Welcome to reality
In Tremont tonight, perfect weather intersected the monthly art walk with its usual continuum from international scale to folk art. Sidewalks teaming with bantering locals and wide eyed tourists trading in openings, Cleveland’s finest fares, and the surreal site of a thriving neighborhood in a city inked as in decline. The diversity of conversations are only matched by the cool night’s air tapestried with live street music in tempo with the most complex smells of spring blossoms and kitchens where award winning cooks toil in joy. Beneath the inauthenticity of economic generalizations, renaissance flourishes.

Great post! I love Tremont. I went to the Art Walk last summer with an “insider” and it was so fun. You nailed it eloquently.

It’s interesting as a destination neighborhood, not just a single-street drag. It’s a village in all respects - geogrphically, politically, culturally, economically.
