CLEVELAND, Ohio — Our Lady of Perpetual Renovation. That’s what Cleveland Public Theatre staffers call their main facility, two buildings near West 65th Street and Detroit Avenue.

Austin Watkins wrote a great post on the reuse of the Detroit-Superior Bridge. In his post, he highlights the bridge’s unique site and ways it could become the anchor for redevelopment of trendy corridor.
