Tucked away in the northeast corner of Cuyahoga County, Bay Village lies just outside Cleveland. The first settlers arrived around 1810 during the nation's westward expansion. The village was primarily agrarian in the beginning, home to many vineyards. By the end of the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution had gained momentum, and in 1896, an electric railway was built through the city, running from Cleveland to Toledo. Bay Village evolved from a fishing and farming hamlet into a retreat and resort area for some of Cleveland's wealthiest families. Many of their summer cottages still stand today as refurbished family homes. Bay Village explores this community's rich history through vintage images from the Bay Village Historical Society and the Bay Village Library.

reviewed Bay Village, Ohio (Images of America Series) on April 12, 2011 Bay Village, Ohio
When I was a young reporter, I interned briefly with Don Boxmeyer in St. Paul, MN. Don was the original beat reporter become news columnist. He had his daily haunts for morning coffee - where he wouldn't hold court so much as listen to every word spoken - and he was respected in a way that is no longer a reality in journalism.
The title gives you a sense of Don's sense of humor (in a state with so many Knutsons, it's a pretty darn good joke) as well as his ear for nuance and humanity. He loved his hometown and every sentence he cobbled together was a reflection of that love and humanity.
I highly recommend this book of his columns/essays to anyone who enjoys lyric essays, and for anyone who feels nostalgic for the days when a pot of coffee and a newsprint paper was the start to the smart person's day.
