Readers will learn about places that are no longer in existence, the areas that are becoming increasingly popular, the natural history of Cleveland Heights, what Mount Pleasant was like back in the day, and Opportunity Corridors missed. The stories discuss starting a business in Ohio City, marketing Larchmere, first time home buying in Detroit Shoreway, self-loathing in South Euclid, troubling developments in Tremont, closed schools in Lee-Miles, and a vineyard in Hough. Bound together, they conjure a Cleveland as complex as its residents.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50174586519825,"sku":"CIN0996836721VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763706597649,"sku":"CIN0996836721G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0996836721.jpg?v=1751013870"},{"product_id":"chicago-neighborhood-guidebook-book-martha-bayne-9781948742498","title":"The Chicago Neighborhood Guidebook","description":"Chicago is famously a city of neighborhoods. Seventy-seven of them, formally; more than 200 in subjective, ever-changing fact. But what does that actually mean? \u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Neighborhood Guidebook\u003c\/i\u003e, the latest in Belt's series of idiosyncratic city guides (after Cleveland and Detroit), aims to explore community history and identity in a global city through essays, poems, photo essays, and art articulating the lived experience of its residents. Edited by Martha Bayne, the book builds on 2017's critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eRust Belt Chicago: An Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e. What did one pizzeria mean to a boy growing up in Ashburn? How can South Shore encompass so much beauty and so much pain? Where's the best borscht in Ukranian Village? Who's got a handle on the ever-shifting identity of Rogers Park? All this and more in this lyrical, subjective, completely non-comprehensive guide to Chicago. Featuring work by Megan Stielstra, Audrey Petty, Alex Hernandez, Sebasti n Hidalgo, Dmitry Samarov, Ed Marszewski, Lily Be, Jonathan Foiles, and many more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50229641085201,"sku":"CIN1948742497G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054648721681,"sku":"NIN9781948742498","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51478745579793,"sku":"CIN1948742497VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1948742497.jpg?v=1750965603"},{"product_id":"detroit-neighborhood-guidebook-book-aaron-foley-9780998904139","title":"The Detroit Neighborhood Guidebook","description":"Detroiters need to get to know their neighbors better.

This collection, written by both lifelong Cincinnatians and recent transplants, offers a sampling of life there today--the tensions, debates, the life-and-death battles, and, not least of all, the joys that make this city so alive. It's a genuinely felt collection that offers a unique perspective on an evolving and energized city, a homegrown portrait showcasing the voices of people who know something about the way life feels--and why it feels that way--in their communities.
