Built as a ruin, it’s what millenials want, a tourist destination, without history, but “cool” – It’s a replica of the 123 year old Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, struck by lighning in March, 2010, butted up against the very contemporary Cleveland Clinic.
While visiting different departments for my health care, when i was in rooms that had windows, it was the first time i looked out a window in Cleveland and couldn’t recognize one Cleveland thing.
The combination of service industries – tourism and health care – the obvious saviors of cities, perhaps a bit unoriginal, at least when compared to to the original booming development of industrial cities, which benefitted uneducated working people as much as working industiralists.
