July 16, 201113 yr I'd say Asiatown is an area within the Neighborhood of St. Clair-Superior, then. Neighborhood is loosely defined, and what we know as the "titled" neighborhoods in Cleveland are rather large compared to what one might colloquially think of as a neighborhood. Perhaps think of Asiatown as like a less geographically named version of something like Five Points in Collinwood? Or really, the Warehouse District or any of those subregions of the "Downtown" neighborhood.. If you're making a map of the known "neighborhoods" you'll do a disservice if you don't include Asiatown, I think, but then I've seen maps that show the area west of E. 55th as being part of "Goodrich-Kirtland Park." Perhaps it doesn't have it's own CDC and so the St. Clair-Superior site defined its borders accordingly.
July 22, 201113 yr I've updated the Cleveland Neighborhood map, here's an updated version. Thanks to everyone for their knowledge and suggestions. I've added Asia Town and Ohio City.
July 23, 201113 yr Where is Shaker-Buckeye? It can't be that little dot above Mount Pleasant. It is not, that little dot is Larchmere. A larger copy of the map can be seen at http://skorasaurus.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/version4-2-final_2011_07_22-cnm.png MTS, I'd love to hear your 2 cents on Buckeye/Shaker. =) Is Buckeye-Shaker one neighborhood ? Sounding ignorant, but is it often called that by residents and stakeholders ? I drive through the area weekly; Shaker Square and Buckeye are appear to be branded as two different entities. For example, I haven't seen any businesses or churches in the general area named Shaker/Buckeye; but I think there may be a couple named Buckeye (and Buckeye Plaza). I'll be the first to admit that I am not very familiar with the area but Is Larchmere just a part of the Buckeye-Shaker Neigbhorhood ? If so, perhaps it and Shaker Square are subneighborhoods within the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood.

Most people refer to the entire area, The Square itself, The morelands and parallel streets west of 121 Street as "The Square" or "Shaker Square". Buckeye plaza is in the Shaker-Buckeye neighborhood, but not a part of "the Square" itself.
October 25, 201113 yr After a lot of behind the scenes work on it [nearly every day for the past month or 2], I made an update to it last week, adding brooklyn centre and Lake Erie. Thanks for the feedback and insight, MTS. To help me understand, would you classify this area - http://i.imgur.com/Doz5a.png - as 'the square' or 'Shaker Square' ? Would you extend further south to buckeye ? Any other thoughts ? thanks, will.

Moreland, Kendall, etc. are apart of the Shaker Square "area", even though all or part of the street is in Shaker Heights. [if in Shaker they go under their Shaker Heights Neighborhood designation. Example Chesire would be in the Shaker Square area, but the Boulevard neighborhood of Shaker Heights. ] Between Larchmere and Shaker move the border to E. 126 St. Between Shaker and Buckeye move the border to E. 126 St. Between Buckeye and Griffin the border is 128 St. Between S. Moreland and Chadbourne, add Drexmore. East of S. Moreland follow the Shaker Hts/Cleveland border Thats the Shaker Square Neighborhood.
December 21, 201113 yr not to thread spam, but it's updated ! Some updates: - Added University Circle, Glenville, Buckeye, Union-Miles Neighborhoods - Renamed Larchmere to Shaker Square thanks to mytwosense http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,25700.msg583668.html#msg583668 (Larchmere will be readded as a sub-neighborhood)
