the future Bob Hopes, Tom Hanks, Garrett Morgans, and Chef Boyardees. We pay extra attention to Cleveland’s neighborhoods - their histories, struggles, strengths, and successes. We cover how people and organizations are responding to today’s challenges.
