Cleveland waterfront news and information covering the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie.
Has the time arrived for Cleveland to start thinking about its own version of a Coney Island or Navy Pier on the waterfront? Wizbang!'s pop-up circus at the Flats East Bank is fleshing out that idea on the banks of the Cuyahoga River. Wizbang's Danielle Tilk shares a few thoughts on Pinch and Squeal's evolution and their plans for the future.
Their final show of the weekend is Sunday at 1 p.m. Ticket info here: http://wzbang.brownpapertickets.com/
When you see freighters heading up the Cuyahoga River do you marvel at their ability to navigate through close quarters? We sure do, so we thought we'd give you a look at how these behemoths make the journey from Lake Erie to their industrial clients upriver.
You'll also see a wide perspective of the Scranton Flats Towpath as well as a segment of the newly dedicated Cleveland Foundation Centennial Trail.
BTW, technically Interlake Steamship Company's Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder is a tug/barge combo but at one time, the Pathfinder WAS a freighter!
We had the pleasure of riding along with Western Reserve Rowing Association as volunteers for their adaptive rowing program took Cleveland Sight Center clients out for their final practice of the season.
Team VIPER (Vision Impaired People Enjoying Rowing) has been rowing since late spring and they will be competing in WRRA's Summer Rowing League championship regatta this Saturday at Cleveland Rowing Foundation. Regatta details are here: http://www.westernreserverowing.com/news/final-srl-regatta/
The Cleveland Sight Center's mission is to empower people who are blind or who have limited vision to realize their full potential and to shape the community's vision of that potential.
