Welcome to the first episode of the Cleveland Voices podcast, and the first entry in our two-part series exploring the development of the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood. The episode begins in the late nineteenth century – a time of neighborhood growth and prosperity. It culminates in the late twentieth century with the neighborhood at a breaking point.

Written and produced by Sarah Nemeth, Graduate Student of History.

A Special Thanks to This Moment In Black History for letting us use their song "Pollen Count" (from the album "Public Square") as the music in this episode.
