Re: maritime query
Contact the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, OH. They are the
authority on Cleveland area history. I'm swamped at moment, but I know you
can easily scare up their address. I know there is a Superior Avenue...it
is a major thoroughfare downtime. Called a street at one time?? I don't
recall it ever being referred to a street. A lot of the marine support
companies are no longer downtown either....
