Designer, retailer plan Dredgers Union store on East 4th Street in downtown Cleveland Published: Saturday, January 15, 2011, 8:00 PM By Michelle Jarboe, The Plain Dealer Gus Chan, The PDPedestrians on East Fourth Street pass the future home of Dredgers Union, an apparel and home goods store set to open in June. The street, which has attracted chefs, residents and entertainers, could be a proving ground for new retail in downtown Cleveland, which has struggled to attract stores. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In a city built around the Cuyahoga River, the word "dredging" is synonymous with hauling up muck and opening the waterways to maritime traffic. But to Danielle DeBoe, dredging means clearing a path for retail in downtown Cleveland. Sean Bilovecky sees it as digging back to a tradition of designing, making and selling things close to home. When the pair opens Dredgers Union, a 4,500-square-foot store on East Fourth Street, in June, it will be downtown Cleveland's first new shopping destination in years. The apparel and home goods store could be a bellwether for retail in the center city, where once-lively storefronts sit empty. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2011/01/designer_retailer_plan_dredger.html

The best near me is Marottas on Lee in Cleveland Heights but for sure very pricey. My all time favorite is in my home town of Canton, Pizza Oven, very unique sauce and dough, different from almost all other pizza's I have had but always great. Has anyone had Pizza from the place in Parma that Drew Cary likes so much? I do not know the name off hand but apparently he gets it shipped to California on occasion.

Walking around East Cleveland - Yikes!!

From someone who is usually just a reader and too lazy to comment - this is crazy. If they anounced a 30 story tower many of you would have complained it should heve been 40. If the building was clad in stone you would have said it should be plastic. This tower will make a huge difference (possitive) with how public suare feels and looks. There are alot of possitive developments happening in downtown and we should be happy about this. If you look closely at our economy we are on the brink of a real transformation here in Cleveland but not one that will call for mega towers any time soon. We should be focusing on overall density and roughly 20 stories is the perfect height to start increasing this density. Yes it is nice to look at tall buildings from afar but having a dence walkable city with street life is much more satisfying then looking at several mega tall buildings. Cleveland's greatest fault is the negative attitude that persists in this community about our city. I enjoyed reading this forum because it mostly contained possitive enthusiastic comments but it seems this is starting to erode, and this is dissapointing. Back to being lazy.
