“I moved here in ’91 after looking for over a year, started out in U. City, looked at a place over on McKean and Arkansas, finally settled on my 2 family in the Heights. The thing that attracted me to the neighborhood at the time was the development of the Grand and Arsenal intersection with Streetside, Kinko’s and Hollywood Video, Mangia’s in it’s original incarnation with the open mike nights and the great art work, Cheap Trix, CBGB’s, Pho Grand etc. I paid 45k for my building and it’s had it’s up and downs, roof replacement in the first year on the “inspected” roof, plumbing replaced from the building entry point, window replacements, doors, etc. There is still much to do. But I love it. I love the 10 ft ceilings, the pocket doors, the fireplaces, a neighborhood where I can walk to fine dining, parking lot movies, fountain playgrounds, Sunday brunch, Mass, open and affirming, a truly community library and so much more.”
