Mark Souther presents a visual, historical journey through the development and demise of Cleveland's legendary downtown subway.
Mention subways in Cleveland and many people will wax nostalgic about the streetcar line that once ran beneath the roadway on the Detroit-Superior Bridge before ducking underground in the Ohio City neighborhood. Few know that downtown Cleveland missed several opportunities to build a subway beneath its streets. Please join Cleveland State University Professor of History, Mark Souther, as he presents the seldom-told story of the metropolitan fragmentation and feuds between downtown Cleveland businesses that led to the cancellation of a downtown subway during the 1950s.
