Cleveland is a city in the U.S.
state of Ohio and is the county seat
of Cuyahoga County, the most
populous county in the state. The
city is located in northeastern Ohio
on the southern shore of Lake Erie,
approximately 60 miles west of the
Pennsylvania border. Cleveland's
downtown architecture is diverse.
Many of the city's government and
civic buildings, including City
Hall, the Cuyahoga County
Courthouse, the Cleveland Public
Library, and Public Auditorium, are
clustered around an open mall and
share a common neoclassical
architecture. Built in the early
20th century, they are the result of
the 1903 Group Plan, and constitute
one of the most complete examples of
City Beautiful design in the United
States. The Terminal Tower,
dedicated in 1930, was the tallest
building in North America outside
New York City until 1964 and the
tallest in the city until 1991. It
is a prototypical Beaux-Arts
skyscraper. The two newer
skyscrapers on Public Square, Key
Tower (currently the tallest
building in Ohio) and the 200 Public
Square, combine elements of Art Deco
architecture with postmodern
designs. Another of Cleveland's
architectural treasures is The
Arcade.
Cleveland is home to four of the
parks in the countywide Cleveland
Metroparks system, as well as the:
Washington Park, Brookside Park and
parts of the Rocky River and
Washington Reservations. Known
locally as the "Emerald Necklace",
the Olmsted-inspired Metroparks
encircle Cuyahoga county. Included
in the system is the Cleveland
Metroparks Zoo. Located in Big Creek
valley, the zoo contains one of the
largest collection of primates in
North America.
Cleveland is home to Playhouse
Square Center, the second largest
performing arts center in the United
States behind New York's Lincoln
Center. Playhouse Square includes
the State, Palace, Allen, Hanna, and
Ohio theaters within what is known
as the Theater District of Downtown
Cleveland. Playhouse Square's
resident performing arts companies
include Cleveland Play House, Opera
Cleveland, Cleveland State
University Department of Theatre and
Dance, and Great Lakes Theater
Festival. The center hosts various
Broadway musicals, special concerts,
speaking engagements, and other
events throughout the year.
Cleveland's melting pot of immigrant
groups and their various culinary
traditions have long played an
important role in defining the local
cuisine. Examples of these can
particularly be found in
neighborhoods such as Little Italy,
Slavic Village, and Tremont. Local
mainstays of Cleveland's cuisine
include an abundance of Central and
Eastern European contributions, such
as kielbasa, stuffed cabbage and
pierogies. Cleveland also has plenty
of corned beef, with nationally
renowned Slyman's, on the near East
Side,
