"There is a cohesiveness here now, a progressive spirit that my college professors first told me of, and that I first experienced when I visited Cleveland more than four decades ago. . . . A renaissance really is unfolding before us every day."

In Cleveland: Continuing the Renaissance, author Fred Griffith proclaims his love affair with the vibrant city that has become his home. He tracks the progress of this reform-minded metropolis from its rise as an industrial power to the dark decades of factory closings to the present-day euphoria of the 1996 bicentennial celebration and a significant economic revival.

Through it all, Cleveland has held fast to visions of a prosperous future. As a result, the city's rapidly developing lakefront has helped make Cleveland one of the nation's hottest tourist attractions, boasting Tower City Center, the Great Lakes Science Center, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Accompanied by photo editor Barney Taxel's selection of extraordinary images from the area's finest photographers, Griffith entices his readers to fall in love with Cleveland, a "kaleidoscopic, polyglot, varied" place where it is delightfully easy to "get lost."

Griffith invites you to experience the cultural bounty of the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Orchestra, the glitz and glamour of historic Playhouse Square, the awe-inspiring presence of the downtown skyline, and the lush park system known as the "emerald necklace." All these elements and more serve as reminders of Cleveland's rich past and glowing future--its glorious heritage and its continuing renaissance.
