CLEVELAND, Ohio The ground shook. Debris rained down as the sharp teeth of an excavator bucket chewed at the concrete innards of a three-story, brick-faced building. A man in heavy work clothes and a hard hat sprayed water from a hose to keep the dust down.
That was the scene Monday as contractors began tearing down the former Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority “Big 8′ apartment complex on West 25th Street in Ohio City, a block south of Detroit Avenue.
After more than a decade of planning, dreaming, designing, and grant-writing, the demolition marked the first highly visible step toward the creation of a 23-acre park at Irishtown Bend overlooking the Cuyahoga River and the downtown skyline.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – National media seized upon the story of Anthony Hughes Jr.’s shooting last week, all using some variation of the headline: “Teen fatally shot after meeting about another teen’s death.”
It’s the kind of headline that commands attention for its disturbing irony, and also because of what it conveys about a city experiencing its highest homicide rate in decades. It’s a headline that says if you are a child in Cleveland today, chances are good that the violence will find you. Even if you gather with your peers to condemn it.
