Cleveland’s Hottest New Neighborhood?
Gordon Square reopens Capitol Theatre & unveils Streetscape.

Watch the Cool Cleveland Video with Thomas Mulready and Joy Roller.

Article from CoolCleveland.com

Joy Roller is at the center of the universe. As Executive Director of the Gordon Square Arts District, she is overseeing the complex and ongoing $30 million economic development project in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood that has already brought in over 25 new businesses, restaurants and retail outlets and made the neighborhood around Detroit & W. 65th one of the hottest in the region. Watch the video as Joy [shown here with Detroit Shoreway CDO director Jeff Ramsey & Cle City Councilman Matt Zone] talks about the restoration of the Capitol Theatre, which will be run by Jonathan Foreman’s Cleveland Cinemas running art & independent films (a Cedar-Lee West?), and the comprehensive Streetscape project, with cool bus shelters, new streetlamps and art by Cle-based environmental artist Susie Frazier Mueller. Next: more parking, plus a complete renovation of Cleveland Public Theatre, which started it all way back in the 1980′s, and a new theatre facility (finally!) for Near West Theatre. Ribbon cutting for the Streetscape is this Sat 9/26 and for the Capitol Theatre is Fri 10/2. Wow! http://www.GordonSquare.org
