If you happen to watch the video of the peole celebrating their faith. Please let the President of Tremont West Development Corp. know your thoughts.

Here are pictures of a booklet made by the Cleveland Landmarks Commission in September 1977 featuring East Tremont [mainly the historic district] architecture.

The Tremont History Project has a new website. Look for more regular updates on the rich past of the neighborhood soon!

A while ago I asked if anyone had the link to a site about Tremont when it was known as the Southside. Well, the lady who runs it sent me an email today. It is a great resource on the history of the neighborhood. Make sure to visit Cleveland's Southside.

I stopped by the TWDC offices last night and looked at the Tremont History exhibit currently on display there. It's pretty informative and impressive. It should be open whenever TWDC offices are open, but the History Project folks will be on hand to answer questions on ArtWalk nights.

Andy Timithy has scanned in the pages from an article in a 1994 Plain Dealer Sunday magazine featuring Tremont artists. You can see them all here.

You can find all kinds of things when you're doing some simple Google searches. Like this December 29, 2005 Crain's Cleveland Business interview with Joe Cimperman:

Mr. Cimperman spoke with Crain’s Cleveland Business: On The Web about why he’s against recent proposals to reduce the size of City Council, why he favors the Tower City site for a convention center and what Frank Jackson can do to help spur economic development in the city.

and some Plain Press articles from as long ago as 1992. [I was eleven.]

The Tremont History Project has a new webpage.

From Walter's Weblog:

At one time, the building was going to be the Tremont Cultural Center, a grand live/work project. A group of artists lived within the cold, dank walls of this mausoleum, working for free for Joe to try to salvage the decrepit yet beautiful building. Nothing much ever came from it except bitter feelings and dashed hopes.

Now someone with the capacity to take on a project of this scale has done so...

The new owners of Gospel Press are talking with the Cleveland Landmarks Commission today.
