In this episode of the History and the Stories of our Neighborhoods, we will tell the story of Cleveland's first neighborhood, which is the Flats and the Warehouse District - some of the most popular neighborhoods in which to visit when in town. The rich history of the city, starts here, and as we celebrate Cleveland's 225th birthday of it's founding, this is a great way to tell the story of such a prominent place in the city's history.

The flats in the 80s was THE place to be. Party in the clubs, dancing in the streets. Oh the memories.

@artdeko1759 7 дней назад

Ahhh, I too remember those days. Even the early 90s were good. What happened???

@hungrysoles 2 года назад

Thank you for remembering Lorenzo Carter. My great-grnndmother was a direct descendant of Maj. Carter. Her descendant, Ezekiel Holly married Lucy Carter, the sister of Major Carter.

I used to manage Club Aqua on Scranton . The building used to be Jims Steakhouse . The Mob controlled it prior to the club opening and when I when I was having the credit card machines hooked up we discovered there were 27 separate phone lines coming into the building .

Wowwwwwww! That many phones lines probably means wiretap avoidance 😂

Very well done. From start to finish I could not break away from this video. As a lifelong Clevelander, I learned much for this outstanding presentation. Thanks

@haroldpalmer7573 Год назад

That is the most information I have ever seen about my home city. There should be more videos like this.

Thanks for publishing.

Don’t forget Cleaveland and his survey party also established Euclid which was larger than Cleveland until the Ohio Canal. (Now a city east of Cleveland) This is very comprehensive unlike anything I’ve heard before. Most Cleveland residents never knew any of this.

Congrats on spelling his name correctly.

Awesome video thank you. My family (Creek and Powhatan) migrated to Cleveland back in the 60s from South. Always felt a sense of heavy history here and a connection with the waters. Visiting put n bay island was very emotional but exciting for me. There are so many hidden gems in Cleveland so I’m grateful my family settled here. But also felt like my home is not here.

@manputty4u Год назад

No. The flats did not die because some rowdy drunks fell in the river. It was eyed on by developers and city government (bought off?) made it too difficult for those businesses to operate!

@jackoff1826 Год назад

Good to hear some truths spoken here. Wolstien and corrupt government under Mike White killed the true flats off for rich people's control and profits. Today's flats is crap compared to what they used to be.

@glam2gobeauty811 5 месяцев назад

Bingo! The city got greedy and powetr hungry. Its ashame even with the newer development on the East bank how the west bank looks ababndoned with empty buildings, parking lots, and unfinished construction.

They started sending the popo kill the buzz and people were turned off to go the flats.. I moved to Cleveland in 1996 from Miami And I used to go to the flats and compare to Miami going to the flats was like going to church..

The best night club I have ever been to was The Mirage on the water 😊

I am native american (new name is called ojibwe) and black, my people came from England and settled in the CLE in the early 1900s to have a better life... We still call northeast ohio home, to this day... Its good to know the history of home!

@slicksnewonenow Год назад

@Mike Crews Boozhoo, niijii! I was born in Cleveland, too. My great great grandparents on mom's side were Ukrainian and Ojibwe... Great Great Grandpa and his brother came from Kishinev and met two Ojibwe women... And I guess the rest is history 😁

@blacklight4075 Год назад

Yes!!! Thanks for helping represent.

Awesome video! Thank you so much!

@suzannerickles6169 5 месяцев назад

Thank-you for a great history of the Flats. I would as others have asked to see more of this nature. I went to Case Western Reserve a VERY long time ago, and only been back once. As you can see, I continue to be fascinated by Cleveland and its rich history. BTW-have you ever considered walking tours of Cleveland.

I loved this educational video!!!!! Thank you

@thejoeyd9207 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this educational video. I was happy to hear you tell the WHOLE story regarding that 1969 fire. It wasn’t the first fire on the river, it wasn’t the worst fire on the river and it wasn’t the only river in the country (or the world) to ever catch fire. Well done!

@user-tf2ru7oz6w 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad you mentioned Lorenzo Carter and his importance to the estblishment of Cleveland. My great-grandmother was a direct descendanr of Ezechiel Holly, Major Carter;s second in command. They were good friends and he married Lucy Carter, Major Carter's sister. Has anyone written the definitive biography of Major Carter ? I;d like to read it .

@williammiller456 9 месяцев назад

Not yet!!

@williammiller456 Год назад

Fleet Avenue. Slavic Village. And Clay Hill/Forest City the German section off of Independence Rd. So many things disappearing but not forgotten! Friedens Church (1887) now a Baptist Church. The missing Forest City Cafe etc!

@user-gu1jk4qn6b 2 месяца назад

I hope you make one on the formation of Virginia, and those who made her a Commonwealth. My great x's9th grandfather came through Jamestown, around 1650, settling in what is now, Brunswick County. I'm unsure of how the unincorporated town, bearing my maiden name came about, or the town next to it, bearing my father, and son's middle names, but would like to find out more.

@williammiller456 Год назад

And Harvard Grove Cemetery on Lansing Ave the location of the Carter family the 1st settlers of the area!

I'd like to see info about Youngstown because John Young was just like Moses Cleveland & he never settled. Daniel Shehy did as well as Powers & Hillman. I would like to confirm they set out for Ohio at the same time

@richardcook4111 Год назад

The demise of the East Bank should never have happened. Under age drinking and lack of security doomed it. I much preferred the character of the older buildings that the sterile buildings of today. It used to be a regional drawing card, much like beall and peach streets. Alas.
