A hospitable Stagecoach stop... an Entertainment Mecca... and a power struggle playground. Join presenter Dennis Sutcliffe for the notable & notorious history of Cleveland's Doan's Corners.
Originally known as Doan's Corners, the area began as a stagecoach stop on the road from Buffalo to Cleveland. In the first half of the 20th Century it became an entertainment Mecca offering Clevelander's a taste of New York City high-life. By the 1970s it was referred to as an "inner-city Disneyland" and was the flash-point for battles with the city's power structure. Today it is part of the sprawling campus of Cleveland Clinic. This program includes audio clips from famous celebrities who performed in the neighborhood.
