Cleveland's Little Italy is one of my favorite places on Earth. It's vibrant yet relaxing, cozy/human-scale, diverse (no longer just Italian), historic (good & bad), and accessible (the new train station is great). I hope these photos plus the video I included below convey what I love about this neighborhood.

 

So my family and I started out at West 117th Red Line Station...

Little Italy really is a gem of a neighborhood.  Thanks for the photos.

Nice views of an interesting, big city neighborhood.  This captured the amazing foot traffic between LI and Univ. Circle, which Cleveland is exhibiting in several neighborhoods outside of downtown.

che bella!

Small town... :)

Such a lovely little urban neighborhood. I think it's my favorite neighborhood in Cleveland- at least of the ones I've been to.

I've heard people who relocate to Cleveland refer to Cleveland as a big small town. Or is it a small big city.

Great pics KJP[/member]. 

Incredible photos.  Thank you KJP.
