The Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights is 30 years old this month. Kathy Blackman opened the club with Matt Mugridge and Sean Heineman in 1992. The three worked together at Club Isabella in University Circle. Blackman bought out her partners in the mid 1990s. clevelandhistorical.org/file…

The scenic Quarry Park Picnic Area in South Chagrin Reservation masks the history of a small quarrying town that once thrived in the region, but clues to its hidden past can still be found if one knows where to explore. clevelandhistorical.org/item…

In or about 1822, Josiah Barber and Richard Lord laid out a village west of the Cuyahoga River. Its public square was located on what is today the northwest corner of W. 25th St. and Lorain Ave.—just across the street from the West Side Market. clevelandhistorical.org/item… #CLE
