Posted January 9, 200718 yr Forget the maps and district boundaries for a minute. I say downtown Cleveland is not just the area where the tall buildings shoot up into the sky. I see it like this: Downtown: Ohio City (upto W. 26)/Tremont/Flats/Downtown's traditional area/Chinatown/Quadrangle MidTown: anything between E. 55th-E. 105th between Lake Erie and Cedar Uptown: University Circle/Little Italy I am sure we all have our own definitions and boundary lines. So let's hear what you think! And if you agree with city council district lines, then we don't need your enlightening and corrections. It's all for fun folks!
January 9, 200718 yr Downtown has alot of notations to me. I see downtown as a collection of neighborhoods in the middle of the city. But I also call certain section of this collection of neighborhoods in the middle of the city, downtown. Anyhoo.. Downtown- "the container" The river to the lake to the innerbelt. Downtown "place" w 9th to e 14th, bound the by lake and the innerbelt. Midtown - innerbelt to E 105, cedar to the south, hough to the north. Uptown E 105 to cleveland city line, cedar to the south, wade park ave. to the north.
January 9, 200718 yr Uptown? UPtown? Oyyy... clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
January 9, 200718 yr Downtown to me is everything within the boundaries of the river, freeway and the lake. When I was a kid I intuitively knew where downtown was and figured Parma was uptown. Crazy. For those who don't know the official SPA:
January 9, 200718 yr As a neighborhood, Uptown = Bad. As a collection of neighborhoods (opposite Downtown and Midtown), Uptown = Makes sense, acceptable. As a branding strategy, UPTown = Unwarranted, Nonsensical, Vomit-Inducing
January 10, 200718 yr Uptown wasn't U. Circle, though. It was the area around East 105th, which was also known as Doan's Corner.
January 10, 200718 yr ^ Additionally, University Circle is separate from Little Italy, Ambleside, the old "Doan's Corner" area, and Lakeview Cemetery (Cleveland's share of it). At least one building near the Triangle at Euclid/Mayfield has "Uptown" in the name.
January 10, 200718 yr we've gone from downtown to uptown. Sorry to keep the ship off course, but what are/were the boundaries of Cleveland's uptown?
