Exploring Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, OH from W. 30th to W. 65th Street (June 15, 2024)

Over the years, more new businesses have started to move in to the portion of Lorain Avenue on the lower west side, extending the footprint of Ohio City activity a little more West. I did a walk from West 30th to West 65th Street on Lorain in Cleveland, Ohio to see what stores are there, what the future street renovations and bike lane may look like, and more. Filmed on June 15, 2024.

Wow, this was such a treat. I am 58 yrs. Old and originally from the westside of Cleveland. I lived on Wst. 17th until 1974/75 where My grandfather died at home then my mom and I moved to 1909 Freeman ave. Until 1977 when moved to Chicago where Ive been stuck ever since. I always missed home especially the West side Market. My father was accidently killed in a pool hall in Oct. 1966 by his own cousin. that used to be a blockd down from the Market on West 25th. So much history on the West side. In your video the last white building that's all boarded up on the right side before reaching the corner of Wst 65th. I remember it was a clinic of some sort and I used to go there with my Grandpa in the early 70's he passed in 73". He was layed out at Stas funeral home on Columbus Dr. It no longer exists. Whenever I hear music by The Eagles, Peter Frampton, The Stylistics, Pink Floyd I reminisce of Cleveland's yesteryear's. I remember as a little girl going downtown on the transit to public square seeing the animated figures during the holidays at Hallie's and Higgbee's. Aah The Cleveland memories are the best in my mind. And when some smart a$$ ask's me when i say I'm from Cleveland they'll say "eew, what's in Cleveland? I say too them "The Rock Hall of fame that's what! 😊 Cleveland may be quiet and dreary but over noisy crime infested Chicago I'll take that anyday. Cleveland is My home and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Someday I'll be back and I'll pay a visit with my Mom's ashes. The Westside Market is my favorite place. ❤

I used to take the #22 bus down Lorain at night. That was a wild ass hood back then. From W 25th to W 73 it seemed like every corner had a bar. In the summer they'd have their doors propped open, juke box music blasting,drunks fist fighting, never a dull moment down there on a hot Friday night!

I would love to see that area too. I appreciate your videos so I can see where all the businesses are. 😊

You should do a walking tour of Ohio City's Hingetown neighborhood. When we do a weekend getaway to Cleveland, we always forget to check it out. Videos that I've seen shows some unique restaurants & shops.
