The Coventry of the West?

Could it be that Detroit Avenue is becoming the Coventry of the West? I suppose the bloggers disagree, but think about it. Take out the college campus, and got some striking similarities.

The Capitol Theatre, an independant three-screen theatre, the Cleveland Public Theatre, an Avante-garde "off-broadway" performing arts experience, and a string of retail shops line Detroit Avenue. Add to that mix Gypsy Beans & Baking Co (coffee shop and bistro), LUXE (a trendy restaurant and lounge), Stone Mad (Irish Pub), La Boca, Happy Dog, Reddstone, and more!

What about a new street-scape so people can walk into the shops like Kitsch City and Room Service? Oh... it has that coming too... See the video below.



Even if there's only one Coventry, like my bloggers on the CCL Facebook wall said, you have to admit that Detroit Avenue is really coming into it's own and developing. I'm excited... I think I'll go to LUXE tonight!
