  1. The Riddle Coach and Hearse Company was a major manufacturer from the 1860s through 1920s but couldn't afford to modernize their manufacturing processes to keep up with the major auto makers.

    I've always thought that Euclid was a nice town that really never figured out that its most interesting is the lakeshore, then again neither did most of the towns along the lake. I live in Willowick and in comparison, Euclid is fantastic architecturally.
  3. Yes, that was exactly what I was talking about. How did I know someone on here would know way more about a development a mile from where I grew up than I do.
  4. I grew up in Ravenna (and my parents still live within a mile of the area you're talking about) and I can tell you during a couple of discussions in the 80s and 90s when train service between Cleveland and Pittsburgh was suggested and studied the town was excited about it. There certainly wasn't much of a NIMBY attitude, of course thats largely because the town already has a couple of the busiest train lines in the area running through that it doesn't really get anything out of. That being said the new condos on Emerald Lake Parkway would be right across from where you're suggesting the Eastbound connection be. Admittedly the builders of those condos put them right next to a busy freight line and less than 100 yards from a waste water treatment plant, so I can't imagine a rail connection would be much worse, but it seems to be the only problem I can see in your idea.

    I take the Laketran #12 bus into work on the weekdays. If I get stuck working on a Saturday I take the RTA #39 in. I only really drive on the weekend or for an occasional errand.
