Well now, that sounds like the Cleveland I remember! :-)  Is there still
a Rapid Transit train from Shaker Heights to Downtown?  I vaguely
remember dropping Dad off at the train station so Mom could have the
car.  I think we even went with him to work on the train once.

What about "The Flats"?  Has that area died out too?  I sure wish I
could get back there to do some 3D work around the steel mill!
