July 31, 200816 yr i still don't see Highland HILLS It's at the bottom. Don't you see it? Or are you colorblind? he he he
August 11, 200816 yr I was born in Virginia, moved to and lived in Seven Hills (southern Cuyahoga County) most of my life, then lived in Lakewood for 2 years, and finally moved to South Euclid this year. Main reason for moving there: proximity to the new Whole Foods. And so far, I love the east side 10 times more than the west side and 50 times more than the south side! :D
August 11, 200816 yr ^seven hills, then wickliffe, then univ circle/cle hts, now toledo, so i can't really vote at the moment. i like east better also.
August 11, 200816 yr Biz, why do you love the eastside more than the west side and a lot more than the south side? Just curious.
August 11, 200816 yr Fair Warning: I have short patience for anything that reeks of East vs. West discussion.
August 11, 200816 yr Pope, I know what you're saying and I don't want this to turn into a debate. I am just wondering why some people like the east side versus west side and southside more. I ask this because I have only lived on the west side and east side and am interested to know why people like the eastside better.

Discussion is fine, I would just love it if everyone did it intelligently; which isn't always possible.

August 11, 200816 yr ^ OMG, I just read what I wrote in Jan. 2007 about east vs. west, but that was east side of city of Cleveland vs west side of city of Cleveland, which is a LOT different than east side suburbs vs. west side suburbs vs. south or any of that. As one of the moderators said above, for no vs. discussion, clevelandrocks, I am totally willing to share why I like it more on the east side with you, but I am not at all interested in saying one area is better, because honestly, I love both equally. But the south side, damn, that's a whole 'nother story.. j/k. :) I for one, have nothing bad to say about the west side. As a matter of fact, I have often found more similarities between the two sides than differences. Again though, I am referring to the entire Cleveland metro area when I think of "east side" and "west side" (and sometimes "south side"). The reason I like living on the east side better is because there is more accessibility to vegetarian and health foods, the main of which is Whole Foods, somewhere I had visited in Columbus, Toronto, NYC, and Long Island, and of which, I had longed for one in the Cleveland area. When one finally opened up in 2007, I was living in Lakewood, finding myself shopping there 3-4 times a week, so I eventually realized when I eat out and go grocery shopping, it's more often on the east side, so I decided to move closer to those places. So for me, it was a move that was based on my lifestyle and had little to do with much else. I still find myself in Lakewood and the west side area no less than once a week: Lakewood Park, Edgewater, and "Melt Bar & Grilled" to name a few examples. I do admit however, that I never go to Seven Hills unless I'm visiting my parents! I think I cruise right past Seven Hills to goto Akron more often than I actually get off I-77. :D
August 11, 200816 yr PS. My only recollection of Willowick was a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall on Lakeshore Blvd. and a nearby movie theater--now probably gone--that was in the 70's. That restaurant is still there! I went there on Saturday (totally 60's style chinese restaurant)
August 12, 200816 yr Hmmm... 1.3% of the UO voters live in my neighborhood (West Boulevard). Oh, that would be me and only me.
October 28, 200816 yr I voted Seven Hills, where I'm staying some of the time this month. I'm otherwise staying in Wickliffe, which was once part of Cuyahoga as part of Willoughby Twp.
October 28, 200816 yr well I know some people havent voted, there are at least 5 people that live in the Shaker Buckeye neighborhood, 2 in Glenville, Lee-Miles, and other areas.
October 28, 200816 yr well I know some people havent voted... If you'd included Willowick I could vote. While I can't see the poll results, it sounds from comments like western Lake county is as well represented here as some parts of Cuyahoga.

I didn't include any other county, as I stated before If someone would like to rep their county, then by all means compile a list. It's not that hard. These threads are also good reads. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,7917.0.html http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,12305.0.html
October 28, 200816 yr Downtown when I visit (still in college at UD). Downtown for real starting in January.

October 28, 200816 yr Glenville Baby!! Born and raised in Wade Park/Ashbury Historic District! My father was born and raised over there. He's a tru "tarblooder"!
October 28, 200816 yr Glenville Baby!! Born and raised in Wade Park/Ashbury Historic District! My father was born and raised over there. He's a tru "tarblooder"! Thats whats up! My mom is a tarblooder ('66) although I'm a John Hay Hornet ('97). All my fam went to either Glenville or Hay. We battle it out about which is better to this day! Seriously though I'm glad to see both schools are doing so well...Glenville sports and of course the new Hay!

Seriously though I'm glad to see both schools are doing so well...Glenville sports and of course the new Hay! That's too funny, one my cousins are in that dilema now. They are all graduates of Glenville and he and his family are the first to move out of the area. It appears his sons will have to attend John Hay - and he's not happy about that. I think people have very strong ties to their neighborhoods in Cleveland proper. My grandparent will never move out of Glenville. Recently my aunt/uncle sold their home in Lee-Miles and returned to Glenville after 40 years.
October 28, 200816 yr Lakewood, near Warren and Detroit Me too! This neighborhood could match any in the world for easy living. I could go for one more live music venue, but there's a bunch just down the road.
November 5, 200816 yr Originally from the Lee-Miles area and currently living in Bedford Heights. Also lived in Buckeye-Shaker and Warrensville Heights briefly.
January 2, 200916 yr It really is a great place. You certainly don't have to convince me of that fact! :wink:
January 2, 200916 yr Ever go to Dewey's Coffee? I sometimes go there when visiting East side friends. They've got these great Irish hot chocolates.

January 8, 200916 yr I'm not sure why it takes me so long to find these interesting threads. At any rate, I think it's really interesting to hear where people are from. Here is my story... I grew up in the very stale 'burbs, went to the urban metropolis that is Athens, Ohio, and then moved to Italy to teach English. Upon my return to NEO, I lived in Lakewood for a year (near RR border & would not do it again), Tremont for a year, and now Cedar Fairmount. As you can see, I have progressed/regressed to the East Side. Maybe it's bc my ancestral roots are on the E.Side (grandma grew up on Drexmore, J. Campbell's house :lol:), but I definitely think it will be my home as long as I am in Cleveland.
January 8, 200916 yr I have the east side ancestral connection too, specifically Collinwood and up. My dad lived there for a while before I was born. My parents are both from Knox County and I grew up in Newark/Granville. We moved to Warren (technically Howland) in 89. College started at OSU and ended at Toledo. I worked in Detroit for a couple years, then bounced around in Ohio a while. I'd like to end up on the east side too but I'm not sure where yet.
January 8, 200916 yr Former resident of the gayborhood a.k.a. Lakewood, current resident of Circleville, Ohio (Pickaway County).
January 12, 200916 yr Grew up at the edge of Tremont, moved to Ohio City. Took a leave of absence in Dayton for 4 years, now I'm back in the Detroit-Shoreway area.
