Return to Cleveland Index

I drove to Cleveland on Friday afternoon, and stayed with friends David and Bob on Mapledale. There was a neighborhood yard sale on Saturday, so David and I walked over to Archwood to check it out. There are some great houses on Archwood.

I scored a free bike at a yard sale across the street. Nothing fabulous, but a pretty good sturdy city bike, and all it needed was new tires and a good clean-up and lubrication.

At noon, about a dozen of us met up at the West Side market and walked up West 25th Street to the Detroit-Superior Bridge to tour the lower deck and former subway stations

From the bridge's completion in 1917 until the end of streetcar service in 1954, trolleys between downtown and the West Side crossed the Cuyahoga River on the lower deck of the Detroit-Superior High Level Viaduct. Twice a year, the county engineer opens the lower deck to the public for self-guided walking tours.

In the area beside the Old Viaduct, new condominiums and apartments are being built.
