Yesterday, I drove through forgotten Cleveland--streets like Pershing, Bessemer, Harvard, Kinsman. I had an appointment to be in Cleveland Heights at 8:30 a.m. I don't need to tell you that the Inner Belt bridge is out. I took the streets that most Clevelanders avoid--let's face it--because they are afraid to see a face darker than their own. I left the Metrohealth campus at 8:15 and arrived at the Severance Center Kaiser facility in 30 minutes. I got to my appointment at 8:45 a.m. So, what's my point? Rebuild the Clark-Pershing bridge. We need to build and repair real and symbolic bridges in NEO. We don't need "Opportunity Corridors."
