Join us for an exploration for what makes Cleveland “Cleveland” with author Jim Sweeney.

Learn the answers to the questions native Clevelanders and newcomers have about the city.  Why is Dead Man’s Curve so badly designed?  Why is Burke Lakefront Airport still open?  What makes Shaker Heights so great?  There is a story behind everything in Cleveland and this program delivers them all. 

Jim Sweeney spent more than 20 years reporting in Greater Cleveland and thought he knew everything there was to know about the area. Then he started the research that would result in “What’s the Deal with Dead Man’s Curve and Other Really Good Questions About Cleveland” and realized he didn’t know as much as he thought. He remains fascinated by the city in which he has spent most of his life. 

Sponsored by the Friends of the Independence Branch Library and presented in partnership with the Independence Civic Center.
