No, not the British, but the Amish. And it is great news! The Plain Dealer reported news of the Cleveland Furniture and Millwood Fair 1.0 taking place this week at the Halle Building in PlayhouseSquare. While it may not have much to do with theater, it does have a lot to do with PlayhouseSquare…as maybe you’re starting to discover by now, we’re all about improving the region.
PlayhouseSquare is heavily involved in the forthcoming District of Design –the aggregation of commercial/industrial design studios and showrooms from the region’s dense population of leading consumer product manufacturers. While already in place in the neighborhood is the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, the potential exists to fill many more office and retail spaces with design showrooms in our neighborhood with creative people. Add shoppers to this influx of workers and you get a sense of the economic impact this District could have on the local economy.
Stay tuned to the news and this blog for future announcements.
