Today is the anniversary of the founding of the city of Cleveland, my
home town, by Moses Cleaveland in 1796. You might note the difference
in spelling between the names of the city and the founder. In 1831, the
spelling of the town's name was altered by The Cleveland Advertiser
newspaper. In order to fit the name on the newspaper's masthead, the
editors dropped the first "a", reducing the city's name to Cleveland,
which eventually became the official spelling. The town's been through
a lot and, unfortunately, few people are familiar with its divers
beauties.
Lots of pretty in and from that town.

ReplyDeleteWe had a friend who worked at Case Western years ago. We loved to go visit. What a great city it was. And the countryside.
