You see a valley; they see a bridge. You see a busy intersection; they see a roundabout. You see a vacant building; they see the gleaming tiger mahogany bar inside drawing patrons from around the world.These are the Ohio City entrepreneurs. And, they see solutions. Take a lesson from these dreamers: don’t live in the past. Ohio City, one mile west of Downtown Cleveland, is buzzing with energy.

Restaurant patios clatter with the sound of laughter over craft beer flights and big bowls of locally sourced food. Cyclists pass along West 25th Street making their way between a neighborhood lined with historic Victorians homes and the towering skyscrapers of Downtown. And, it all happens as generations of shoppers — young and old — dip in and out of the historic West Side Market. Every venue you visit was envisioned by an Ohio City maker.
