The art, antique, restaurant, and entertainment establishments in Shaker Square’s two commercial districts will be promoted during the event.
Anna Arnold, Charles Burkett, Rodney Carpenter, and Mary Urbas are among the many neighborhood artists that will be featured during a special gallery exposition.
A group of volunteers from the Shaker Square neighborhoods of CHALK, Larchmere, Ludlow, the condo corridor, and the apartment corridor are planning the event to promote the following neighborhood assets:
• Financial Incentives - The Greater Circle Living Initiative offers forgivable loans and rent reimbursements towards owner-occupied Shaker Square properties for those who work in the University Circle area
• Lower Transportation Costs - Save on gas and car maintenance costs by riding the RTA rapid commuter rail to downtown Cleveland or the bus to University Circle
• Walkable City Amenities – Most necessities and amenities are within walking distance, such as a six-screen Cineplex, art galleries, a full-service grocery store, drug store, coffee shops, and specialty shops and services
• Vibrant People - The neighborhood is home to diverse and creative residents representing a myriad of cultures, ages and professions
• Fabulous Food – A variety of restaurants that appeal to every taste and budget call the neighborhood home, including some of the region’s most prolific chefs and patio seating
• Special Events - North Union Farmers Market, Larchmere Merchants Association Sidewalk Sales, the Coral Company’s free summer concert series, and other special-interest events
• Parks and Recreation – Nearby Shaker Lakes features six natural habitats -- lake, stream, marsh, field, ravine and forest. Amenities include a Nature Center, two hiking trails, and a bike path that connects with University Circle and eastern suburbs.
The volunteer planning committee welcomes the following:
