Cleveland Named a #4 on Travel + Leisure's World's Most Visionary Cities List


This post is a proud one- Travel + Leisure is a magazine of godly proportions. I have many times flipped through their glossy pages admiring (and sometimes visiting) the glamorous places they feature. I am so pleased to announce the city of Cleveland has graced their pages to hold the #4 spot on the list of Most Visionary Cities. What Travel + Leisure had to say about us:

4. Cleveland: Urban Farming

While Cleveland's forlorn steel mills may be crumbling, the city's shopping malls are springing to life—plant life, that is. In the former Galleria at Erieview mall, a project dubbed Gardens Under Glass is helping the mall morph into a greenhouse. Sunlight streaming through the glassed-in atrium, as well as a hydroponics system, ensures the lush growth of vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, and tomatoes. Once harvested, the veggies are sold at the mall's weekly farmers' market.
