CityProwl

Happy Memorial Day everyone! So far, I've spoken to Shaker Hts Historical Society, who indicated that the Van Sweringens were very fond of names culled from England and 'Moreland' might have been assigned rather arbitrarily. I'm still going to check on a few other leads - thanks, buckeye1 for the Moreland Hills tip!

Interesting thread, guys, but I'm looking for the reason why these various streets/building/cities are named 'Moreland'. Was it an influential person? If so, what was his claim to fame?

Hi UrbanOhio-ers! I'm working on 3 neighborhood audiotours right now, of Buckeye, Fairfax & Wade Park. I've got a question: Does anyone know who the 'Moreland' is of Moreland Courts, Moreland Roads, Moreland School, Moreland Theater and Shaker Square's predessor, Moreland Circle?

Oh, no worries! Just a big week, here in CityProwl-land.

Hi jpop. Right now, I am gearing up to do some tours of Cleveland's neighborhoods, actually those close to University Circle. There are some more downtown tours I'll get to when I find some sponsors for them. CVB (that's Positively Cleveland) has a bunch of links to CityProwl.com on their website, which brings a lot of traffic. I'll be chatting with UCI soon, but need to catch my breath first! There should be some more PR coming from an upcoming article in the PD Friday magazine in a few weeks and I'm talking with Findaway and a hotel chain to offer the tours on a player to hotel guests.

Horray! The tours went live this morning. I need to add a map for the Warehouse district, but the Warehouse District, Public Square & Bank Lobby tours are officially launched. Hope you like them!

Hello all, I'll be recording downtown this week - in the warehouse district, Public Square and around Huntington, NCB, Fed Reserve, Ameritrust & Society for Savings (Key). It your in the area & see me, come say hello! (McCleveland, with an assist from Mayday, do get a shoutout in the Public Sq prowl)

You guys rule! I'll cite you both. But can you tell me how it ended up in Cleveland? Hmmmm?

Hello all - I have a question that hopefully one of you can answer. There is a canon on the NW quadrant of Public Square, across the street from the Old Stone Church. The plaque on it is missing, but I hear it might be from the Civil War. Does anyone know anything about it? I want to include mention of it in the Public Square prowl. I'll give the first person with solid information a shout-out in the recording!

Hello all- Thanks for hanging in there and keeping your up enthusiasm for CityProwl! While it seems that nothing has been happening for awhile, lots of planning has been done behind the scenes. I completely retooled my business plan and have come up with a strategy to make CityProwl both sustainable and scaleable, as well as distinctive in the growing market of audio tours. I am very excited about the direction the company is headed and can focus back on completing the first group of 5 downtown tours, 3 of which are in production now. I've hired writers for 3 scripts, which should be complete in 2-3 weeks. I will start recording the 2nd week in July and post production occurs by the end of the month. The tours should be uploaded to the website the first week in August, if all goes well. Wish me luck! I am hoping to then do tours of some neighborhoods if funding comes through and then a few more downtown prowls. Jennifer By the way, that 'baby' turned 6 years old the beginning of June! Not so new an addition, but he occupies more time now then he did as a newborn. Speaking of which, time to pick him up from camp.......

Hey Guys, Jennifer from CityProwl here! Yes, I've been in the eTech Hatchery for about a month & a half & sharing space with Cleveland 365.com. We have been low-key because we are still moving in & getting the office in shape. Some bigger signage is coming, but I think the tour rentals/purchase will be taken care of at the CVB Visitors Center when it opens in a few months. While it has been wicked cold, it is much better than working above the garage (not the basement!). Feel free to stop by & say hello when you are in the area!!

Hello All! Jennifer from CityProwl here - I just found this forum and am delighted to see the positive response to the audio tours. I am working with Findaway to put the tours on the Playaway units - I actually have some prototype units now with the first tour loaded onto them. When we have about 4 - 6 tours done, hopefully early this spring, they will be available on the units. CVB is interested in putting them in their new visitor's center.
