 uthor_info]Once a Clevelander always a Clevelander! I was born and raised 
 on the Southeast Side of Cleveland\, first in the Union-Miles neighborhood
  and then Slavic Village. After graduating from Cleveland State and spendi
 ng a few years in local law enforcement\, I had a lengthy corporate career
  which involved moving across the United States including stops in Florida
 \, Texas and California. During my career\, I was involved in both partici
 pating and leading organizations in investigations. I returned back to the
  “LAND” a few years ago and it finally hit me! I’ve been a life long
  student of Cleveland history and fascinated with the cultures and charact
 ers in the city.[/author_info] [/author]\n\nThe book is an engaging\, loca
